Glock is in need of more information! Glock is lacking a more detailed History (it may warrant a rewrite), Physical Description (under Physical appearance), and Quotes. Rremember to separate non-canon anime information from actual, accurate canon book information. |

Glock was one of the last remaining members of the Jalis tribe.
History
Glock participated in the defence of the Jalis lands alongside his brother, Gers, and the Jalis army, when the Shadow Lord invaded their lands. Glock was knocked out during the battle while the rest were either killed or taken to the Shadowlands.
The Shifting Sands
Glock participated in the Rithmere Games, becoming popular with the crowd for his ferocity in battle. He fought Joanna in the first finalists' fight and almost strangled her to death before Orwen stopped him. Later, he taunted Jasmine before the semi-finals when she refused her Queen Bee Cider, and drank the cider meant for her. However, Doom had drugged Jasmine's cider so he could fake defeat and use Glock to expose the Games' ties to the Shadow Lord.
Glock and Neridah were kidnapped by Grey Guards after the Games, but were freed by Doom. Both agreed to join the Resistance.
Dread Mountain
When Jasmine dreamt of Doom when using the water of the Dreaming Spring, she saw Glock and others in the Resistance stronghold.
Maze of the Beast
Glock confronted the companions when they brought Dain to the Resistance's Western Stronghold. He pestered Jasmine for a time, but stopped when Doom arrived.
Return to Del
Because he was giving the Resistance so much trouble, Glock was relocated to Withick Mire. He was chosen to represent the Jalis tribe, since he is the only pureblood Jalis left in Deltora. Upon their arrival in the Mire, he gives the companions Gripper Salve to heal the injuries they sustained from Grippers, though grumbles that it would be a waste on Barda, who was near dead.
He is the first to recover from Ichabod's attack, and describes the monster for Doom to identify. He went to Del to rescue Dain, and was captured alongside everyone else. He witnessed the completed Belt of Deltora shine for Lief and banish the Shadow Lord.
Cavern of The Fear
After Lief's coronation, Glock spent his time in the Palace. He obtained a Fighting Spider, whom he named Flash, and gambled against Jinks' spider several times. He wanted Lief to lead an army to the Shadowlands to rescue his people, offering to command it himself and growing frustrated by Lief's refusal. He boasted that his family talisman—a bag containing an old piece of wood, powerful herbs, and a Gripper flower, among other things—would protect him.
He stopped Jasmine on her way to the Os-Mine Hills so that he could accompany her to the Shadowlands. Both were captured by the Plume tribe and were to be sacrificed to The Fear. They were soon joined by Lief and Barda who had followed after them. The four convinced the Plumes to allow them the chance of killing The Fear; Glock boasting he could kill it with one arm behind his back.
When The Fear sent its tentacles forth to retrieve its offering, Glock struck it with his sword. The weapon shattered on the tentacle, and The Fear injured Glock's sword arm with its razor sharp hooks before tossing him aside. Lief, Barda, and Jasmine continued to fight, but were unmistakably outmatched. Glock managed to make it to The Fear's head and cut open its throat with his broken sword. Though he defeated The Fear singlehandedly, as he boasted he would, his injuries were severe. As he lay dying, Glock spoke to Jasmine one last time, telling her she had the heart of a Jalis. He instructed her to take his family talisman as her own. She complied, and he died asking Lief to tell the Jalis tribe of him once they were free. Glock was buried alongside the Pipers of the Plume Tribe.
Anime
Physical appearance
In the anime, Glock is depicted with many animalistic features, including pointed ears, fangs, claws, and arms completely covered in brown fur. Besides that, he had pale grey skin, black hair, and orange eyes.
Personality
Although often angry, dense, and ferocious, Glock did have a softer side, almost shedding tears when he renewed his tribe's oath to the heir of Deltora. Glock was actually quite smart and exhibits quick wit in battle. He was able to deduce the Fear's weakness in moments, as well as train his spider to defeat another of its kind. He held a grudge against Jasmine for her victory in the Rithmere Games, often calling her "weakling", much to her chagrin. However, he did recognize her fighting spirit, and became kinder to her, going so far as to tell her that she had the heart of a Jalis and giving her his family talisman.
In the anime, Glock was depicted as much wilder and aggressive than his book counterpart. He often fought without a weapon, preferring to use his hands and claws. He was also shown on several occasions to break wood with his mouth.
Abilities
A capable Jalis warrior, Glock was extremely strong. He had all the sword-fighting prowess of a Jalis knight, and was also skilled at unarmed combat, as shown in the Rithmere Games. As is typical of Jalis warriors, Glock had a large amount of stamina. He was the only Jalis to survive the attack that resulted in the deaths or captivity of his people. Glock demonstrated his combative knowledge when he figured out how to kill The Fear by finding its weak spot. He was able to slay The Fear despite the numerous injuries it gave him.
Legacy
Glock's greatest feat - killing The Fear - earned him great respect amongst the Plume tribe. They buried him in sacred ground of their Pipers.
After Lief, Barda and Jasmine encountered Glock's brother Gers, Jasmine gave the talisman to Gers in honor of Glock.
Trivia
- In Return to Del, Glock said he was the last of the Jalis, but in The Cavern of the Fear he was demanding to lead an army to save his people from the Shadowlands. Glock was probably informed about the Jalis in the Shadowlands, or else meant that he was the last of the Jalis in Deltora.
- Glock's statement that Jasmine has the "heart of a Jalis" may imply that she has some Jalis ancestry.
