We meet Cole after he was stalking our opening character. He is outsmarted by her, but soon learns that she relies on distractions to get an upper hand. Later while being set up for ambush by her, he figures she would do the same. Learning very quickly, unlike his colleges who charge after her. While the ambush works for them, Cole gets the upper hand and surprises Rebecca. Capturing her, and taking her as prisoner back to the Marauders.

***SPOILERS***

Cole is our antagonist. He represents opposition to the protagonist’s goal, which is ultimately survival. He not only wants to kill the protagonist, he really wants to kill their way of life. He is furious that a woman would be smarter than him. His fury drives him to abandon everything to enact his retribution.

Once he captures Rebecca he starts to torture her. The gang asks him to question her to learn of her shelter HQ so they can plunder it. He could not cares less about plundering, he wants to destroy all of her. Discovering she has a family, he tells her he won’t kill her until after he has killed each of them. He allows Rebecca to escape and the Marauders to fall, and stalks her to the Sanctuary where he sets her and her family up to be ambushed. His only desire is to utterly destroy Rebecca and all she cares for.

An inspiration for Cole is Kruger from Elysium. Specifically his disregard for the rules. As Kruger kills his own boss to chase down Max, Cole has this same sort of blind rage.

He kills the man who killed Rebecca’s husband because he was about to kill her. Not to save her, but so that he could be the one to kill her. Rebecca is unaware until he reveals he was the one who killed the man who killed her husband. As both gangs descend upon the Sanctuary in a bloody gang war, he kills several members of Sanctuary and traps Rebecca and her daughters. The story comes down to a bloody battle between the two. Outsmarted one final time by Rebecca, he is killed, but not before he has seriously wounded\beaten her.

The fight scene between Max and Kruger in the movie Elysium is a major influence for the he end fight scene between Rebecca and Cole .
