 * HistoryText            = Cole Cash is a field operative with over a decade of experience to call upon.

Cole received combat training from Lucy Blaze. Subsequently, he was part of "Project Thunderbook", a mysterious I.O. initiative headed by John Lynch, which taught him more. However, the project was shuttered when Lynch left the agency, with most of its records sealed or destroyed.

Cole was a field operative in good standing, first as part of a squad, then as a solo operative. He was presumed dead ten years ago in the field.

However, under unknown circumstances, he was recruited by Jacob Marlowe to be part of a group that would curtail the efforts of I.O. and similar conspiracies.

Everyone Is Looking Up
Cole and the rest of his group were sent to rescue Angie Spica, an I.O. engineer who had publicly used advanced technology. Cole tried to organize and lead the mission, which in the end only succeeded thanks to the teleport power and humanistic approach of his comrade, Adri Tereshkova.

Lux Mentis, Lux Orbis
Cole was subsequently tasked with planning the sabotage of an I.O. blacksite, Hightower. In the course of that, he was contacted, via code, by Lucy Blaze, now an investigator for Skywatch, who informed him that IO had identified him during the rescue mission, but was convinced he had betrayed them to Skywatch (as Skywatch was the only group theyy knew of who had teleport equipment).
