Method of Murder/Specialty: The Locke Family’s agents are, quite simply, Manchurian candidates. They practice a particular brand of psionic surgery on willing initiates, enlisting them into specific duties, often a first job, with more surgeries to come for more jobs. Then they suppress the memory of their orders and set a code phrase or trigger to “activate” an agent. Their kills are done in a fugue and a burst of realization of what must be done, as the agent wakes up, then knows to report to their Handler for debriefing. 

Organizational Structure: Locke Family agents are overseen by a Handler, who often has several Agents within their “care”. Handlers tend to become rather close with their charges, as they oversee the psionic surgery, a very intimate act that lays bare the mind and past of the one undergoing it for the Locke Family to scrutinize and alter. Above them are the Board, a mysterious group of Handlers of the lower ranking Handlers. 

Visuals: Nondescript, often no change from before they joined Murder Inc and the family.

Regional Goals: Place sleeper agents within prominent institutions, following the guidance of the Adherents, prepare for regional destabilization and needed corrections if it occurs.

Induction Qualifications and Rites: To enter the Locke Family, one undergoes their first psionic memory manipulation surgery. To exit, the memories are severed of one’s time with the family.

CvC or CvE focus: CvE and flagged for CvC, Locke Family members do not generally get to choose their targets, including other townsfolk. (This is on an IG level, on an OOG level you will not be forced into CvC, though being involved with this Family may flag you by association based on other LCs engagement and actions.)
