| − | '''Cole MacGrath''' was a simple bike messenger who was delivering a package for someone to somewhere in the [[Historic District]] of [[Empire City]]. In the midst of his delivery however, his package exploded, destroying half the city and killing millions.

||
| − | Four years back, before his time in [[Empire City]], Cole practiced learning parkour with his best friend [[Zeke Dunbar]] in the city of [[New Marais]], where the cops had their hands full. Cole mentioned during a conversation with [[Moya]] that he took part in urban exploration in Empire City, which is the reason why he is able to navigate through the city's sewer system with little trouble. Several remarks by [[Kessler]] suggest that his mother detested Cole's job, often telling her friends that Cole was a school teacher rather than a bike messenger. Kessler also said that Cole's father approved of his relationship with [[Trish Dailey]], commenting that she was like "the daughter he never had"<ref name="inFamous" />. Stated in a conversation with [[Nix]], Cole had a little brother, though he hasn't talked to him in a while. Cole's education was something he decided on his own, dropping out of College and getting a job as a bike courier, mostly just to disappoint his parents<ref name="inFamous 2"> ''inFamous 2'' </ref>. |
||
| + | ==Biografie== |
||
| − | Before he met Trish, Cole was involved in an accident where he got run over by a freight truck, an accident that should have killed him. However, he was able to get back up after a few days, only suffering some minor injuries from the accident. Only Zeke knew the full story of the accident, while Cole only told Trish a fragment of the supposed story after he met her, to make it seem like it wasn't something serious. |
||
| + | ===Vor der Explosion=== |
||
| + | Vier Jahre zurück, vor seiner Zeit in Empire City, praktiziert Cole das Lernen vom Parkour mit seinem besten Freund [[Zeke Dunbar|Zeke]] in der Stadt New Marais, wo die Polizisten alle Hände voll zu tun haben. Cole erwähnt in einem Gespräch mit Moya, dass er Schuld war mit der Explosion in Empire City, das ist der Grund, warum er in der Lage ist, um durch die Stadt der Kanalisation mit wenig Mühe zu navigieren. Mehrere Ausführungen von [[Kessler]] vorgeschlagen, dass seine Mutter Cole verabscheute die Aufgabe hat, die oft von ihren Freunden erzählt wird, dass Cole ein Lehrer eher als ein Fahrradkurier war. Kessler sagte auch, dass Coles Vater von seiner Beziehung mit [[Trish Daley]] genehmigt und kommentiert hat, das sie wie "die Tocher, die er noch nie gehabt hatte" sei. In einem Gespräch mit [[Nix]] hatte er gesagt, das Cole einen kleinen Bruder hatte, obwohl er nicht gesprochen hat für eine Weile mit ihm. Coles Ausbildung war etwas, das er auf seinem eigenen Willen beschlossen hatte, aus der Schule fall und einen Job als Fahrradkurier bekommen hatte, "meist nur um seine Eltern zu ärgern". |

+ | ====Tag der Explosion:==== |
| + | Cole hat einen Auftrag bekommen. Er sollte ein Paket in das historische Viertel bringen (später wird gesagt, dass Cole den Job am liebsten gar nicht angenommen hätte). Als er am Parkhaus stand, wurde er angerufen. Eine unbekannte Stimme sagte ihm, er solle das Paket öffnen. Als Cole dies tat, explodierte das Paket. In dem Paket war die [[Strahlenkugel]], welche ihm auf Kosten tausender Leben seine Kräfte gab. |
||
| − | On the job as a bike messenger, Cole was assigned to deliver a package to someone located in the [[Historic District]] of [[Empire City]]. After receiving a phone call from his boss, Cole made his way to the intersection of 19th and Sloat. He meets up with a woman, telling him he's got the wrong address. Immediately after, the courier receives a call from Kessler to open the package. Cole refuses, but after Kessler offered $500 for opening the package, Cole did as he was told. The package revealed the [[Ray Sphere]], which immediately activated, resulting in a devastating explosion that destroyed several blocks of the Historic District, and killing a large group of civilians, due to their energy being concentrated into Cole. The aftermath was a city-wide blackout, the deaths of thousands, and the formation of a crater now known as [[Ground Zero]] in the Historic District, with Cole at the very center.<ref name="inFamous" /> |

||
| − | Shortly after the explosion, a weakened Cole was awakened by a chopper looking for survivors. Instructed to meet up at the evacuation area, Cole slowly made his way there. On his way to the evacuation area, Cole showed several signs of electrokinesis, absorbing energy from a nearby power source, and also calling forth a [[Lightning Storm|bolt of lighting from the sky]]. After slowly making his way to the other side of the devastated bridge connecting the Historic District to the [[Neon District|Neon]], Cole succumbed to his injuries, and fainted. Cole was then brought to the hospital by his girlfriend, [[Trish Dailey]]<ref name="inFamous" />. |

Als er an der Brücke zum [[Neonviertel]] ankommt, bricht er zusammen. Daraufhin erscheinen überall Blitze, die alles in der Nähe zerstören. Cole muss ins Krankenhaus, wo er behandelt wird. Als er erwacht, ist die Stadt in Trümmern. Jedoch hat er nun Fähigkeiten, die es ihm ermöglichen, die Stadt zu retten, oder zu zerstören. |

||
| − | {{Quote|With time, I'm learning to control it ... master it. Just hope it's not too late|Cole MacGrath, regarding his powers.<ref name="inFamous" />}} |
||
| − | As Cole lay on a hospital bed, Empire City started falling apart. Right after the blast, the city fell apart. A plague struck the city, followed by consecutive crimes committed by numerous citizens such as theft, rioting, and rape. As an attempt by the government to contain the biological threat, they issued a quarantine, locking down access in and out of |

| − | [[File:Trish-Cole-Zeke.png|thumb|left|250px|Cole, being nursed back to health.]] |
||
| − | 4 days later, as the city fell apart, Cole woke up from his coma. He immediately discovered his [[Powers|new found powers]], along with Trish. Frightened at first, Cole eventually learned how to control it. He first tries his powers at a nearby dumpster, and then uses it as part of Zeke's idea of making a business out of charging dead batteries for food, though it backfired as the civilians were more frightened than enthusiastic.<ref name="inFamous Post Blast"> ''inFamous Post Blast'' </ref> After Zeke barricaded and protected his roof, Cole practiced honing his powers there, using the mannequins littered all over the area as targets, and also charging the fuse box for Zeke's TV located nearby. As they watched TV, the so called "[[Voice of Survival]]" jacked the cable, informing citizens that the government's sending in supplies for them to eat at the nearby park. Hearing this, Cole and Zeke quickly made their way to the park after Zeke fetched his gun. Using Cole's skills in parkour, and his electrokinesis, Cole retrieved the food<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| + | Cole lernt schnell wie er seine Kräfte nutzen kann. |
||
| − | After an encounter with the [[Reapers]], and reuniting with Trish, the Voice of Survival spoke out again, this time calling out Cole. The jacker showed footage of Cole at Ground Zero, delivering the package, then declaring Cole as a terrorist. Claiming Cole is dangerous, civilians started to detest his presence, giving him suggestive looks and seemed like they were about to start a fight<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| + | [[en:Cole MacGrath]] |
||
| − | As Trish left the area, with Cole subsequently claiming that their relationship was over, Zeke and Cole planned an escape out of the quarantine. Meeting up at the bridge out of the city, Cole and Zeke led a civilian force through the police checkpoints, with Cole taking down the police force. After several checkpoints, Cole, Zeke, and the civilians nearly broke free, only to be stopped by a wall of mounted machine guns protected by a thick barricade and razor wire. As the civilians were assaulted, Zeke burst through the nearby gate, falling into the harbor. Cole followed, jumping out of the way Zeke made and into a nearby decontamination chamber<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | After the door behind him closed, Cole was greeted by name. The voice introduced herself as [[Moya]], an FBI agent who saw the footage of Cole at Ground Zero. Stating that she was waiting for him, Moya told Cole that right before the Blast, her husband [[John White]] was assigned to infiltrate the [[First Sons]], a secret group connected with the [[Ray Sphere]], the package that gave Cole his powers. Losing her connection with John the night of the Blast, Moya made an offer to Cole: to help her find John and the Ray Sphere, in exchange for his freedom, and Cole's name cleared<ref name="inFamous" />. |

Cole also helped out a local makeshift hospital, and also gained new powers after reestablishing a part of the city's power, after a Reaper wiped out the local Power Plant<ref name="inFamous" />. |

| − | After restoring power to another part of the district, Cole got word from Moya that the Reapers' were contaminating the water line with a strange [[Black Tar|tar]] that acts as a control agent, and also a hallucinogen. Cole turned off the valve which resulted in getting his face splattered with the substance. After Trish helped remove the tar with a solvent (and after some partial hallucinations, including hearing voices from an [[Sasha|unidentified woman]]), Cole searched for the other valves and turned them off as well. After the valves, Moya told him of the only remaining water source was below a tunnel, and after reaching the end of the tunnel, saw a armored water truck filled with the tar, being run by the Reapers. After its destruction, Cole returned to Zeke's house and called it a night<ref name="inFamous" />. |

