About Locus being Maine, Locus' voice DOES sound strange and rough. Also, Felix said he was a freelancer in season 11, so Locus may be as well. Maine and Wash did work for the Chairman in season 7 and 8, but there was no official "breaking off" from him by Maine.</i></div>
<p>As Felix explained he is a freelance soldier, a mercenary, not a Freelancer from the project (as if he was he would have been riddled with bullets by now). Also, Locus' voice is rough but it's closer to that of the stereotypical villain whereas Maine's voice was simply very deep and then non-existant after several bullet wounds to the throat (6 magnum shots) so even if Maine was Locus he would not be able to speak, also, using a voice modifyer would work... if he had a voice to begin with, so no, Maine is not Locus. Maine didn't officially leave the Chairman's workforce, he absorbed the last AI and used it to unofficially betray him before being given his severage package via pulled of cliff by two tun truck
