"Caesar’s lean and hungry friends. They eat the dark, who only stand and breathe."

FAMILY: Shock Hallows (sister, older), Barrel Hallows (brother, younger) HISTORY: If Lock existed before Halloweentown, he has no memory of it. The place was practically eternal, and so were they, although he vaguely remembered a time before Barrel, and Shock vaguely remembered a time before both of them. They were all still young by Halloweentown standards, too young to remember a time when Jack Skellington hadn't been the Pumpkin King, too young to remember the original boogeyman, except in stories.

All they knew was Oogie, who was keen to collect them for their abilities. Lock's was a reflection of his imp mask, a silvered tongue capable of persuading humans and others without much magic to do just about anything. He never had any qualms about using his power for his own whims, but never on his chosen siblings. Shock's power nullified others anyway, and Barrel... if anyone in Halloweentown was too sweet to manipulate, it was his baby-faced little brother, shepherd to the dead.

Jack got them out when the world started to go dark, but it took Lock a long time to feel grateful for it. Their magic barely worked in Fableton, and they were practically human. He didn't trouble himself to hide his bitterness, and he resisted Jack's "leadership" in every way possible. The only comfort was that he had his siblings, and there were other like-minded people around. He knew Hades hired him to make use of his talent (what was left of it--a whisper in an ear, a subtle nudge in the worst direction), but that was fine. Unlike with Oogie, at least he was getting paid for it.