| − | Waking up, Moya tasked Cole with restoring another substation. After doing so, he was then tasked into freeing a group of local civilians in the district's train, as she speculated that John might be inside. Cole fended off the Reapers protecting the area and restored power to the train railings. Using his body's electric energy, Cole charges the frontal car of the train, which made it move. Taking out more Reapers as he stood at the top of the front car, while also reestablishing the electricity of the other parts of the railings, Cole was able to bring the train at the next train station, where several civilians were waiting for its arrival. As Cole destroyed the side doors, the civilians went out, meeting up with their loved ones. As they left, Cole looked around to see if John was among them. After all of the civilians left, John was nowhere to be seen. Cole then leaves the area to continue the search<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | Following the rescue, more of the tar-induced water began to appear around the district, causing many to become ill. As Cole investigated one part of the area, he found Trish taking care of the sick civilians. Asking Cole why there are still poisonous water, Cole simply did not know. Just then, Moya informed Cole that the water towers are the only remaining water source in the area. Cole investigated the rooftops and found out that the Reapers have attached this metal keg, pumping in the black tar into the water main. After the initial destruction of the first keg, Cole subsequently destroyed the other kegs in his preferred manner, causing it to interfere with his powers and senses<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | As the last keg was destroyed, a [[Kessler|mysterious man]] appeared from out of nowhere, mentioning that someone was going to be irritated by the situation. Cole asked for the man's identity, however, he did not answer, before leaping towards Cole. The man dug his fingers into Cole's head, telepathically showing him visions of various scenarios filled with carnage and death, an alternate future. As the man released Cole, he figured that the mysterious stranger was responsible, and somehow the Ray Sphere was involved. However, as Cole slowly stood himself up, the man had disappeared. After a quick look at his surroundings, Cole left the area<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| − | |||
| − | While restoring another part of the city's [[Substations|substations]], Moya informed Cole of the Reaper's leader, a woman known as [[Sasha]]. She was originally a member of the [[First Sons]] that help skyrocket the research development, but left some time after. Moya tasked Cole with eliminating Sasha, to both stop the tar contamination from continuing, and also to learn more about the Ray Sphere. After helping Trish retrieve some medical supplies, Cole was then tasked by Moya to deal with Sasha, after Moya found the [[Reaper Compound]]<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | Attacking the Reaper fortress from within, Cole took out the Reapers that stood in his way. As he did though, he began having more hallucinations, with Sasha mocking him. He eventually took out the Reapers in the car tunnel, and to his discovery, he found several civilian condemned in cages, being bathed in the black tar, forcing them to become Reapers, allowing themselves to be controlled by Sasha<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Cole-Making-Sasha-Talk.png|thumb|250px|Cole, about to make Sasha talk.]] |
||
| − | Freeing the prisoners, Cole proceeded to deal with Sasha. When the Reaper spoke to him again, she called out Kessler, and expressing a deep loathing for the man. Cole then arrived at the very end of the tunnel, with Sasha lying in wait. With the black tar surrounding them, the two fought. As they did, Sasha constantly taunted Cole, with demented insults regarding various aspects of Cole. After a long fight, Sasha was defeated and fell to the floor. As Cole stood before her, she demanded Cole to look at her, and claimed that Cole can't control his powers, it will control him instead. As Cole heard these words, he remembered his primary purpose there, which was to extort information about the First Sons and the Ray Sphere from Sasha<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, as Cole grabbed her, the blockage behind the other end of the tunnel suddenly collapsed, with large debris falling behind Cole. Cole was pinned by the rubble, unable to take action. However, he saw Sasha being dragged away by masked men, commenting that their actions were professional like. As the whole area began to collapse, Cole managed to get himself out of the Debris. With no way back into the Neon, he went forward, and into the slums of the [[Warren District|Warren]]<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | Barely escaping the Neon district and retreating to the Warren, Cole informed Moya of his location. Seeing as the power also cut off, Cole immediately went to the nearest substation. As he explored the sewers, Moya informed Cole of the [[Dust Men]], a group consisting of some of the homeless people that inhabited the Warren, and eventually banded together and seized control of the entire area. Restoring power to the substation, Cole arrived above surface and went his way.<ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | After restoring power, Cole got a call from Zeke, asking if he can do a favor for him to find their acquaintance [[Dwight]]. After that, he received another call, this time from Trish. She mentioned that she needs help getting some of the civilians over at the [[Bayview Hospital]] due to the current clinic at the Neon being crowded. She told Cole of [[Roger Miller]], who was supposedly in [[Valentine Park]]. Cole finished up the business with Dwight (which ended with Cole dealing with the [[Armored Conduit]] that killed Dwight), and after that, he went on to do Trish's favor.<ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole went to the park and found Roger hostage. Taking out the Dust Men, Cole went to tell Roger Miller of Trish's favor. After that, the two went to the [[Stone Canal Bridge]] and tried to lower it, which only ended halfway. Roger contacted his fellow engineer [[Lou]], but was being held by Reapers at [[Memorial Park]]. Cole went to the park and took care of the Reapers. After that, he escorted Lou to the side of the bridge and protected him as he worked. After an ample amount of time, the two engineers were able to lower the bridge, with help from Cole.<ref name="inFamous" /> |

| − | After a long sleep, Cole went to the next substation at the Warren and restored power. After that, he was tasked by Moya to retrieve logs from [[UAV]]s deployed by the First Sons. As he did, he was contacted by [[Kessler]], the leader of the First Sons, and also the one who showed Cole the horrible visions. He's heard torturing Sasha, and also mocking Cole about his current stature. Cole told him off as Kessler continued. After retrieving the last of the UAV's data, Cole sent them to Moya via a satellite uplink. Cole's next assignment was to rescue several hostages held by the Dust Men at boats by the harbor, hindering them from eliminate the quarantine and, in the process, hindering them an indirect green light to the Military to bombard Empire City. Also, Moya advised Cole to stick with the orders given by her, which she claims to be the best course of action.<ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Passing by the shipyards, Cole was called out by an [[Alden Tate|elderly voice]]. He exclaimed that the Dust Men have taken Zeke hostage, and will kill him slowly. As Moya protested, telling Cole to leave Zeke to his fate, Cole made it clear he doesn't abandon friends. Zeke was rescued, and Cole reprimanded him because of ignoring the troubles and dangers of wandering off alone. Zeke interpreted it as Cole saying that Zeke's just a liability. Cole told him that it wasn't a game anymore, and Zeke left, mad at Cole.<ref name="inFamous" /> |

| − | After Trish was finished preparing her patients for transport, Cole returned to the Neon to help escort her bus. Eventually, they closed into the [[Bayview Hospital]], but as they neared, an elderly man appeared at the hospital front, with one of his servants firing a rocket-propelled grenade at him. As Cole was pushed off of the bus, the old man, identified by Moya as [[Alden Tate]], supposed leader of the First Sons, lifted the bus using [[telekinesis]] and threw it on the hospital roof. Cole immediately rushed to the hospital roof in order to save Trish and her patients, which he did. After this, Cole rested at the hospital.<ref name="inFamous" /> |

||
| − | After resting at the Bayview hospital, Cole was tasked to help the [[Empire City Police|ECPD]]'s 43rd Precinct in arresting Alden Tate. The police have declared an all out war with the Dust Men and wishes Cole to assist them. After settling the armored bus attacks by the transients, Cole went to the supposed rendezvous point with the police, but found only the body of a police officer. Using his powers, Cole was able to track down an echo sent off by the officer's residual energy, able to see a recent effigy of Alden. Cole then tracks the echo, which lead him to the infamous shanty town nicknamed "[[Tent City]]".<ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole made his way through the make-shift town, fending off the incoming transients as he made his way through. After navigating to the very top-most part of the town while following Alden's echo, Cole managed to make his way to the open terrace leading into the [[Alden's Tower|transient's tower]]. As Cole was about to make his way there, the only path leading to it was barricaded by fire, and was guarded by a [[Golem Conduit]]. Despite the supposed disadvantage, Cole managed to overcome the conduit, though by the time he did, the police have already arrested Alden, and were moving him to [[Eagle Point Penitentiary]] for the FBI to extract him. Cole immediately left the area to go meet up at the facility. |

After a successful defense, the facility was attacked by a large group of transients. As Cole and the cops fended them off, the generator holding Alden's power back ran out of power, due to some transients' meddling with it on the roof. Cole dealt with them and immediately returned to the open field and help the cops defend the facility.<ref name="inFamous" /> |

| − | After a short while, Zeke suddenly came out of Alden's block, joining in the fray. Infuriated, Cole asked what was he doing outside and not with Alden. Zeke answered that the guards will be fine without him, due to him being restrained. Cole hurriedly went to the block and checked on Alden, but saw that it was too late. The block was littered with the bodies of officers, and Alden's restraining tools unlocked. Zeke felt very guilty for his actions and immediately left the facility. That night, the Dust Men celebrated their victory at their shanty town, as Alden makes plans atop his tower once again.<ref name="inFamous" /> |

||
| − | After taking a brief rest at the Bayview Hospital, and after a tirade from Moya regarding Alden's escape, Cole ran to the next substation and restored all the power of the Warren. After rising above surface, Cole was contacted by [[John White]], whom told him to meet up with him at the old [[Adamson Building]]. After Cole informed Moya of this (which Moya was unable to intercept due to John disrupting his own signal), Cole went to the building and meet up with John.<ref name="inFamous" /> |

Fearing the worst due to his paranoia, John fled before the team could explain themselves. Cole thought that it was Moya's personnel, but she later confirmed that it wasn't hers. She then tasked Cole with following the chopper in case they were the First Sons and after John. Cole immediately left the area in order to intercept John, and by the time he got there, the chopper was destroyed by a powerful [[Golem Conduit]]. As John hid himself, Cole dealt with the conduit and succeeded<ref name="inFamous" />. |

As Cole tried to look for John, he was then called by John himself, whom was counting every second they talked so he wouldn't be tracked down exposed to the government. John told Cole that the Ray Sphere was in the possession of the transients and hid the sphere at the very top of [[Alden's Tower|their tower]]. He was told to bring a friend over to assist him, nothing more, nothing less. Just right after that, Cole asked what he should tell Moya about the situation. John did not know any one named Moya, and especially not anyone connected to the FBI (since Cole mentioned she was with them). Ending the conversation then and there, Cole headed out to the foot of the tower's terrace and called Zeke, asking him to meet up. After a very brief argument, Cole was able to convince Zeke to come<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | After Zeke arrived, the two worked they way up, with Cole scaling large parts of the tower, while Zeke was assisted by Cole to rise up through the use of a make-shift elevator designed by the transients. After a thorough walk, Cole was able to arrive at the very top of the tower. Cole and Zeke then saw Alden Tate, inside a metalic mirror pod with the Ray Sphere attached to the front. With this, Cole charged through the transients while Zeke hid and prepared himself to steal the device. After Cole's dealt with the conduits, Zeke tried to yank the sphere out of its cradle and succeeded.<ref name="inFamous" /> |

| − | [[File:Deal With The Devil.png|thumb|250px|Kessler makes Zeke an offer.]] |
||
| − | Just then, Zeke was trapped between Alden and Kessler. Cole watched as he just stood there, and slowly realized that the key to make his dreams a reality is in between his hands. After that, Zeke activated the Ray Sphere, sending forth a powerful wave of energy coming out of the sphere, breaching the very ends of the building on where they are. But, as the field widened, Zeke and the others were dumbfounded when the sphere didn't work, as the field shortened out and disappeared. Thinking quickly, Kessler told Zeke that he knew what was wrong and that he'll help Zeke with the powers he wanted, so long as Zeke now answers to him. Zeke, looking at Cole's eyes one last time, went with Kessler and fled the tower via Kessler's chopper. Alden was enraged and nearly tore his tower apart, as Cole stood below falling debris, dumbfounded and numb. After waking up, Cole was still at the tower, only this time desolated of anything but debris<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | John called Cole after the failed attempt of stealing the Ray Sphere, furious about what happened. Cole told him that Zeke was the only one he could have trusted, but his trust obviously backfired at him. John told him that Kessler was now at the [[Historic District]] and Alden was on a rampage on his way there. Cole was tasked with stopping him before things escalate any further. Arriving at the bridge, Cole made his way through the debris and fog<ref name="inFamous" />. |

| − | [[File:Cole Defeats Alden.png|thumb|250px|Cole defeats Alden Tate.]] |
||
| − | Dealing with the Dust Men around the bridge, and also negating Moya's calls, Cole managed to make his way at the near end of the bridge, where Alden, covered in a make-shift metal hide that forms a monstrous armor, made his last stand to combat Cole MacGrath. Despite the supposed size advantage and morale of Alden and his make-shift [[Scrap Crabs|metal monsters]], Cole managed to destroy the scrap metal hide of Alden, and subdued him there. Cole immediately grabbed Alden and attempted to finish him off<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Alden, fearing for his life, changed his tone with Cole, stating that he wanted to work with him in subjugating Kessler and the First Sons. Cole listened to his reasoning, and the moment that he lowered his guard, Alden jumped down from the bridge, falling into the water. Since he was a [[Conduits|conduit]], his survivability was more likelier than a normal human, but that mattered little to Cole for the moment. After brushing up, he went forward into the Historic District, where all of his enemies gathered<ref name="inFamous" />. |

