Appearance

Cole is a man of severe angles and sun-scorched skin. His face is mapped with scars from desert skirmishes, most notably a jagged line across his cheekbone. His dark green eyes are constantly in motion, scanning horizons with predatory focus. He wears dust-colored tactical gear with the seal of Ripley's Syndicate discreetly etched into his belt buckle. His movements are efficient and low to the ground.

Mannerisms

Cole speaks in a deep, measured monotone and has a habit of slightly squinting his left eye as if constantly calculating a shot.

Personality

Calculated and remarkably quiet, Cole treats life like a single long mission. He does not speak unless he has information to convey, and he lacks the bravado typical of other Syndicate enforcers. He finds peace in the maintenance of his rifle and the mathematical certainty of ballistics. While he can be ruthless, it is never personal. It is simply work.

Ideals

Efficiency. There is no problem that cannot be solved with a well-placed round and a calm breath.

Bonds

My brother Brandon is the only person who still sees me as a man rather than a weapon. I will do anything to keep him safe.

Flaws

I am so used to seeing the world through a scope that I struggle to trust anything I cannot view from a distance.

Quirks

Constantly checks the wind speed by dropping a pinch of sand.
Polishes his rifle casings when he is stressed.
Refuses to sit with his back to any door or window.

Background

A former Ranger in the Army of Desertstone, Cole Matthews spent decades patrolling the shifting sands. His precision was legendary, but after a corrupt commander sold his unit out during a border dispute in Zahra-Nur, Cole was the only one left standing. Wandering the desert as a ghost, he was found and recruited by Ripley, the matriarch of the region's most powerful Syndicate. Now, he serves as her elite enforcer, the shadow that removes obstacles from a thousand yards away. Through the chaos of the criminal underworld, Cole remains anchored by his brother, Brandon. While Cole operates in the blood and sand, he uses his Syndicate earnings to ensure Brandon remains far from the life of an enforcer. He is a man who has lost his country but found a grim purpose in the service of the Syndicate, knowing that in the desert, you are either the predator or the prey.
