Augustus Cole

Intro Private Augustus "Cole Train" Cole, also known as Gus or his Thrashball nickname "Cole Train", is a Gear in the COG Army and a former Thrashball player. Best known for playing with the Hanover Cougars as defensive lineman, Cole later joined the army as a Gear after his parents were killed by the Locust Horde on Emergence Day. His announcement of retiring from Thrashball and joining the war effort caused a massive spike in enlistments. During the majority of the Locust War, Cole fought alongside Cpl. Damon Baird. Cole rejected every military promotion that had been offered under the grounds that having rank was not going to affect how many Locust he could kill. As part of Delta-One, Cole became part of the most reliable squad of Gears available to the COG, fighting on the frontlines of every major operation near the end of the Locust War.