| − | Arriving at the Historic District, John told Cole to lower the [[19th Street Drawbridge]] for him to better escape if ever the situation escalates. After that, he was contacted by Kessler, whom told him that he must change and adjust, or else, he'd die. After dealing with an [[Aura Conduit]], Cole is contacted again by Kessler who informs him that Trish was right beside him, held captive against her will as a lure for Cole. Kessler also told Cole about several bombs that he had set around the city, surrounded with innocent civilians. <ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | Cole was tasked with dealing with the bomb threats himself, being told to [[Electric Drain|drain the electricity]] so to best avoid any casualties. After several bombs have been defused (and also taking in insults from Kessler), Cole was presented a choice by Kessler. On one end of the city is Trish, hanged alone in a very high building with a paper bag over her head. At the center area were six doctors whom are hanged and gagged just the same way as Trish. Cole was to either save the woman he loved, or save the doctors that can help cure a thousand lives. With this, Cole decided and went with his choice. Despite his efforts, Trish still ended up falling from her place, dying from the injuries<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole, desperate to revive her, used all he could to do so, but only managed to get her alive for a brief moment. Trish told Cole on how she felt about the man he became, before finally dying at Cole's arms. Cole buried her at the park in the district beside the various victims whom died since the Blast. After the burial, Cole swore that he'd make Kessler pay<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | After a brief argument with John, Cole was tasked with restoring the outdated substations located at the Historic District in order to gain a new power and completely restore power of Empire City. After doing so, Cole was told to meet up at the [[Blue Canyon Building]], where he was then tasked to eliminate the air balloons that's releasing a vile toxic gas born from Sasha's [[Black tar|tar]], causing several pedestrians and individuals to go berserk. Using his [[Lightning Storm|newfound power]], Cole was able to break the barriers of the balloon, and also managed to destroy the [[UAV]]s surrounding the balloon. After the destruction of the four balloons, Cole was told by John that it was time to move on the offensive. He was instructed by John to meet with him at the old [[Ashford Building]]<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| − | |||
| − | John, riding a chopper with a charged metal platform as the carrier of Cole, told him to find several jamming devices that are disrupting John's radar for the Ray Sphere, and then give Cole the signal to destroy it. Arriving at one borough after another, Cole destroyed the devices while clearing his way of the First Sons, and finished destroying the final device somewhere near [[Ground Zero]] at the Historic District. While running does errands, Cole was contacted by both Zeke and Moya, the former about reconciling with him, the latter about the dangers of the Ray Sphere. Both of them were shunned by Cole, hearing enough out of both of them and disregarding everything the two have said<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||

| − | ====The Ray Sphere==== |
||
| − | After locating the Ray Sphere, John had a chopper ready to drop a very toxic chemical onto the building. Cole was tasked with eliminating the anti-air craft weapons below to cease fire upon us. As Cole destroyed the machines, he was called by Moya, whom warned Cole that if her actions were not the one in charge, the city would fall apart. Cole infuriatingly told Moya not to pin the case on him, but Moya told Cole it was too late. Disregarding the thought for the moment, Cole continued with the destruction of the machines. After the last machine was destroyed, John told Cole to steer clear as he was gonna drop the bomb. After both did so, the First Sons managed to get a truck in time for them to escape<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Telling Cole to follow him, John tracked down the truck throughout the borough, and arrived somewhere in the harbor area of the Historic District. Cole, while John was behind him, moved in on the harbor, eliminating every single one of Kessler's men. After a very brief combat with the First Sons, Cole and John were finally able to arrive at the very end of the harbor, where the Sphere stood<ref name="inFamous" />. |

| − | The Sphere, encased within a sort of carrier with metal rotary rings, just stood there. Cole and John ponder over whether the Sphere should stay. Cole, after much thought, decided to destroy the Sphere with everything he's got. Although the Sphere cracked open, its destruction did not go without casualty, as John White's body is warped into the dimension that the Sphere has unleashed. Before he could be consumed by the fire and the dimension's wrath, Cole ran for solid ground before he is killed. After the destruction of the harbor, Cole was contacted by Kessler<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | After the business with the Ray Sphere, Cole and Kessler finally confronted each other at [[Ground Zero]], the site of [[The Blast]]. After a duel, and a brief interference from Zeke, Cole was able to defeat Kessler. As Cole looked down upon him, Kessler uttered out weakly that he loved Trish, asking her for forgiveness. As Cole wondered why he would say that, Kessler lunged at Cole once again, digging his fingers into his head. It was there that Cole found out the truth, as Kessler's secrets played out in his head<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole saw Kessler's nemesis, a destructive entity known only as "[[The Beast]]", which intent was to eradicate every living being. During the early days of the entity's rise, Kessler could've used his powers to stop it, but instead chose to flee from it. Being hunted for years, Kessler and his family watched as the rest of the world fell victim to the Beast's wrath, leaving everything in its wake destroyed. After years, Kessler was left alone, with his wife and two daughters dead, and his powers barely standing a chance against the Beast<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | In that moment, Kessler used his powers to time travel back to the past with no way back to his present in an attempt to rewrite history. Kessler seized control over the [[First Sons]], ridding the faction of [[Alden Tate]] and accelerated the [[Ray Sphere]]'s development. Kessler devoted decades testing the Ray Sphere, planning the layout of [[The Blast|the Blast]], organizing Empire City's [[Quarantine|quarantine]], and locating Cole. The only thing that Kessler had from his past, the thing that drove him forward was a picture from his wedding day: When he married Trish, with Zeke as his best man. At that moment, Cole realized that he and Kessler were the same person<ref name="inFamous" />. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kessler went back in time to prepare Cole for the Beast, to render him stronger, ruthless, powerful, going so far as to kill Trish. He prepared Cole for his future nemesis' imminent coming so that he can make the decisions no one can, all for the greater good. As Kessler succumbed to his injuries, Cole took one last look before leaving the area. Cole then vowed that he will be ready for the Beast's advent<ref name="inFamous" />. |

||
| − | Right after the death of Kessler, Cole revisited Trish's grave, still grieving over her loss. [[Warden Harms]] visited Cole as he mourned, as he tried to raise his spirits and made an effort to relate to Cole's situation. After that, Cole scoured the city, searching for the remaining members of the First Sons. After Cole disposed of several soldiers at a secluded alley, he was contacted by Warden Harms, who was under attack by several of the First Sons. Making his way to the area, Cole deflected a grenade launched by a soldier, then proceeded to dispose them.<ref name="inFamous DC Comics"> ''inFamous DC Comics'' </ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | After Cole brushed off the enemies, and receiving a pat on the shoulder from Zeke, Cole made efforts to make sure that those were the last of them, and went on to patrol the area. Later that night at [[Eagle Point Penitentiary]], Cole told Zeke what happened as the latter told him how sorry he was. He told Zeke that he was Kessler, why he returned to the past, and how he killed Trish just to make sure Cole would be ready for the monster, the Beast, seen in Kessler's vision. He then told Zeke why he bares so much hatred for Zeke, remarking that every time he looks at Zeke, he sees the image of Kessler laughing at him, which makes Cole want to strangle Zeke. After this, Cole left the area, leaving behind a puzzled Zeke.<ref name="inFamous DC Comics" /> |

||
| − | The next day, Cole was asked for help by Zeke, who needed a van's batteries recharged. After doing so, Cole asks Zeke if he believed what he said about Kessler, to which Zeke replied he did. Cole then confesses his troubled mentality, being haunted by Kessler, believing that he's destroyed his life and it will never be rebuilt. At this moment, Zeke stepped in and told Cole of his time with Kessler, stating that he was kept in a cell, and that he'd get a visit from Kessler every now and then. In his last visit, Kessler said goodbye and thanked Zeke for being a good friend all these years, which only now made sense when Cole clarified that he and Kessler were one and the same.<ref name="inFamous DC Comics" /> |

| − | After Cole confided with Zeke, a missile flew by and dropped near their vicinity, making them stumble over. As the two got up, they see a whole Military aerial armada coming to the city. Cole figured immediately that it was Moya, keeping her promise about destroying the city should Cole disobey. Telling Zeke to get the Warden, the three got up and about to deal with the troops. Attacked by several choppers and soldiers, Cole managed to deal with all of these while keeping the other two safe. Cole thought that Moya would send in more troops over, which led the Warden to believe that they need to formulate a proper plan, suggesting that they head inside the Penitentiary. Cole, while inside the facility as several personnel block the paths, was contacted by Moya, whom gave him a proper warning; to surrender to them, or else the consequences will be dire. Cole told her off, and simply said that she should ready her men for him. Moya gave him until tomorrow morning until he decides.<ref name="inFamous DC Comics" /> |

||
| − | After a month, as Cole was on his daily routine, an agent from the NSA named [[Lucy Kuo]] arrived at Empire City to meet up with him. She explained that she was fully aware of the Beast's nature and its imminent coming, also informing him of one of her associates, Dr. [[Sebastian Wolfe]], whom previously worked with Kessler on the Ray Sphere. Offering Cole help to prepare and empower him for the Beast's advent, the only condition Kuo had was for him to come to New Marais. Cole agreed, and prepared to leave for New Marais with Kuo, along with Zeke. <ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | As the three were conversing at the deck, Cole told Zeke that the trip was only for a short time, as he needed to head back immediately after he's received his powers, so that he can stop the Beast before it unleashes catastrophe. As they continued the conversation, Kuo noticed a slight disturbance from the distance at [[Archer Square]]. The group sees a destructive vortex open up right beside the square's statue, and blows open, tearing the area apart. Acting immediately, Cole got out of the boat and onto the harbor, running towards the site as his surroundings crumble and fall apart. Cole sees from afar, a gigantic visage of what was later revealed to be the [[John White|Beast]]. After Cole fired a few bolts, the Beast threw the broken half of the statue at him, causing Cole to stumble over. At that split second, the Beast appeared right behind the statue, pushing it aside and confronts Cole. |

After the power subsided, the Beast fell to the water, thought dead by Cole and the others.

