Lokstok, was a fearsome Brute chieftain, during their war with the Covenant. He led several battles, masterminded sabotaging tactics, and would continue fighting the Covenant long after the war.

Childhood
Little is known of the Brute's younger years, besides that he towered over his siblings, and had killed two of his brothers by the time of his coming of age.

Chieftain
Soon after reaching adulthood, Lokstok challenged his father, Rokto, over leadership of the pack, calling his father too old and weak. Most of the younger Brutes sided with Lokstok, and a duel was decided to jugde dominance. Lokstok suffered a broken arm, his father though, had his neck and spine snapped.

Now in charge of his own pack, Lokstok led them into several fights with a nearby pack, who had set up a town called Glajaar. These fights were mostly over food.

The Covenant War
Brutes from across the Universe were summoned to join a huge conglomerate army to deal with the enroaching Covenant. Lokstok, eager for a fight, signed up his entire pack. This was too much for many of the older brutes, who left his pack, to live in the towns.

Lokstok proved himself a capable warrior to the officers, who watched his training sessions closely, and he was the only Brute from Warial, who was able to successfully complete the Training regime, without leaving a surviving "Covenant" training dummy.

Lokstok was placed in charge of the Homeworld protection division, and thus missed out of the first third of the war. But the Warial Campaigns saw him successfully sabotage a covenant supply of weapons and vehicles at the Landing At Sodantt Plateau, then defeat a small covenant army, burying them in the rubble of the plateau they were hiding on, at the 1st Battle of Corgrash. It was at the end of this battle that Lokstok managed to take a landed Covenant cruiser and claim it as his own, the Anger and Retaliation.

Hunter of the Ranked
With his new ship, Lokstok travelled through Covenant airspace, almost unnoticed, and the times he was, led to a few less Covenant.

Lokstok received orders to use this to his advantage and assassinate as many high-ranking Covenant as possible.

The Anger and Retaliation, would stalk other cruisers, wait for them to be alone, then force them through slipspace with the cruiser, and then crush them. Using these tactics Lokstok destroyed four cruisers, but supposedly yearned for a more exciting battle. So he landed on High Charity. In the underbelly of the planet, Lokstok found that one could still go virtually unoticed.

Lokstok soon found the landed cruiser of the Prophet of Community, and managed to travel through the well guarded ship, to find not only the Prophet of Community, but a whole meeting debating if to absorb the Brutes into the Covenant or not. (see Assassination of the Prophet of Community for more details)

Return to Warial
Lokstok was soon called back to aid in the defense of the city of Corgrash again, in the 2nd Battle Of Corgrash, but this battle was lost, and soon so was the entire defense on the moon.

Lokstok, who had been severly wounded in the battle, having a 2 foot metal pole lodged in his skull, was again called back, this time in the defense of the homeworld, Doisac.

Lokstok led a successful attempt to retake the city of Pertow, Battle of Pertow, but when he attempted to retake the city of Haggath, the battle was a miserable failure (Battle of Nlok' Rika).

Soon after the battle, the capital was taken, and the Brutes were assimilated into the Covenant.

Rebel
Lokstok still refused to admit defeat, and with the Anger and Retaliation, as well as a small crew still loyal to him, continues to hunt down high ranking Covenant.
