====Lockdown==== 

Lockdown is a mercenary renowned for his cruelty and his love of taking trophies from particularly worthy enemies he defeats, possessing an eclectic arsenal of weapons and equipment harvested across the galaxy.  A holy multimelta from a dreadnought, autocannons torn from an Imperial Knight, Soulstones taken from Eldar (he does enjoy their wailing as he takes them), power field generators ripped off the back of slain Big Meks, and all manner of personal weapons and modifications stolen from his fellow cybertronians are but a handful of the trophies he has taken to remind him of past victories, most startlingly of all, however, is an immense and brutal looking Chainaxe Lockdown claims to have taken from the bloodthirsty daemon primarch Angron during the great crusade after beating him half to death (the World Eaters, of course, claim that this is a lie and that both Gorefather and Gorechild are accounted for).  Rumour has it that he works closely with the Quintessons, working to advance their goals even as he takes contracts from various corners of the galaxy.   With a personal fleet headed by a flagship identified as an ancient Quintesson warship as well as a band of vicious Cybertronian or even organic mercenaries and cyberformed beasts, Lockdown has had millennia to hone his skills as a raider, a soldier of fortune, and an assassin.  

He is particularly skilled at taking powerful individuals alive as captives and has frequently taken contracts with the Dark Eldar to kidnap individuals that the Archons eagerly seek to torture, and has forged several pacts with the enigmatic Necron Phaeron Trazyn the Infinite to fuel their mutual fondness for collection.  He and Grimlock have a particular hatred of one another, Grimlock remembering his time in Lockdown's captivity well and believing that the bounty hunter might have some clue as to where his comrades went, or even have them in his possession.  For his part, Lockdown is willing to sell his services to any who can afford his steep price; and is lacking in Sixshot's sense of honour and fairness.  While perhaps lacking the six-changer's colossal firepower and raw durability, Lockdown has no qualms about utilizing underhanded tactics to get what he wants and while certainly very dangerous in close quarters; he is regarded as one of the best snipers in the galaxy; able to take down even cybertronians with just a single well placed shot from a great distance.