Held between the Beast's hands, Cole was nearly killed by it if he hadn't fought back. After summoning another storm, Cole was freed from the grasp of the Beast, at the cost of his strength being drained and fell to the water, barely alive.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Brought back to the boat, Cole was put in the infirmary to heal his wounds. As he awoke, he saw Zeke and the TV broadcasting the fall of Empire City by the Beast, how the entity reconstructed itself and destroyed the city. As the boat headed to New Marais, Cole wandered around the deck alone, as people tried to keep their distance from him either because of fear or respect. Zeke, Kuo, and the other individuals there were trying to continue their supposed routines, as the Beast's activities were being tracked, destroying anything in its path as it headed southwards. |

As they arrived closer to New Marais, Kuo had called in one of her contacts to get a smaller boat, for they had to sneak in the rest of the way, given that the city was in lockdown. Reaching a [[Militia]] Checkpoint, Cole decided to go meet the Militia and handle them accordingly. Given the [[Amp]] by Zeke, Cole got out of the boat and went to work, subduing the hostiles ahead. After dealing with all the watchers and appearant attackers, Cole made his way into the city, as Kuo and Zeke's boat followed.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

||
| − | Arriving by New Marais' harbor, Cole followed Kuo as she led the way to Dr. Sebastian Wolfe, whom she contacted on the way to his place. As he expressed delight in MacGrath's presence, he delivered bad news, as the Militia had stormed in on his labs and took the [[Blast Core]] he was keeping. As the two made their way to Dr. Wolfe, the doctor contacted Kuo again, this time informing her that the Militia have returned and are trying to knock down his door. Kuo left Cole to retrieve the Blast Core so she can go help Wolfe. After subduing the Militia at the rooftop, Cole found the Blast Core and contacted Wolfe immediately, asking if he was still at the lab.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | After Wolfe have picked up his phone, a powerful explosion erupted at a far off building, sending several [[Blast Shards|shards]] flying all over the city. Cole went to the disturbance immediately and found Wolfe's lab in ruins, with Wolfe still pinned down by debris. After Cole had helped Wolfe up his feet (and hear a comment from him about his likeness to [[Kessler]]), Cole admitted that he has failed to defeat the Beast in Empire City. Just then, Wolfe showed Cole the [[Ray Field Inhibitor]], a powerful device created as a sort of anti-Ray Sphere. It has the ability to drain the powers off of [[Conduits]], even the Beast. After Wolfe told Cole to keep it safe, Cole presented the Blast Core he found to the doctor.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

Once Cole is able to absorb enough Blast Cores, he will have enough power to use the RFI. Wasting no time, Cole activated the Core, which resulted in a powerful sudden surge of power through his body, causing him to black out after the process was finished. After that, Cole awoke to the sight of Zeke shooting some Militia soldiers. After the slight disturbance, Zeke asked Cole what happened to him. After Cole replied that he has received a new power, Zeke told Cole to see what he can do.

After fetching the message, Kuo mentioned that there were several [[Blast Shards]] scattered near the tower. After that, Kuo told Cole to stretch his powers a bit as she continues the investigation.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | Just then, Cole was contacted by Zeke regarding some of the past people he met. He said they've contacted him, asking him to get them favors from the ''"Electric Man"''. Cole met up with him to further discuss this, and after they did, Zeke told him that both a cop and a junkie contacted him. Figuring that the people of New Marais would recognize his actions, Cole decided to send a message. After dealing with the Militia and gaining the city people's attention, Cole was contacted by Kuo, whom told him of the possible evolution of his powers through extensive and proper use. Dealing with a Militia mob at the district, Cole's power evolved further, able to [[Pincer Bolt|shoot three bolts at once]]. After this, he continued his investigations.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kuo then admitted that Cole was becoming less and less anonymous as he continued his activities in New Marais. Before the majority of civilians asks for help, Cole remarked that it was time they find Wolfe. Seeing no other leads, Kuo told the team that the leader of the Militia, Joseph Bertrand, is about to make a speech at [[St. Ignatius]]. Seeing an opportunity there, Cole waits for Bertrand while telling Zeke to go ahead and watch from the crowd anonymously.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

Just as they talked, Bertrand continued on delivering his propaganda message, stating that a "demon", referring to Cole, walked among them, along with the rest of the "deviants". Promoting the Militia's presence and supposed protection services, Bertrand assured the civilians that the "Demon of Empire City" will be brought to justice. Just when Zeke was contemplating on leaving, whom was stopped by Cole, a [[Corrupted|swamp monster]] appeared behind some of Bertrand's propaganda materials and paraphernalia. As civilians flee in fear, and as Bertrand retreats to his car with his Militia, the monsters attacked the gathering, killing off the Militia soldiers. |

After subduing them, Zeke told Cole that Bertrand was fleeing from the area on his limousine, along with some of his men. Cole takes to the rooftops in order to follow him quicker and safer, and after dealing with several of his men and navigating through the city, Cole managed to hop on the car of Bertrand, sarcastically asking him with enthusiasm to talk as the car drove through the city. Bertrand ignores his chatter, though Cole tried to threaten him if he refused to reveal Wolfe's location. Just then, Bertrand warned Cole to worry more about his head, as the car drove right under a chopper, knocking Cole off of the car and onto the street.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

After a call from Zeke, and a minor business that had to be settled, Kuo found a lead to Wolfe, which was Bertrand's interrogator. Cole opted to track him while staying on the rooftops after he's finished gambling. Reaching the nearby rooftop, Cole waited for Kuo's call regarding the interrogator's status.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

He managed to track him down at a small house nearby some Militia checkpoints. Cole dealt with the Militia (and a [[Ravager]]) before Kuo arrived with a truck. After this, Kuo managed to get Wolfe out of the building and took him in the truck, though they tripped the alarm on the way. Cole made his way to the nearby alley and got on the truck, while also checking on Wolfe for himself, whom was a mess due to the interrogation methods inflicted upon him. Though Kuo wanted to ask more questions, Cole told them to leave immediately so they wouldn't be caught by the Militia.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

There, he asked Wolfe what the Militia wanted with him. As he stated that the Militia and Bertrand planned something far worse that he thought (also stating that the Blast Cores were only the beginning), Bertrand's voice was heard from afar, through a radio transmission from a Militia truck.

| − | After recovering from the impact, and returning into the city, he was contacted by Zeke, who may have something of interest for Cole. After they met up, and after Zeke tried to raise Cole's spirits, Zeke told Cole that he may have found Kuo, stating that there was a woman who escaped the Militia lynch mob and tried to hide the swamps. Cole then dropped down from the building and made his way to the swamp, searching shack after shack for Kuo. As he approached the third shack's door, he saw a nearby disturbance. Figuring that it was Kuo trying to fight back, he made his way there. |

| − | [[File:Demon2Demon.png|thumb|left|250px|Cole's first encounter with the Swamp Witch.]] |
||
| − | Arriving at the area, Cole saw several fallen Militia, and felt the presence of another individual. Just then, a woman appeared out of nowhere, then [[Teleportation|teleported]] to one area after another. Just then, he was pinned by the woman, whom nearly killed Cole if she didn't see his face. Realizing who he was, the woman backed away as Cole aimed for her. The woman, who held a Blast Core, claimed she was a fan of Cole, and introduced herself as [[Nix]], a [[Conduit]] much like Cole. Cole asked for the Blast Core, though Nix asked him for help first before she hands it over. Agreeing to the terms, Cole followed Nix into the city, where he was led to a park filled with Bertrand's men and propaganda.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | She asked Cole to spill barrels of oil to several Militia banners, and also subdued the nearby Militia. After spilling the barrels, Cole ignited them with his [[Electrokinesis|electrokinesis]], causing a chain of fire that burned most of the park. As the fire got worse, Nix and Cole got on ground and dealt with the rest of the Militia. As the last soldier fell, Nix expressed extreme joy and satisfaction at the destruction she and the "demon" caused. After this, Nix handed Cole the Blast Core, after the latter stated to call him due to their similarities as a Conduit. After this, Cole left the area and met up with Zeke.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Rescuing Kuo==== |
||
| − | After absorbing the Blast Core, and learning of Zeke's new job as an undercover Militia soldier for their side, Cole learned from Zeke that Kuo was being held hostage in a nearby fort protected by Militia soldiers. Cole, along with Zeke and Nix, tried to formulate a plan on how to get her out. Nix's initial plan was to utilize the train car that runs through the mansion's front, rig it with explosives, and speed up the train's speed so fast, it will derail the car into the mansion's front. Though Cole pitched in that a fire would make a great diversion, Zeke mentioned that it would kill the civilians nearby, and at the fort. Zeke then told of another plan, which involved freeing cops being held hostage by the Militia, much to Nix's distaste. |

||
| − | Regardless, Cole managed to find Kuo after dealing with the Militia at the fort, holed up in an icecold containment room where she was bound at the very center. Held by two cuffs and had a metal headgear over her head covering her eyes, Kuo was experimented on by Bertrand, bled dry and filled up again with a different substance. Cole freed her after blasting her restraints, and helped her out of the containment room, though they were followed on the way out by [[Vermaak 88|subjects]] from a similar experiment.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole tried to help Kuo on the way out, though as he did, several of the subjects were making their way out of the fort, as the Militia tried to both contain the subjects and stop Kuo and Cole from escaping. Kuo slowly made her way to the outside of the fort, where Zeke was waiting, bringing along a pickup truck. After making her way there, Kuo got on the truck, where Cole followed. The three then abruptly leave before things escalated, escaping the Militia, and the subjects.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Run Down==== |
||
| − | After restoring power at [[Ascension Parish]], Cole was told by Zeke that there was a woman taken captive by the Militia and brought somewhere nearby the swamps. When he went there, he encountered and set free the woman for sacrifice to the Corrupted, [[Sara]]. She told Cole to follow her so he can meet up with his uncle [[Laroche]], who was the leader of the [[Rebels]] in New Marais. After making their way through the park, Cole met with Laroche, whom indirectly admitted to her niece that she knew of the Militia's sacrifice offerings. As Laroche and Sara were about to argue, the former catches sight of Cole, whom he knew best as the "Demon of Empire City". Cole offered to him that they work together to take down the Militia, though as he did, a [[Devourer]] appeared. After dealing with the Devourer, Laroche contacted Cole and said that he's interested in an alliance, though he still has his doubts.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later that evening, Cole was told by Zeke that Kuo was up and about, and was gonna give something to him. Meeting with Kuo at [[St. Charles Cemetery]], Cole found her with a new look to better suit her new Conduit abilities. Though Kuo's abilities were still unstable, Cole told her that he can help, and started with working together to dispose the Militia around the cemetery. After that, Kuo sent Cole an image found in Wolfe's labs, which may lead to another Blast Core. After a thorough search, an encounter with a [[Hive Lord]], and seeing the victims of the [[Ray Field Plague]], Cole was finally able to find the Blast Core. After Kuo bid goodbye to her "coach" and left, Cole left as well, and headed for Zeke's place.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:NewMaraisCrater.png|thumb|left|250px|Nix takes Cole to a crater similar to Empire City's.]] |
||
| − | After gaining another power by activating the core, Nix asked for Cole's presence by the swamp pier, where she had something to show him. Procuring a boat, Cole and Nix saw several Militia posted at the swamp, with several of the Corrupted at the area, combating them. After making their way through the ruckus, dealing with the enemies that came their way, Nix was able to deliver Cole to the area. There, Nix showed the sight where her powers originated, a crater caused by a [[New Marais Blast|Blast]] similar to [[Empire City Blast|Empire City's]], and explained everything about it. After learning that Bertrand perpetrated the event, Cole and Nix returned to the city, with Cole swearing to her that Bertrand will pay.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Fort Philippe==== |
||
| − | Returning to the city, Cole was contacted by Zeke, whom asked for a meeting, along with Kuo and Nix. At Zeke's roof, Zeke then announces that the [[Transfer Device]] is inside the fortress known as [[Fort Philippe]], which was overrun by Militia. As Kuo and Nix were about to argue over whether to destroy it or not, Cole breaks them up and pitches in that they should think about how they will get the device first. Kuo mentions that if they give [[Rosco Laroche]] and his [[Rebels|men]] food and supplies (which was all taken by the Militia), she will have to find the stash herself. Zeke then pitches in that he procured a map where all of the Militia's supplies are located.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | As the two abruptly leave and discuss their plan, Cole is approached by Nix. Nix pitched in her own plan, which was to dress up as a Militia and wreck havoc around the area, drawing the rebel's attention. Cole is then to pretend that he took down the attacking Militia, which will endear him among the rebels if done correctly. Though Cole thought the plan was crazy, Nix commented that she feels he rather liked it, and disappears, leaving Cole to decide on how to handle the mission.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Regardless, Cole managed to get the rebels on his side, and have begun preparations for the attack on the fort. Cole was to take out the turrets placed around the fort with Kuo, to which they did. After that, and after the rebels stormed in, the power at the fort was out, which caused Cole to weaken. After he restored the power, he worked with Nix to dispose of the mortars around the fort, and also take care of the remaining Militia. After this, Kuo contacts Cole to inform him that they found the Transfer Device, and had the rebels haul it out for a great bonfire.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:TransferMachineCole.png|thumb|250px|Cole tinkers with the Transfer Device as Kuo and Nix watch.]] |
||
| − | The Device was put out at the fort, and Cole arrives as Kuo and Nix look at it. Seeing another Blast Core placed within the device, Cole tells them to strap him in. As Kuo expresses disbelief, Nix was ready to offer her powers to Cole. Cole explains that it would be better if they combined powers to help better the synchronization between each of them. Kuo's distaste suddenly segued into a reluctant offer of exchanging powers with her, to which Nix replies that if she chose her, she'd leave, and vice versa from Kuo. After deciding who to transfer powers with, and using the device, Cole sees Bertrand from afar, about to ride a chopper on the other side of the fort. Cole stumbles to Bertrand's direction, and lets out a bolt strong enough to cause an incredible amount of damage to the chopper. Cole then slides into unconsciousness.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

