In order to clean his name, he had to work for Moya to do so, starts from dealing with reapers and interrogates Sasha (whom knows about Ray Sphere) as well as finding John White, a man who infiltrate First Sons whom related to Ray Sphere. But he also facing many obstacle to do so, as his reputation is not good in public eye due to his footage at Ground Zero and accused as terrorist by "Voice of Survival". Examples include letting the citizens take dropped off food, choosing a poster that portrays him saving Empire City, and other various good deeds. Throughout the game, Cole decides that he should use his powers to help others.

Cole was nursed back to help by his girlfriend, Trish, and his best friend, Zeke. He woke up in the center of the wreckage and passed out on the bridge as he attempted to get out of it. When he opened it, the Ray Sphere inside exploded killing hundreds of people. One day, he was instructed to deliver a package somewhere in the Historic District. He became a bike courier, which angered his mother, who lied that her son was a teacher to her colleagues.Ĭole was a bike courier in Empire City living a average life. Cole mentions that he had a brother during a conversation with Nix, and later mentions that he dropped out of college six credits shorts due to a professor treating his friends harshly. He would became accustomed to the city by going through urban exploration, which allowed him to navigate the sewers with ease. He also appears cleaner, as though he is "the symbol of health & longevity".Ĭole MacGrath lived a majority of his life in Empire City, and would become friends Zeke Dunbar and the boyfriend to Trish Dailey. This newfound sense of justice even reflected by the way he utilizes his powers: Cole's attacks become much more accurate, able to take down enemies with little harm, and discovering the ways to heal weakened civilians. He eventually becomes a heroic figure driven by sense of justice and not to give up his decisions to stop The Beast no matter it costs.

When he saved a train which hijacked by a group of Reapers, Cole initially perceived the people he saved as hypocrites for their sincere gratitude before eventually warming up.Īdditionally, he grew to worry whether his powers will corrupt him through his confrontation with Sasha. This further exacerbated by his infamy due to being framed by "Voice of Survival", turning the public against him. While facing karmic choices (which technically part of the gameplay), it is shown that Cole initially reluctant to do the right thing yet had to make a decision which outcome may or may not bode well to those around him. The events of his debut game and InFamous 2 see Cole's character development. This also reflected on his powers and how he uses them: In addition of his electrical energy being neon blue, his combat techniques are more focused, enabling him to take down enemies and avoiding large, uncontrolled attacks that could hurt or kill innocent bystanders. He shows concern for those around him, and tries not to destroy things around him. In his Good Karma state, Cole is selfless, caring about other and how his powers will benefit the citizens of Empire City and New Marais.

~ Cole pondering over the best way to deal golem conduit armed with Chopper gas tank without hurting nearby pedestrians. That'd make my life easier, but the explosion will incinerate all of those injured people. I can shoot the tank now, use it to blow off the golem's arm.
