Locus (Red vs. Blue)

"Just so you're aware, no-one's gonna find your ship either."

- Locus to a pilot before executing him

Locus is a mercenary who intends to kidnap the Reds and Blues for the Federal Army of Chorus and prevent anyone to help them escape. He serves as the main antagonist of Season 11.

Hunting the Reds and Blues
When the planet Chorus went into a civil war between the New Republic and the Federal Army of Chorus, Locus joined the Federal Army of Chorus and became a well known threat to those siding with the New Republic, such as Felix, a mercenary he seems to have a rivalry with. Upon learning that the Reds and Blues, which many believed to be some of the greatest military soldiers in the galaxy, crash landed on Chorus, he intended to kidnap them and have them use their skills for his superiors.

Locus discovers Washington's call for help after the Reds and Blues are left stranded in an unknown location, but he doesn't respond. Locus later arrives at the teams' location and begins spying on them. When a feud between the Reds and Blues ends and they attack their "rescue team", he remarks the situation as unfortunate before cloaking himself. Later on, Locus kills the pilot that dropped off Doc, Donut, and Lopez and reports in to 'Control', stating that his objective is complete and that he's returning to Crash Site Bravo.

Back at the crash site, Locus once again spies on the teams, but soon turns his sights on Felix. When the latter notices him, Locus activates his cloaking and returns to a control camp filled with white-clad soldiers. He gathers four of them back to Crash Site Bravo, where they proceed to attack the Blues. Unfortunately, his men are killed by Tucker and Freckles. Locus (while cloaking) then attempts to shoot Wash in the head, but Felix appears and blocks the blow with a Hardlight Shield. Locus then shoots Felix in the leg and orders the Reds and Blues to come with him, believing that they are the 'real deal' after dealing with his men, but they refuse. After Locus threatens them, Wash orders Freckles to fire upon Locus, but the latter disappears before being hit.

Battle at Crash Site Bravo
Afterwards, Locus returns to the crash site, accompanied by many more Federal soldiers, and engages the Reds and Blues. During the battle, Locus cloaks himself before using a sticky grenade to destroy the Blue Team's tank. When Simmons and Washington try to restore Freckles' power, Locus fires at a plasma grenade behind Donut, knocking the latter unconscious. As the Reds and Blues become confident they will win the battle, Locus fires several blasts from his Railgun towards Washington and Sarge, rendering them inactive. However, before he can capture them, Felix's backup arrives and assists the teams.

Near the battle's conclusion, he attempts to stop Felix, Simmons, Grif, Tucker, and Caboose from escaping into the caves, but fails when Wash has Freckles seal off the entrance by collapsing the tunnels roof. However, he manages to incapacitate Washington. After the battle, Locus communicates with a superior (soon revealed to be Carolina), whose voice is distorted, and informs her about a crate he recovered. He then suggests that he execute a captured Sarge, Donut, and Washington, but Carolina challenges him, asking if he feels threatened by them. When he responds negatively, Carolina reaffirms for him to obey orders before stating that she would see him soon.

Personality
Locus is portrayed as a quiet and cold individual who is shown to be serious about his objectives. According to Felix, Locus is so far off the deep end he prefers to go by the name of his armor instead of the name he was born with. Locus also seems to enjoy his occupation and is quite sadistic, as he treats his attack on the Reds and Blues with amusement and makes a morbid joke when he kills the pilot. He also remorselessly sent a team of four soldiers to their deaths just to test the Reds and Blues.

Despite this, he's shown to have respect to those he considers the "real deal," like the Reds and Blues. Locus is also cunning, as he's shown to outsmart several characters. Along with this, Locus is quite perceptive, such as in Lost But Not Forgotten, he clearly becomes suspicious of his "superior" when the latter orders him to not execute the captured Reds and Blues. However, his cruelty, dark tone, and skills show that he should be considered a deadly threat to everyone.

Weaponry
Locus has been shown to have skills with several weapons. His skills with the sniper rifle are superb, as he would have killed Washington if Felix didn't interfere and snipes a plasma grenade near Donut to injure him. In Fire, Locus is shown to use the Railgun very effectively, as he quickly incapacitates Washington and Sarge with it. Along with this, Locus has been seen to use a shotgun, pistol, SAW, and sticky grenades quite decently.

Combat
Locus appears to be a deadly combatant. He's responsible for incapacitating most members of the Reds and Blues during the battle at the crash site and is shown to be skilled in close range combat, as he executes two rebel soldiers as he approaches the remaining members of the Blood Gulch teams. Along with this, he uses cloaking effectively, as he was not only able to spy on the Reds and Blues, but also escape the teams without a trace using the enhancement in several instances. It also seems many within the New Republic fear him, as when Felix mentions Locus to 'Headquarters', the operator is clearly scared.