||
| − | {{Quote|That guy can run all he wants, it doesn't matter. I know his secret ... and I am coming for him.|Cole, after seeing firsthand what Bertrand truly is.<ref name="inFamous 2" />}} |
||
| − | After gaining consciousness, Cole followed the chopper's trail and managed to find it near the bridge to [[Flood Town]], destroyed and turned into debris. Cole glares upon it happily as he enters to check on Bertrand. But as he did, the ground trembled and disrupted. Seeing a dust cloud at the near center of the area, Cole investigates, only to find out later that a giant [[Behemoth|behemoth]] is what's causing the tremors, and is wreaking havoc upon the city. The monster then went after Cole, as he flees with several of the Militia focusing on the behemoth.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | [[File:FightBertrand.png|thumb|left|250px|Cole, fighting the giant monster known as the Behemoth.]] |
||
| − | As the monster chased Cole around the city, with the latter fighting back, Cole was attacked by both the Corrupted, and the Militia, though both of the factions were also busy dealing with each other. After destroying the specific weakpoints of the behemoth, Cole able to defeat the monster, as he trash-talked it down. As the dirty smoke got thicker while it spun around the fallen monster, the dust settles down and Cole sees the weakened, human form of the monster: [[Joseph Bertrand III]]. Seeing the supposed human purist mutated into the monster he just defeated, Cole goes after him as Bertrand flees the area for [[Flood Town]]. Knowing Bertrand's deepest secret, Cole goes after him in the district.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Sooner than later=== |
||
| − | ====Flood Town==== |
||
| − | After restoring power into the district, Cole was contacted by Zeke, who said that the rebels found a cure for the plague. Making his way there, he later found out that there was no cure, though the rebels and Zeke did need help from Cole, as several of the [[Corrupted]] were making their way into the town, attacking any nearby civilian. Cole was tasked to use the [[Dunbar Beam]] to reduce civilian casualties, and so he did. After the overwhelming amount of Corrupted, Cole retreated to the center of the district and worked with Laroche and Zeke in eliminating the Corrupted converging in that area.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | As they were nearly defeated, Cole and the others were saved by units from [[Vermaak 88]], the Ice Conduits. They demanded Laroche for the Blast Core, to which they said did not agree to. After defeating the Ice Conduits, Laroche was grateful, and asked Cole one more favor before giving away the Blast Core. Several of the Ice Conduits damaged the wells around the district, causing a fire that created a very harmful smoke. As Cole cleared out the fire however, he sees Bertrand with another man, experimenting on him with his powers. After he cleared out the fire, Laroche thanks Cole, and tells him to meet up with Zeke if he wants the Blast Core.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | |||
| − | [[File:DunbarMcGrath.png|thumb|left|250px|Cole prepares for the arrival of the Swamp Monsters.]] |
||
| − | Meeting up at a train car near Flood Town's entrance, Cole, Zeke, and Kuo prepare to activate the Blast Core. Before they did however, Kuo found some notes from Wolfe's lab that state that the RFI was originally created to cure the plague ravaging the country, which originated from Ray Field Energy radiation. As Cole was about to activate the Core, he realizes that the [[Empire City Blast|Blast from Empire City]] was where the plague originated. After Zeke promised that they'll fix everything, Cole activates the Core, and wakes up the next morning. Failing to activate the RFI, Cole remarks that a few more Cores will be enough to activate his powers, before leaving the train car to test his powers.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Exposing Bertrand==== |
||
| − | After stretching out his powers, Cole was called in by Kuo, who asked for the team to meet up at the train car. As he arrived, Kuo and Zeke were discussing when and why Bertrand is on the Train Yard, as Nix listened reluctantly. As Cole sat down, Nix told him that she knew what was going on, and that she was only being ignored by the two. When given the chance to speak, Nix told them that Bertrand was creating the monsters they were fighting all this time, stating that they belong to him. She's also said that it was the reason he was on the train yard, for it was there that he was making the monsters. She even mentioned that she tried to tame them and succeeded, though the monster died protecting her from the Militia.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:ColeCam.png|thumb|250px|Cole mockingly waving at Bertrand with his camera.]] |
||
| − | Kuo and Zeke expressed minimal amusement and disbelief on Nix's story, to which Nix was angered by. As Nix was about to start a fight with Kuo, Cole held them off, and after settling down, Kuo suggested that she and Cole take evidence of Bertrand's activities, if what Nix said was true. Nix disagreed and said that they should focus more on taming the monsters and use them as an army against Bertrand. Cole abruptly leaves the train car as he tells the team to be prepared. After this, Cole made his way to the nearby district of Gas Town, where he prepared to meet up with Kuo.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kuo was a bit occupied with the TV signal during that time, so she told Cole to go on ahead. Forced to make the longer route, Cole arrived at the train yard, told that most of the Militia were drugged. Using a camera lent to him, Cole took pictures of several civilians, the Corrupted and their variants, and also Bertrand using his powers on an individual. After taking the pictures, Cole sent Kuo the pictures, and broadcasted them all around the city. Bertrand realizing he was played, he immediately disappeared from the site, as the yard was raided by rebels.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:NixCole.png|thumb|250px|left|Cole watches Nix escape with the Swamp Monsters.]] |
||
| − | Cole and Kuo worked together to free the civilians, and also to defeat the [[Devourer]] nearby. As he was rescuing some of the civilians, Nix appeared before Cole at the train yard, and was evacuating the monsters out of the area. He told her that they were monsters that will only cause havoc, to which she replies that they aren't, and that her plan against Bertrand will work. After Nix left and the last civilians were rescued, and after Kuo assured Cole that the Militia and Bertrand are nearly finished, the two left the area.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

||
| − | Just then, Cole was contacted by Zeke, whom was ecstatic to tell him about what he had in possession. Cole then came back to the first district to meet up with him. Cole met up with Zeke, who brought a pickup truck from the Militia, and behind it was a large item covered in wooden panels. When Cole removed the panels, he saw a nuclear missile that Zeke found, apparently insurance for Wolfe if ever his experiments went extremely wrong. Zeke drives the truck to Flood Town's harbor with Cole, in hopes that using it to kill the Beast while it's still far off the city will finish it off. Fending off most of the hostiles, Cole and Zeke managed to get the truck by the pier, where Zeke set up the targeting system.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | After Cole cleared out the area of the [[Vermaak 88]] units, Cole pointed the target at the Beast, who was fighting several hostiles far off from the city. The nuke launches, and hits the Beast, who stumbles down and disappears. The impact of the nuke was strong enough to blast back several of the city's inhabitants, including Cole and Zeke. Cole wakes up at the sight of a red sky caused by a nuke, as he revels in their success against the Beast. He then contacts Zeke, who was pinned down by a dumpster. He then assists Zeke back up his feet.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | As Zeke slowly made his way to the truck, with Cole helping him, a destructive vortex appears in between the cranes nearby, as Cole and Zeke express disbelief. The Beast was still alive, and was now at New Marais. Both hurried out of the area due to the vortex's instability, and managed to get out of just in time, though not without injuries. Cole wakes up beside the truck Zeke rode, destroyed. He immediately contacts Zeke, who followed the Beast at [[Gas Works]], though it disappeared.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

||
| − | Cole makes an effort to restore the power at Gas Works, New Marais' industrial zone. As he brought power back to each transformer, and as he fended off most of the Vermaak, Cole was captured and caged by Bertrand as he was about to restore power to the last transformer. There, Bertrand talks to Cole, in hopes of him understanding. He told him that he cannot stop the power of the Beast, though he believes that he and Cole can defeat it, if they joined forces. Cole states that he's got the feeling that Bertrand will betray him when the moment presents itself. He then demands him and his men to get him out of the cage so he can make a solo effort to defeat the Beast, though Bertrand disagreed. He then ordered his men to kill Cole MacGrath.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole hid behind several boxes and dodged most of the Militia's fire. As the cover ran out, He then immediately called Kuo for immediate help, though after a short while, Zeke storms in and shoots down the Militia, which caused Bertrand to flee. Zeke then helps Cole out of the cage. Realizing the way he's been treating Zeke, Cole apologizes to him, to which he just throws off, stating that what he did at [[Empire City]] was just as bad, if not worse. The two then reconcile, and leave the area.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:ZekeCole2.png|thumb|250px|Cole confides with Zeke.]] |
||
| − | Zeke later contacts Cole, who forgot his first reason of being there. He told him that a member of the Militia said that a Blast Core was present at a nearby warehouse. Cole goes to the area and locates a safe, though it only contained deeds to three other warehouses. Cole visited the three warehouses, and found the Blast Core at the third warehouse, after he defeated the [[Titan]] and several other hostiles.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Conduit Arms Race==== |
||
| − | Cole found a briefcase beside the Blast Core, containing paperwork from the Militia and Bertrand's activities. What he found were several shipping documents for the [[Vermaak 88]] units conceived by his experiments, to be shipped to several power figures and warlords all over the world, in effect, starting a new arms race. Cole then looks at the other documents, and sees pictures and more paperwork, this time detailing Bertrand's several good deeds, the likes of donations and planting of trees. Though the two things conflict each other, Cole takes things into consideration, and believes that Bertrand plans to save the world through the same way as several Biblical Figures. As Cole pondered over these, he goes back to Zeke's place to use the Blast Core.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | After gaining a new power from the Blast Core, Cole was contacted by Zeke, who informed him that a shipment for the Forced Conduits will be happening later on at the day. He goes by Gas Work's pier and attempts to sabotage the boat, though he was hindered by several of the Vermaak. Though they proved to be a tough fight, Cole managed to defeat all of them, and managed to destroy the two boats before they got out of the city.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

