Locria did not willingly betray the Magypsies, but was instead kidnapped and brainwashed by Porky, like the rest of his army, and corrupted into Fassad. This transformation led to Locatoria’s actions being controlled by Porky, ultimately resulting in the betrayal of the Magypsies, who were mystical, androgynous human-like beings existing to protect the Seven Needles on the Nowhere Islands.
