Template:FFVI character Locke Cole is a fictional character in the SquareSoft game Final Fantasy VI. He is a thief, but to avoid any ill repute he refers to himself as a "treasure hunter." He was in love with a woman from Kohlingen named Rachel. However, during a treasure hunt, Rachel was injured and suffered from amnesia; she later has no idea who Locke is. Because of this, Rachel's father tells Locke to leave and never bother his daughter again. Locke, heartbroken and angry, does so, and during his absence, Kohlingen is attacked by the Empire. Rachel loses her life during the attack, but regains her memory before she dies. Her last word is Locke's name. Locke blames himself for her death and searches for a way of bringing Rachel back to life. Due to this guilt, he vows to protect Terra until her memory returns. When he rescues Celes in South Figaro, he swears to protect her as well. He is Edgar's contact with the Returners and introduces Terra to them.
His special skill is Steal, where he tries to steal an item from an enemy. Later in the game, you can equip him with a Thief Glove, which changes his Steal command into Capture. The Capture command steals from an enemy and also attacks it in the process.
Treasure hunter and trail-worn traveler, searching the world over for relics of the past...
