Backstory
Never Fade Away
Cole was Rose’s son with an unknown man who was little more than one of many, many flings. When Cold was born, Rose softened and left behind her life of barhopping and partying to settle down under the protection of Mystery’s Inc’s witness protection program. Cole’s childhood was a fever dream of moving from place to place and changing schools every six months. They settled longest in a group home in Trestvan where Rose got a job waitressing tables at the Idol Ox while Cole went to school. Cole’s curiosity as to his mother’s early life led him to finding her instruments which he became obsessed with. Cole was a natural born musician, inheriting his mother’s swagger and playing ability.
When Rose passed away, Cole was taken in by Andol and Whisper until he found a confident direction in life. During this time he played nonstop, often playing private shows for his best friends Hugo and Elias while his little sister Imogen listened from upstairs. Cole started by playing small shows at carnivals and taverns, playing his mother’s music he found amongst her belongings. Over the course of a year, Cole started a band that implemented the first known use of electric instruments. With all that, Cole and his band, We Are the Danger, played a sold out show at Donovans Memorial Garden and shocked hundreds with the realm’s first rock music. It was loud, unapologetic, and vulgar, and met with fierce scrutiny from traditional music enthusiasts. But it spoke to the younger generation who felt wildly unheard and tossed aside. He challenged the nobility, men of wealth and power, Cole became the realm’s first rockerboy.
At the height of the Merchant Conflict, Cole was drafted as a rifleman and bore witness to what one man could do to another. When he returned, he left to start a solo tour, playing melodic, angsty music directed towards the corporations and nobility and he believed too readily sent the young to die. Cole’s new sound was met with accusations of him getting soft, and with pleas to return to the alt rock scene. But Cole felt he had finally found himself, and was enjoying music not catered to anyone, but a sound all of his own. It’s said that Cole retired completely, and lives out a life of comfort in the high-rises of Meadowcraft where he spends his days in isolation, playing music and nothing but. Perhaps searching for that perfect song he’s been chasing all these years.
