Choujin Locke
The story centers on Locke—that's his whole name, just Locke. Nobody really knows where he came from or what his full identity is, though the author apparently has some origin story locked away. It remains a mystery to readers and characters alike. Everything that happens in the narrative either involves him directly or stems from his actions in some way. At its core, the plot follows Locke as he gets pulled into conflicts against various forms of evil, whether human or something weirder. He doesn't always go looking for trouble—sometimes he stumbles into it, sometimes people ask for his help, and sometimes he finds he has to oppose the very people asking. His conscience tends to make his decisions for him. But as you keep reading, the scope becomes clearer. This is actually a chronicle of human civilization across the future. Locke serves as our window into how humanity evolves, spreads across space, discovers new worlds, colonizes, fights, and tears itself apart. He's essentially a witness to everything—but more than that, he's driven by an unwavering need to do what's right. Through him, we're watching the whole sweep of human history unfold.
