## Biography

Lock was born on Eleint 9, 1178. He was raised in a rather neglectful orphanage where he was a quiet kid who kept to himself. He left the orphanage at the age of 17 and became a sailor, working on a merchant ship.

In 1202, Lock's ship was sabotaged, causing it to sink. Lock nearly drowned until he was struck with a vision from Serpensolt, detailing he could be saved with a magic pact. Lock agreed. When he rose to the surface, he swam ashore and stayed away from the sea for 5 years, trying to avoid the implications of the pact.

However, in 1207, Lock woke up on a deck of a ship with no memories of the past few days. He learned that he had purchased the ship and hired a crew, and was now operating as a pirate. He decided to continue the charade to learn more about his powers and patron, officially taking on the name "Tusktooth."

Two years later, Lock met Avantriel, another pirate captain and a warlock of Serpensolt. He joined her to learn more about his patron, but after learning she wanted to free Serpensolt to take over the sea, Lock decided that he couldn't let it happen. After a long battle with her, Lock killed Avantriel and fled to the shore once more.

Lock met the rest of the Mighty Nine in a tavern shortly after fleeing Avantriel's ship.

When Avantriel was raised as a revenant, she was obsessed with killing him.
