Locke (Earth-5125)

"No one is going to die today, you are under my lead. In my lead, no life is expended, not without a purpose. We will take our world back, and drive our enemy into the grave they're so happily digging. Today we face the APOCALYPSE!"

Naturally born in the Ark as opposed to many of his fellow humans that grew in the Matrix, Locke's unfamiliarity with the alternate reality grounds his views to using any and all resources available to win humanity's war against the AIs. His odds extend to that of Holm's, as he is seen with antagonism by all of the Council of Zion.
