Background

Locke transmigrated into the body of the youngest son of a count from the Anjou Kingdom. By the time he attends Aurelian Academy, the Frank Empire has captured Anjou's capital and the Augustine family's territory has fallen. Unlike the original Locke, he feels no attachment to the ruined kingdom and refuses to be provoked by Cohen Julian's mockery. 1

His memory and comprehension improve markedly after transmigration, allowing him to complete coursework through intensive study despite previously neglecting classes. At sixteen, he demonstrates Mana of 18 during a wizard-aptitude examination. 3 20

After leaving Corfu, Locke enters Lilith's Cottage under Witch Sophia. He develops his Botany magic, establishes a personal potion laboratory, and instructs three junior apprentices while building a research and production network around Magic Plants and potions. 28 126 127

Appearance

Bloodline modification leaves Locke with a balanced, strengthened physique even when his transformations are inactive. In combat, his body can become markedly larger and more inhuman. 209

• A brown diamond-shaped mark appears on the back of his left hand after consuming the Orkney Giant Bear bloodline potion. 52
• His Earth Sigil Skin spreads brown lines across his body and enlarges his muscles and bones into a small-giant form. 52
• His hidden bloodline manifestation gives him golden vertical pupils, a body exceeding two meters in height, and a flickering golden force field. 141
• The Three-Eyed Tiger-Eyed Cat bloodline produces tiger stripes and an Innate Magic Eye on his forehead while active. 209
• The Immortal Dragon Scale later develops purple-black markings associated with the World-Ending Demon Dragon bloodline. 748

Personality

Locke is calculating, pragmatic, and highly independent. He rejects the Reeves Family's investment contract despite its resources because it would obligate him to father children for the family and answer its summons; he similarly chooses a cheaper laboratory renovation plan rather than overextend himself. 51 126

He approaches conflict as a research problem: he records combat data, studies opponents' failures as carefully as their strengths, and delays dangerous ventures when their rewards do not justify the timing. 174 457 606

Although refined and courteous in formal settings, Locke can be ruthless toward enemies and exploit captives as experimental subjects. He nonetheless shows concern for students, allies, and even injured Dark Wizards when practical help is available. 238 660 1015

Story Role / Major Arcs

Aurelian Academy and Lilith's Cottage

Locke begins as a financially endangered noble student at Aurelian Academy, then leaves Corfu for Lilith's Cottage. There he shifts from a mediocre noble background into serious study, Botany research, potion production, and apprentice instruction. 1 28 126

Blood Curse Court Expedition

During the operation against the Blood Curse Court, Locke leads Albert and Sisyphus through Zone D, destroys a failed cursed creature using its creators' traps, and shows a ruthless combat style against Black Wizards. He later finds Tartarus Cave Worm Spinal Fluid, raising his Mana to 600 and his Magic Pressure to 700 with the Blackchain Sword Bamboo's boost. 238 242

Academic Recognition and Formal Wizardhood

Locke publishes six articles on Perseus's Eye Lichen and Bear Spirit Emerald Gallbladder Potion, putting himself on track for the Outstanding Apprentice title. After becoming a First-Ring Wizard, he converts his work into Association S-Class and Academy SS-Class articles, earning invention certification for several Magic Plants and potions. 177 329

Land of Six Towers and the Cloud Marsh Cup

Locke travels to the Land of Six Towers to treat a client for the Philayde Family and obtain the Druid's Ring. He defeats Gaul Philayde's attempted potion test, wins the Cloud Marsh Cup, and receives the Ring of the Scorpion Maiden and Primal Fire as rewards. 353 377 491

Golden Crown Mountain

At Golden Crown Mountain, Locke directs the Louis Underground Mine Research Institute, develops Great Magic, competes in Spell Fighting Tournament matches, and advances to the Second Ring. His development of Forest Sanctuary, Magic Plant combat systems, and wizard-shoe products expands both his research influence and commercial power. 391 607 754 822

Void Exploration and Star-Ring Conflicts

As a Star-Ring Wizard, Locke explores the Three-Cave World with Hassan and Old Henry, confronts foreign civilizations, gains the History Reenactment spell, and continues developing Ancestral Evolution projects. His growing reputation causes contestants and rival factions to treat him as a major threat, often exaggerating his power beyond its reality. 876 884 948 1030

Despair Valley and the Creation Green Lotus World

Locke opens the Despair Valley Laboratory through Abyssal power and publicly challenges the Star-Ring Wizards of Rain-Marsh Swamp. Within the Creation Green Lotus World, he and Probus share an incarnation, defeat Witch Macedon through traps and plant magic, and pursue the truth behind the Abyss Queen and Probus's past. 1068 1123

Locke later recognizes that his Pseudo-Forging: Minor Reform has failed to fulfill its intended prosperity because it became detached from faith in living beings. He resolves to reconstruct it and restore prosperity to the world. 1137

Notable Quotes

Trivia

• He initially believed his inherited dragon bloodline was the Golden Twin-Headed Dragon Bloodline before Grand Wizard Sura identified it as an unspecified high-grade Twin Bloodline of the True Dragon variety. 413 434
• His reputation becomes so distorted that rivals believe he is the reincarnation of a Third-Ring Wizard and possesses Magic Pressure near the Star-Ring limit, despite Locke denying that his Magic Pressure has even exceeded 21,000. 1030