Though Cole thought he was dead, John said that he was reformed, albeit still feeling the effects of the Ray Sphere ripping his body apart. Seeing that he was no ghost or illusion, Cole concludes that he was a Conduit and asked why he was there in New Marais. John then told Cole he wanted to show him something, subsequently while giving him an enhancement to his [[Radar Pulse|power]]. John then told him to meet with him at the [[Plague Ward]] nearby.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | John told him of the plague that's ravaged Empire City before its destruction, and currently New Marais. The virus has spread all over the East Coast according to John, with millions dying. He remarked that the government cannot stop the virus due to its unreal nature, but remarks that he can, with Cole's help. After Cole arrives at the ward, he searches for someone who bore the Conduit gene, and was told by John to heal the citizen. Cole failed several times, and decided to give up on healing her.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

He told Cole that he can cure the woman by activating her powers under the same process as the Ray Sphere, though only a fraction of the negative results. As John used his power with Cole behind him, Cole expresses extreme disbelief when he found out that John was [[The Beast]]. As he came to this conclusion, the warehouse exploded, causing the death of many individuals, though it saved the life of the woman with the Conduit gene, who survived the minor blast. Thanking Cole, she then flew to the sky. John then remarks that humanity is finished, before asking Cole for help.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | After the business with John, Cole was called by Zeke, whom told him that Bertrand was on his way out of the district via chopper, though will not be leaving due to Zeke's sabotage. Cole rushed towards the sight, and managed to caught Bertrand at the empty heliport. Cole confronts Bertrand about his actions, what's he has been doing. Bertrand admits that he wanted to induce the fear of Conduits into everyone that those not have their abilities, and at worst, turn them hostile against the Conduits. Cole then figures out that Bertrand thought that he'd be a "superhero" through the power of the Ray Sphere, but instead it turned him into a giant monster. He then objects that he thought all of the Conduits are monsters, whose only real purpose is to kill most of humanity. Cole then mentions that those who are behind the powers kill people, not the power themselves. Bertrand agrees, and jumps off the helipad, turning into the [[Behemoth]] once again.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

After reaching the destination, Cole, along with Kuo, Nix, and several of the Rebels, attack Bertrand. Subduing most of Bertrand's underlings and also weakening Bertrand, Cole took off with the Rebel Chopper to draw Bertrand to another trap. Along the way, Zeke blasted missiles that were specifically designed for repelling Bertrand, though it wasn't enough to bring him down.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

Bertrand was weakened by the explosion after Cole detonated it, though he was still standing. Cole and the others finally joined together to finish Bertrand off once and for all. After a long and grueling battle, Bertrand was subdued, and fell to the ground dead, dying as a monster. Cole then remarks that Bertrand got his wish; not being a Conduit anymore. Nix spitted on the corpse of the monster, as Cole and Kuo express mutual happiness for her.

He learned that [[Vermaak 88]] was keeping a Blast Core with them, and instructed Cole to meet him somewhere at Gas Works. He arrived as Zeke kept on with the hostile's location. After he pointed the leader of the group to Cole, Zeke coughed heavily. Concerned, Cole used the power given to him by John, and saw the plague eating Zeke away. After promising to cure the phenomena, Cole took off to combat the Vermaak.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The leader of the group fled the area and unto the tall tower at Gas Works. Filled with giant icicles and ice blocks, Cole made his way to the very top, and found the Blast Core encased in ice, a move the Vermaak thought would assist them in their endeavors. Zeke sent Cole photos of the valves needed to melt the ice encasing the Core. As he went to do this, Cole was contacted by John through telepathy, and asked Cole for help. Cole was reluctant to help him, and mentioned facts about John's attack on him during Empire City. John apologized and mentioned that the act of rebirth was an overwhelming sensation, and saw Cole as a threat during that time.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | |||
| − | As Cole turned the other valves, and after John's messages subsided from his head, Zeke told Cole of an incident at the swamp area, where The Beast had killed all of the nearby life forms. Cole suspected the [[Corrupted]] were killed, and that it was John's work, as an attempt to "raise them up". After this, Cole managed to remove the Blast Core from the tower, and fetched the Core after defeating all of the nearby Vermaak 88 Units. He then made his way to Zeke's place, asking him if he was ready. Zeke assured him that everything will be fine. After this, he activated the Core and slept through the rest of the night.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

Cole, Kuo, and Zeke all waited for Nix, whom arrived extremely distressed due to her pets being destroyed by The Beast. Cole then explains the true nature of the Beast; a former associate of him named John White, who've been turned into a [[Conduit]] after being sucked in into the Ray Sphere vortex. Though what he had been doing all along wasn't mass murder, but rather turn the majority into humanity into Conduits as a counter-measure for the plague, which the Conduits were immune to. He furthered it by telling them that John asked him to join him, much to the disbelief and rage of others. When told by Nix to do something about it, Cole agreed, and grasps the RFI on his hands.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | Cole charged the RFI with all he's got, though as he did, it caused Kuo and Nix to stumble down and feel the pain of dying as Cole continued the charge. Acting fast, Zeke took the [[Amp]] and smashed the RFI from Cole's hands in order to stop him and the deadly process. When all stood up, they expressed extreme disbelief, as all along, Wolfe planned Cole to die. The team then argue over which method will work best, ending with Kuo agreeing that John is the only way anyone will live, and Nix, decided that his life mattered less compared to the destruction of the Beast. Cole was forced to choose between the two options.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | [[File:RFILooking.png|thumb|250px|Cole, Nix, and Zeke look at the RFI, much to Kuo's distaste.]] |
||
| − | Cole decided, and asked Zeke if he was able to repair the RFI. As Zeke, Cole, and Nix look at the RFI for problems, Kuo attempted to steal the device, though failed to retrieve it. She leaves the area wit an unhappy tone, stating that they will regret what will happen next. Cole and Nix then listen in on Zeke, who saw that the RFI lacked a proper circuit, and wasn't charged to the fullest. Zeke then pitched in that he had an idea, which involved charging the RFI on different substations until its ready for use.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | ====Saving Humanity==== |
||
| − | [[File:LastGoodbyeIF2.png|thumb|250px|left|Cole bids his best friend goodbye.]] |
||
| − | Setting up the substations along with [[Laroche]] and the rebels, Zeke gives Cole and Nix the RFI and instructs him to go around the [[Substations|substations]] in order to charge it enough for use against the Beast. Once it is enough, Cole was to activate the RFI. Before leaving, Cole bids goodbye to his best friend in case he won't be able to later. After this, Nix lead the way to the substations, which was located somewhere by the plantations. They made their way out of the city, and went across the bay with the help of Laroche.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The rebels delivered Cole near the site of the first substation, though it was destroyed by the Beast before Nix could have got to it. As the Beast drew closer, Laroche instructed the two Conduits to leave them behind, to soften him up before Cole faces it. Reluctantly, the two left, and watched Laroche's boat get destroyed by the Beast. The two retreated into the city to the next substation. They arrive, and as Nix charges it, the Beast drew ever closer, as he was able to detect the RFI's presence. Cole fended off the Beast as Nix charged the device. Fending off John, and the interference of Kuo, Cole was able to subdue both, and called forth a [[Ionic Storm|lightning storm]] down on John, which shook him considerably. Nix saw this as she was charging the RFI, and remarked that it wasn't enough to contain John. Acting on her own, Nix lunged forward as an attempt to stop the Beast, though only managed to make John stumble. |

| − | |||
| − | [[File:ColeKuoConfide.png|thumb|250px|An injured Kuo with Cole, right before he activates the RFI.]] |
||
| − | Cole yelled out for Nix, though got no replies. Cole, embittered, took the RFI while stating that John was going to go next. Cole made a break for it to [[St. Ignatius]] and charged the RFI for the last time. After attaching it, the device was fully charged, and Cole was empowered greatly by it. Cole then takes it with him as he charged forward towards the Beast, taking flight and blasting away at John. John was weakened and defeated, as Cole landed down to the ground.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | As he was about to activate the RFI, an injured Kuo arrives at the park, telling Cole to do it. Cole arrived to her aid, and as he held her in his arms, she admitted that the three were right about everything, right about the plan. She admits that she was afraid during the time, and took back what she said. She then lets Cole be in order for him to activate the RFI. Cole, with all he's got, charged the RFI, and lets go, creating a powerful surge of energy.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

||
| − | The surge of energy proved fatal, as Cole and the nearby Conduits, the [[Corrupted]] and the [[Vermaak 88]] included, died. The surge burst through the atmosphere, affecting the entire planet, killing all Conduits and potential Conduits on different countries and continents. Though the thousands died, the rest of the populace were saved, as the RFI was able to eliminate the plague, saving those critically affected by the plague.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | [[File:ColeFinalMoment.png|thumb|250px|Cole's last moments.]] |
||
| − | As they celebrated, Zeke brought the body of Cole to the city of New Marais, greatly saddened over the loss of his best friend. The citizens of New Marais, fully aware of Cole's selfless act, brought the body for a grand funeral, where his Amp still sits in the stone infront of the Cathedral. Cole's selfless act regarded him among citizens as a saint, beloved by them. Zeke, whom wanted to bid goodbye to his best friend alone, brought his body on a boat, and drifted away into the sea, as a flash of lightning struck the boat from the horizon.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | ==Powers and skills== |
||
| − | ===Before the Blast=== |
||
| − | [[File:ParkourPractice.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Cole practicing parkour with Zeke at [[New Marais]].]] |
||
| − | Four years prior to the Blast, Cole began practicing Urban Exploration; parkour and climbing.<ref name="inFamous" /> He also traveled down to New Marais during his training, exploiting the drop of law enforcement. Through extensive training, Cole was able to perform parkour with ease, able to walk on narrow cables and climb buildings. This has aided him well in his job as a bike messenger in [[Empire City]].<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole also seemed to have a stronger resistance and endurance to injury, as he was able to make it out alive after being run over by a freight truck during the time before the Blast. Zeke mentions this to Trish when the latter was worried if Cole will get out of his coma or not, assuring her that he'll be fine.<ref name="inFamous DC Comics" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===inFamous=== |
||
| − | {{Quote|Outside, things were bad. But inside - inside me - something was...beginning.|Cole MacGrath, regarding his powers.<ref name="inFamous" />}} |
||
| − | Right after the Blast, Cole's primary ability is '''[[Electrokinesis]]''' and '''[[Electromagnetism]]'''. Electrokinesis gives Cole the ability to channel lightning in and out of his body, while Electromagnetism allows him to use electricity in order to generate magnetic and anti-magnetic effects. Also, with Cole's enhanced strength, he is able to fall from any height without harming himself. He can also charge himself with energy as he falls, creating a powerful explosion as he lands ([[Thunder Drop]]). Also, Cole is also able to effectively use [[Melee|hand-to-hand]] in combat, and can greatly improve the damage he can inflict by charging both of his arms with electric energy ([[Gigawatt Blades]]). Cole is also able to [[Reduce Damage|sustain more damage]] from his opponents. Due to his powers, he is unable to swim, for doing so will effectively kill him.<ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Coles-Awakening.png|thumb|left|250px|Cole, discovering his powers, with [[Trish Dailey]] at his side.]] |
||
| − | Cole has also gained an accelerated healing factor from the Blast, able to quickly repair any damage his body takes in, due to his body's natural ability to heal being greatly accelerated, through the stimulation of Cole's muscle tissues and his immune system. Cole is also rendered impervious to most diseases except for the more powerful ones, such as mind control, and the extreme toxic gases that Kessler's air balloons had released (both by-products of [[Sasha]]'s [[Black Tar]]). His healing factor can also be accelerated further when Cole absorbs electricity ([[Electric Drain]])<ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole is also able to use neuroelectric energy to his advantage, allowing him to extract a deceased individual's residual neuroelectric energy from their neurons' synapses to see the individual's final moments ([[Psychic Vision]]), and create a faint outline (called an "echo") of the path taken by an individual tied to the deceased's cause of death. He can also use this to faintly see an image of where a deceased individual might have kept a [[Blast Shards|hidden package]]. Cole is able to to continuously conjure the "echo" of an individual through the use of his radar-like ability ([[Radar Pulse]]). He can also use this ability to locate nearby [[Blast Shards|blast shards]] power sources, and also [[John White|John]]'s [[Dead Drops|dead drops]].<ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | With Electrokinesis, after absorbing energy from a nearby electrical power source, Cole is able to fire a bolt of lightning out of his hands and onto any target he has it aimed to ([[Lightning Bolt]]). Several variations of this attack include: a continuous chain of lightning ([[Arc Lightning]]), concentrate a massive amount of energy into a single bolt ([[Overload Burst]]), and also accurately aim and fire a lightning bolt ([[Precision]]).<ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | With Electromagnetism, Cole is able to perform several attacks, such as the ability to throw a collected amount of energy onto a target, similar to a grenade ([[Shock Grenades]]), fire a massive amount of concentrated energy that explodes on impact ([[Megawatt Hammer]]), and generate a shockwave ([[Electromagnetic Shockwave]]). Cole is also able to hover in the air using electromagnetism ([[Static Thrusters]]), and also grind through metal wires and railings ([[Induction Grind]]). Cole is also able to form a defensive barrier that can protect him from harm through the use of electromagnetism ([[Polarity Wall]]).<ref name="inFamous" />[[File:Coles-Shockwave.png|thumb|right|250px|Cole, executing one of his many forms of attack.]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Also, Cole is able to perform "touch-related" actions, such as "leeching" an individual's neuroelectric energy to instantly heal any body damage inflicted unto him ([[Bio Leech]]), restraint a nearby individual with the use of electrokinesis ([[Arc Restraint]]), and also heal a nearby injured individual back up their feet ([[Pulse Heal]]). Cole also has exhibited some form of weather control, the primary example being able to call forth an extremely powerful bolt of lightning from the sky, and able to control its direction when prolonged ([[Lightning Storm]]).<ref name="inFamous" /> |

