[edit] The Character

  • Name: McKenas Cole
  • Age/Birthdate: 35; December 30, 1965
  • Species: Human/Wanderer
    • Type: Well, see before the Rift? Cole had this box. And what was in that box were these needles that would basically make someone feel like someone “got a bunch of red jalapeños, stuck ‘em in a blender, and used ‘em for an enema” if they pierced the skin. Basically, Cole can pretty much make someone feel like they’ve just gotten poked by those needles just by touching them.

[edit] Appearance

McKenas Cole. Maybe not your worst nightmare, but close enough... Unless you're Sark. Then he's your worst nightmare.
McKenas Cole. Maybe not your worst nightmare, but close enough... Unless you're Sark. Then he's your worst nightmare.

Standing at a height of either 6'0 even or a little less with only a little muscle, Cole isn’t really built for intimidation, and half the time he doesn’t really try to look intimidating- he has other ways to scare people. He’s almost always grinning in a way that’s either overly cocky or maniacal and there’s something just a bit.... Off-kilter about him, which is to be expected, considering how off-kilter he kinda is. He has thick dark brown hair and that’s starting to recede just a bit prematurely and go a bit thin in certain places, kept short and very neat and usually never tousled, but things happen and he’s not so obsessive about it that he has to fix it every time it gets the slightest bit out of place. In all honestly, Cole pretty much looks like those dorky neighbors who are kinda nice and agreeable but are secretly axe-wielding psychos who chop up their families and bury them in their basement.

Cole would like you think he’s not that kind of psycho, but in a way... He kinda is.

[edit] Personality

For all practical purposes, Cole has all the personality of an overeager puppy or at least a mildly sadistic, overgrown child. He is generally giddy and very rarely completely serious unless someone has done something to tick him off severely and, because of this, it’s very hard for people to take him seriously. Usually, this doesn’t bother him, because he has ways of forcing people to take him seriously, which makes him overly cocky to the point that he almost thinks he’s unstoppable. He’s more than a little mentally unstable after being broken by Russian extremists and thus his behavior tends to be borderline unpredictable when it comes to violence and things that are made of sketch. Despite having a sadistic streak a mile long, however, Cole does have a soft spot for his teammates and tends to get pissy when people hurt them.

[edit] History

Once upon a time, Cole was “just a kid from Redondo Beach runnin’ black ops for Uncle Sam.” In all actuality, he was a freelancer working for what he assumed was the CIA, but was, in all actuality SD-6, a branch of the Alliance of Twelve, which was really a terrorist organization based in espionage, weapons sales, and the like. Cole, like most every other agent in the organization, was unaware of this.

During a mission to Chechnya to blow a pipeline, Cole and his team were captured by Russian extremists. If you ask Cole, it was because Arvin Sloane, head of SD-6 misinformed the team about the location of the extraction chopper, but, in reality, it was because Cole went back for a fallen teammate and essentially led his entire team to the slaughter.

After almost three months of agonizing torment, Cole watched every single one of his teammates get tortured to death and he would have been among them had the entire operation not been blown apart by Irina Derevko and her team. Cole quickly adopted her as his avenging angel and joined her organization, going from being what he thought was “one of the good guys” to being, for real, one of the “bad guys.” He excelled quickly, mostly by being smart and by being vicious and not taking anyone’s shit. The only person who could match him on sheer blind ambition and cocky attitude was Irina’s prized pet Julian Sark, who, at the time of Cole’s arrival, was only sixteen years old. After a few months of competing with the kid, however, Cole quickly put him in his place. You don’t need to know details. Just know that there is a reason Sark is utterly afraid of him. A good reason.

Five years later, Cole was trusted enough to partake in a mission that would finally drag Irina’s organization into the light and Cole eagerly accepted because it allowed him to finally seek revenge on Sloane for abandoning him (or so he believed) in Chechnya. He and his team successfully shut down SD-6 in order to obtain a Rambaldi artifact in the vaults and would have succeeded had it not been for those crazy kids and their dog.... Or, you know Sydney Bristow. She works too. Either way, Cole was taken into CIA custody and a few days later.... Fell through the Rift.

Technically speaking, Cole has been in the Rift world for at least nine months. After falling through, he fell in with a group of supernaturally-aware criminals who gave him the skinny on what had just happened and he eventually came to understand and accept this world as his new home, since the alternative was pretty sucky at this point. Through his ambition and the benefit of being able to torture people just by touching them, Cole advanced quickly (although quietly) through the ranks of the criminal underworld he’d fallen in with to eventually ascend to the head, where he remained, lurking and biding his time and not really getting involved in anything ever.

Until things started getting interesting, that is.
