Gorgone Locke

Gorgone Locke was House Glaw’s enforcer and torturer on Gudrun, later dragged through Damask and KCX-1288 in the cabal’s wake. He answered to Pontius Glaw’s heirs, inheritors of a noble bloodline whose fortune had curdled into Chaos worship and xenos trafficking, and his talents were turned on anyone the family needed silenced or broken.

Locke’s craft was pain and intimidation rather than scholarship or sorcery: he extracted confessions and locations from captives so the Glaw cabal could stay ahead of Imperial pursuit. That pursuit was led by Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn, working alongside the rival Inquisitor Commodus Voke, as both burned through the manor networks and hidden vaults the Glaws had built on Gudrun. The prize driving the chase was the Necroteuch, a proscribed text the family had acquired through its xenos contacts, and Locke’s role shifted from torturer-in-residence to a fugitive asset shepherded from world to world as the hunt closed in.

That flight carried him first to Damask, then onward to KCX-1288, a world bound up with the alien Saruthi, where the remnants of House Glaw’s cabal sought refuge beyond Imperial reach. Locke was never the architect of the family’s heresy; accounts place him firmly in service to it, a weapon wielded by Pontius Glaw’s heirs rather than a plotter in his own right, and his presence on these increasingly distant worlds marks how far the cabal’s reach had stretched before it broke.

Locke’s end came amid the collapse on KCX-1288, where the unravelling of the Saruthi presence there consumed him along with the last of the Glaw cabal’s momentum. Gudrun still remembers the torturer’s name beside the wider Glaw purge, the campaign Eisenhorn and Voke pursued to its conclusion rather than leave unfinished, and Locke’s fate stands as the closing note of a hunt that began in his torture chambers and ended far beyond the world he once served.