||
| − | After the destruction of Empire City, Cole has began honing his skills and powers in [[New Marais]] in preparation for [[The Beast]]'s imminent advent. Cole retains most of his electrically based powers, including [[Static Thrusters]] and the [[Precision]] attack, while other powers have been revamped considerably. Cole's melee combat has been improved, now using a powerful electric baton instead of hand-to-hand (The [[Amp]]). Cole is able to receive new powers through the use of the [[Blast Cores]], several fragments charged with Ray Field energy. Cole is also able to use the power of an Ionic Charge that can be gained from fallen enemies, and use it to perform devastating powers akin to the attribute, such as conjuring a powerful hurricane ([[Ionic Vortex]]). The [[Lightning Storm]]'s power is now attributed to the Ionic Charges (being renamed [[Ionic Storm]]). |
||
| − | [[File:Infamous-2-20110406090312354-000.jpg|thumb|250px|Cole using Firebird Strike.]] |
||
| − | Most notably, Cole's powers now [[Power Customization|evolve]] after performing several stunts and actions. The first evolution took place after Cole took down several Militia, which granted him new powers. His primary ability evolved from blasting a single bolt ([[Alpha Bolt]]) to blasting three bolts at once ([[Pincer Bolt]]), and also able to gain other variations, such as the ability to blast a longer, stronger bolt ([[Magnum Bolt]]) and also the ability to blast a bolt that has a farther range ([[Artillery Bolt]]). Cole is also able to further evolve several of his abilities, including the Grenades and Shockwave attacks. Cole is also able to interchange between several of his powers as he combats his enemies, swapping from one power to another.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole has also furthered his [[Electrokinesis]] and [[Electromagnetism]], able to use a form of telekinesis, as Cole is able to lift a car through the use of his powers, and able to throw them at his opponents ([[Kinetic Pulse]]). Cole is also able to gain electrokinetic abilities that improve Cole's mobility, such as the ability to jump at a higher altitude while on top of a car ([[Car Jump]]) and also the ability to create a tether that allows Cole to drag himself to a surface that allows the tether to attach ([[Lightning Tether]]). He has also exhibited new forms of attack, such as the ability to use lightning as a lasso, and drag enemies off of their feet ([[Lightning Hook]]) and an enhanced [[Shock Grenade]], able to electrocute several enemies before detonation ([[Electrocution Grenade]]).<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Sadfsdjkaf.png|thumb|right|250px|left|Cole obtains a Blast Core, which will grant him a new power after use.]] |
||
| − | Through the [[Power Transfer Device]], Cole is able to gain abilities and attacks attributed to either '''[[Pyrokinesis]]''' (if he chooses to transfer powers with [[Nix]]) or '''[[Cryokinesis]]''' (if he chooses to transfer powers with [[Lucy Kuo]]). Several powers exhibited by Cole involve gliding at a low altitude while wrought in fire ([[Firebird Strike]]), and spiking off a tall icicle from the ground, able to jump greater heights ([[Ice Launch]]). Powers attributed to an ionic charge can also be used to perform attacks akin to the two elements, such as the ability to spike off several icicles from the ground, freezing nearby enemies ([[Ionic Freeze]]) and also the ability to drain the life force of nearby hostiles and bystanders ([[Ionic Drain]]). Several attacks are different variations of Cole's electrokinetic powers, only done in their element (such as the [[Nightmare Blast]] and the [[Frost Shield]]). Both abilities are attributed to [[Evil Karma|negative]] (Pyrokinesis) and [[Good Karma|positive]] Karma (Cryokinesis), meaning both cannot co-exist in one inning.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole is also able to gain bonuses that coincide with his [[Karma|Karmic]] rank, such as the ability to heal several civilians at once, and also able to gain unlimited power for a limited time after performing a [[Bio Leech]] onto an individual. Both of these upgrades are automatically received after reaching the specific Karmic rank. Several other upgrades function the same, and can only be gained once a specific Karmic rank is achieved.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Weaknesses=== |
||
| − | {{Dialogue|[[Zeke Dunbar|Zeke]]|The second you touched it, the electricity in your hand cooks off the gunpowder and the whole thing goes 'KABAM!' Hahaha! The look on your face was priceless.|Cole|Damn near blew my hand off.|Zeke and Cole, recalling a past event.<ref name="inFamous" />}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cole has several weaknesses, most notably his body regulating electricity. Cole is able to store and channel electricity in and out of his body, though it comes from a different power source. Meaning, the energy he is able to produce is limited to the amount of energy his body can store. Cole has to [[Electric Drain|absorb energy]] from a different power source in order to perform the stronger and energy-consuming powers. When out of energy, Cole is only limited to certain powers, and can only perform minimal actions and attacks. Also, Cole's body reacts to the energy that's surrounding him. If energy is absent in the area, Cole's body weakens, which makes him even more vulnerable.<ref name="inFamous" /><ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another weakness he holds involve being submerged into a large body of water. Falling into the middle of the ocean will result in Cole instantly dying, electrocuting himself enough to effectively kill him. When submerged into a waistline-deep body of water, Cole is continuously electrocuted, and will last for as long as he stays there. Cole is only able to withstand small amounts of water, as he is seen able to drink some beverages Zeke has prepared. Cole is also able to stand in a small puddle of water, although this causes the puddle to produce a static field, electrocuting anyone other than Cole that stands in it. However, Cole is able to electrocute any body of water, being able to produce a static field without him being actually there, killing anyone within it. This can be used to Cole's advantage when in the sewers, as several enemies are seen attacking while half of their body is submerged in sewer water.<ref name="inFamous" /><ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Mentioned by Zeke, Cole is unable to use guns, for the gunpowder reacts to the electricity at the palm of his hand, heating it up enough for the gun to explode. However, Cole can use this to his advantage, as he is able to destroy mounted machine guns used by his enemies through the use of electricity, rendering them defenseless. Also mentioned by Zeke, Cole is unable to sit on cars, for the electricity within his body reacts to the car fuel, causing it to explode. Cole however is able to stand on top of cars, perhaps due to his rubber shoes, which the non-conductive surface renders the electricity immobile.<ref name="inFamous" /><ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

| − | ==Appearance== |
||
| − | ===inFamous=== |
||
| − | [[File:ColePose1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Cole, as he appears in [[inFamous]].]] |
||
| − | Cole wears a yellow and black leather jacket, black pants with a pale yellow strip on the right leg, forming a small union jack design on his knee, and a yellow and brown sling bag with his phone attached to the single strap. This sling bag has a sly emblem and the numbers 1 and 3 designed onto it. He has a shaved head with a light stubble beard, and speaks in a gravelly voice. Cole shows a high form of intelligence, and is able to logically deduce the outcomes of any actions he might take. <ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Depending on Cole's choices, his appearance (and powers) will change drastically. <ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Good Karma|Good]]''': Cole retains most his appearance, though he looks cleaner and neater. The electricity that comes out of his body is a light blue, due to his good nature. <ref name="inFamous" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | *'''[[Evil Karma|Evil]]''': Cole gains a much more paler skin, and gets paler to the point of dark gray if he continues to do evil deeds. His clothes deter to gray and black, and jet-black markings that resemble a lightning current start to show around his body, and get more noticeable and darker as he continues his evil deeds. The electricity coming out of him turns to a light red, due to his evil nature. If Cole chose to absorb [[Ray Sphere]] for his self benefit, the electricity turns from light red to jet-black, with a deep red hue that surrounds it. <ref name="inFamous" /> |
||

| − | ===inFamous 2=== |
||
| − | [[File:ColeIF2Look.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Cole, as he appears in [[inFamous 2]].]] |
||
| − | After recovering from his wounds, Cole's attire has been changed to a simple black and yellow t-shirt, paired with black cargo pants that has a white Union Jack design on its right leg, this time spanning his entire leg. Cole's sling bag has also been changed to a simple brown/orange where his new melee weapon (the [[Amp]]) is being kept on a strap attached to his bag. Cole also has tattoos on his arms, that change corresponding to his Karmic state. Cole also gained a scar on the right side of his face some time after dealing with Kessler, and now wears sports shoes ('tabi boots') specifically for parkour.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Like in the first installment, Cole's appearance also changes depending on his choices, though unlike before, the changes appear right after ascending a Karmic rank, and will show a brief cutscene, depicting how the changes are implemented. After the changes have been applied, Cole lets out an electric burst.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''Good''' |
||
| − | *'''[[Guardian]]''': Cole's skin is unchanged, remaining a light tan. His lightning turns to a light blue.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | *'''[[Champion]]''': The scar on his face will start to heal. The inner portion of Cole's shirt is changed to white, with the black areas changing to a very dark, navy blue, and he is given several tattoos akin to stars and wings, representing his good motives. His bag also changes colors to a very light olive drab, and his pants will appear smoother.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | *'''[[Hero]]''': The black portion of Cole's shirt is changed to a light gray, and his lower apparel is changed to track pants. His scar will appear nearly healed completely, and Cole's melee weapon will appear cleaner and shinier.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''Evil''' |
||
| − | *'''[[Thug]]''': Cole's skin and overall appearance will start to turn noticeably pale, appearing a sickly gray. His lightning turns into a light orange red.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | *'''[[Outlaw]]''': The inner portion of Cole's shirt will appear red, and also the Union Jack design on his pants turn to a dark red. His bag changes to a dark olive drab, and is given several tattoos that imply negativity (downward arrowheads and fire motifs, among others). Also, his veins will start to appear, and his scar will start to worsen.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | *'''[[Infamous (rank)|Infamous]]''': Cole's veins will become more noticeable, appearing all over him. His scar will worsen further, and his t-shirt's colors will turn darker, and several rips and holes will appear on them. His pants will also have rips, along with the addition of a darkred belt. The Amp will also appear rustic and dark, with some subtle darkred indents.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

||
| − | {{SecNonCanon}} |
||
| − | ====Talon==== |
||
| − | While ''inFamous'' was still under the code name ''"True Hero"'', the design for Cole started with something more urban looking, and athletic. The design featured Cole's face differently, with thick brown hair, and a leather jacket with a light hooded sweater and black undershirt. He wore some gloves and shin guards, and some light beige pants with a holster. He also had a shotgun with him, and wore boots. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The designer commented that this stylized design was somewhat reminiscent to the ''Sly Cooper'' series. The design was later revised. |
||
| − | ====Gear Wolf==== |
||
| − | Another early design was made for Cole, nicknamed ''"Gear Wolf"''. The concept showed Cole with, again, a full wad of hair. He also wore some aviator-style shades, and wore a red and white vest with a sling bag. He would wear bandages on his forearm, and some motorcycle gloves. He also wore shin guards, cargo shorts, and brown cleats. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The designer admitted that the base idea for the concept was Cole's job as a bike messenger, explaining that pinpointing the facet of the character as a major breakthrough. The design was then later revised. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Chance==== |
||
| − | [[File:Cole design 1.jpg|thumb|200px|Cole's initial design in ''inFamous''.]] |
||
| − | Several concept art of Cole was made under the name of ''"Chance"''. There, Cole wore a sling bag and jacket similar to his ''inFamous'' render. Also, Cole wore black track pants with Japanese characters and the letter "Z" on the right side, with a yellow stripe. Cole also raised the left side of his pants a bit, showing bandages on his leg. He was also bald, and wore a scarf to cover the entirety of his face. He also had a gun kept on his bag's sash. |
||
| − | |||
| − | An early render of this design can be seen at several websites, albeit modified. Cole's sling bag design was more detailed, rendering it a purple/violet and white one with a tribal design at the back. The design on his jacket was also brought into more detail, as the material appeared to be leather padding. He also lost his face scarf. This design was later changed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | An interesting element of this design involved the developers deciding to remove the gun, and come up with a mechanism to render it obsolete, thus giving them the impetus to develop Cole's latter electrical powers, as well as the decision to remove his hair, as baldness was easier to render. |
||

| − | ====inFamous 2 Cole==== |
||
| − | [[File:ColeIF2OrigDes.jpg|thumb|200px|Cole's original design in ''inFamous 2'']] |
||
| − | The first ever image of Cole during ''inFamous 2'' was released to the public, which showed concept art of Cole with thicker hair, and a thicker, more noticeable beard. He wore a simple black T-Shirt, and a black sling bag. Cole wore black track pants with a white Union Jack design by the side, and also used sports shoes specifically designed for parkour. Cole's accessories included bandages, some rope necklaces, and tattoos with designs different from his current tattoos. This design was then rendered in 3D, and was seen in the E3 Gameplay and Debut trailer of ''inFamous 2''. Several other screenshots render Cole with even thicker hair, and also minor changes to his design. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This design was scrapped after a majority of negative fan reactions, due to Cole looking like an entirely different person, barely resembling his original look. |

The couple had two daughters, and lived in an unnamed city (most likely Empire City). During the said timeline, Cole had his powers, and his world was being ravaged by an entity known as "[[The Beast]]". Instead of fighting, he fled from the Beast, even though he had the power to stop him. After years, the Beast had destroyed most of the world, and Kessler was too late to save his family, or anyone else.

After murdering [[Nix]] and his best friend Zeke Dunbar, Cole destroyed the [[Ray Field Inhibitor]] with the Amp, so that no one may threaten them. Then, John admited that he can no longer continue the plan, stating that he cannot fathom the killings any longer. John then decided to transfer his powers to Cole, believing he can carry out the plan. After giving his powers to Cole, the latter began to work immediately, causing a blast to New Marais, wiping out everybody without the [[Conduit]] gene. <ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

||
| − | {{GalleryBox|Cole MacGrath}} |
||
| − | *Cole's last name, MacGrath, is coincidentally similar to the director of an unrelated movie called ''[[Wikipedia:Infamous (film)|Infamous]]'', Douglas McGrath. |
||
| − | *His first name (Cole) is derived from the Old English nickname ''Cola'' "charcoal", denoting a person with dark features, describing him perfectly with his electrokinetic powers. |
||
| − | *Cole's default tattoos in ''inFamous 2'' were the following: |
||
| − | **A decorative armband-like tattoo on his right bicep. |
||
| − | **A modified caduceus on his left forearm, with a sort of gear attached to the staff-like motif of the symbol. |
||
| − | **An Old English-like lettering on his left arm, with the initials "TD" (meaning Trish Dailey). |
||
| − | *Cole wore a different sling bag during his initial confrontation with the Beast. It was brown, similar to the current bag he's wearing, but there were no latches where he can place a melee weapon. Like his other bag, the [[w:c:sly:Sly Cooper|''Sly Cooper'']] logo is present in the bag. <ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||

| − | **The Sly Cooper symbol reappears on Cole's new sling bag in inFamous 2 (both his bag in Empire City and New Marais).<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | **Cole's [[Thunder Drop]] technique might be a reference to "Thunder Flop", a signature move of [[w:c:slycooper:Murray|Murray]], one of the members of Sly Cooper's gang. Both involve falling from a distance and using splash damage. |

| − | *A simple thing such as Cole running or jogging has about twenty animations, for the way human beings change balance when changing directions, to subtle motions in different body parts. |

| − | *inFamous 1's Cole's Good and Evil Karma versions appear as downloadable skins in the multiplayer mode of [[W:C:Uncharted:Uncharted 2: Among Thieves|Uncharted 2: Among Thieves]], along with Zeke, and several other characters from PS3-exclusive games. ''"Good Cole"'' and ''"Zeke"'' are characters on the "Heroes" team, and ''"Evil Cole"'' is a character on the "Villains" team. |

| − | **There are some slight alterations of Evil Cole's design in ''Uncharted 2'' from his original look, as he doesn't have the same pale skin or the the black veins on the back of his head. |

| − | *Cole's backpack in inFamous ran from left to right. However in inFamous 2, it is interesting to note that his shoulder bag goes from right to left. This is possibly due to Cole's Amp and the fact that he draws it out with his right hand. <ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | *Cole is able to purchase and utilize both Positive and Negative abilities, regardless of his Karmic state and rank, after clearing ''inFamous 2'' on both Karmic sides. This feature is most likely non-canon.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |
||
| − | *Cole appears to be ambidextrous, meaning able to use both hands for writing, ect. This is most likely due to Cole being able to change which hand he'll use to shoot by pressing the right analog stick and at several points during the story. This is a trait exhibited by no other character except [[Zeke Dunbar]].<ref name="inFamous" /> Also, in the gameplay trailer of inFamous 2, Cole switches the Amp between his left and right hands, which further suggest that Cole is ambidextrous.<ref name="inFamous 2" /> |

"Ich weiß nicht, ob ihr jemals jemand nach unten gelassen haben, in deinen Arsch getreten oder gerade nach oben gescheitert. Doch, das sind die Momente, die uns definieren. Sie schieben uns, als wir es jemals für möglich gehalten hätten und wir zwingen uns Entscheidungen zu treffen. Egal, was es kostet."
-Cole McGrath, wie er und seine Verbündeten den Weg nach New Marais gemacht haben.
Cole MacGrath war ein einfacher Fahrradkurier, der für jemanden ein Paket lieferte , der irgendwo in der Altstadt von Empire City wohnte. In der Mitte seiner Lieferung explodierte sein Paket jedoch, zerstörte die halbe Stadt und tötete Tausende von Menschen. Allerdings führte diese Explosion dazu , dass Cole die Macht der Elektrokinese gewann.
Cole ist der erste und mit Delsin Rowe die einzigen spielbaren Charaktere.
Biografie[]
Vor der Explosion[]
Vier Jahre zurück, vor seiner Zeit in Empire City, praktiziert Cole das Lernen vom Parkour mit seinem besten Freund Zeke in der Stadt New Marais, wo die Polizisten alle Hände voll zu tun haben. Cole erwähnt in einem Gespräch mit Moya, dass er Schuld war mit der Explosion in Empire City, das ist der Grund, warum er in der Lage ist, um durch die Stadt der Kanalisation mit wenig Mühe zu navigieren. Mehrere Ausführungen von Kessler vorgeschlagen, dass seine Mutter Cole verabscheute die Aufgabe hat, die oft von ihren Freunden erzählt wird, dass Cole ein Lehrer eher als ein Fahrradkurier war. Kessler sagte auch, dass Coles Vater von seiner Beziehung mit Trish Daley genehmigt und kommentiert hat, das sie wie "die Tocher, die er noch nie gehabt hatte" sei. In einem Gespräch mit Nix hatte er gesagt, das Cole einen kleinen Bruder hatte, obwohl er nicht gesprochen hat für eine Weile mit ihm. Coles Ausbildung war etwas, das er auf seinem eigenen Willen beschlossen hatte, aus der Schule fall und einen Job als Fahrradkurier bekommen hatte, "meist nur um seine Eltern zu ärgern".
Geburt eines Conduit[]
Tag der Explosion:[]
Cole hat einen Auftrag bekommen. Er sollte ein Paket in das historische Viertel bringen (später wird gesagt, dass Cole den Job am liebsten gar nicht angenommen hätte). Als er am Parkhaus stand, wurde er angerufen. Eine unbekannte Stimme sagte ihm, er solle das Paket öffnen. Als Cole dies tat, explodierte das Paket. In dem Paket war die Strahlenkugel, welche ihm auf Kosten tausender Leben seine Kräfte gab.
Folge:
Cole erwacht in dem kaputtem Parkhaus. Als er versucht zu fliehen, wird er von freiliegenden Stromkabeln erwischt. Diese hätten ihn normalerweise getötet, jedoch lebte er noch. Als er an der Brücke zum Neonviertel ankommt, bricht er zusammen. Daraufhin erscheinen überall Blitze, die alles in der Nähe zerstören. Cole muss ins Krankenhaus, wo er behandelt wird. Als er erwacht, ist die Stadt in Trümmern. Jedoch hat er nun Fähigkeiten, die es ihm ermöglichen, die Stadt zu retten, oder zu zerstören.
Die ersten Tage:
Cole lernt schnell wie er seine Kräfte nutzen kann. it:Cole MacGrath pt-br:Cole MacGrath
