Cole, originally known as Minoth (Japanese: ミノチ, Minochi), is a character in 异度神剑 2. He is an elderly man who lives in Fonsa Myma, the capital of the Kingdom of Uraya. He is a playwright, and the 领导 of the troupe that performs at the Mymoma Playhouse. He is the caretaker of Iona, and used to be a mercenary along with 凡达姆. He is also a Flesh Eater; his Blade 武器 are a pair of daggers, although he is only known to possess one at the time he meets Rex.

In Torna ~ The Golden Country, Minoth (his former name) is a Special Legendary Blade. He can grant tremendous power to Addam and his allies. Minoth uses the dark element, wields Gunknives, and acts as an Attacker in battle.

Personality

Cole is brash and straightforward, although when dealing with sensitive topics will tone himself down. His status as a Flesh Eater allows him to wander Alrest freely without being hindered by his Driver being far away, so Cole spends most of his time as far from Amalthus as possible, having seen his nature and hatred.

Appearance

As Minoth, he is a young man with long brown hair in a jagged ponytail and a brown scar across one eye. He wears brown cowboy-esque attire, and has a blue and red core crystal on his chest shaped like a 盾.

As Cole, he has deteriorated; he is visibly older, with a stouter figure, darker skin and short hair. Although he retains his scar, nothing else 其它 than one of his gunknives remains of his Blade form. He wears a cloak to hide his body.

Story

Aegis War

Minoth with Amalthus

Minoth originally is awakened as a Blade of Amalthus, although he later becomes a Flesh Eater using technology from Judicium. Although the technology allows him to operate independently of Amalthus, Minoth soon 嫌疑犯 that the experiment that turned him into a Flesh Eater was a failure. Minoth eventually learns of Amalthus's hatred towards humanity and the latter's ideas of equating the world with Hell. After Amalthus awakens Malos, the consequent destruction disgusts Minoth, leading him to despise Amalthus and actively avoid the Quaestor.

Two years after his last meeting with Amalthus, Minoth hears rumors of Addam and Mythra heading to Auresco, capital of the Kingdom of Torna. He then 加入 Addam and Mythra, along with Lora, Jin, Haze, 雨果, Brighid, and Aegaeon in their efforts to stop Malos. During his time with the group, Minoth allows Addam to make use of his Blade abilities in a Driver-like fashion. Minoth agrees to keep Jin and Lora's secret and suggests that all Drivers and Blades should strive to have as strong a bond as those two.

Fonsa Myma

Cole with Iona

After the Aegis War, Minoth renames himself Cole; he and 凡达姆 become freelance mercenaries. Eventually, the two part ways, with 凡达姆 joining the Garfont Mercenaries and Cole settling down as a playwright in Fonsa Myma. True to his suspicions, the Flesh Eater technology robs Cole of the effective immortality experienced by 其它 Blades, and by the time Rex meets him, he has aged significantly since the Aegis War.

凡达姆 plans to take Rex to meet Cole in Fonsa Myma, who he thinks can help Rex reach Elysium. Iona, Cole's adopted 孙女, takes them to Cole, who has begun producing plays at Mymoma Playhouse. He agrees to help Rex reach Elysium. After Mythra reawakens at the Olethro Ruins, Cole reveals himself as a Flesh Eater to Rex and the 其它. He lost his immortality, however, and was unable to gain any unique abilities. He gives Rex his old Gunknife and tells him that his Driver, Amalthus, will be able to help him.

Quotes

Torna ~ The Golden Country - Post-Battle Dialogue

Haze	"异刃连击, third stage!"
Lora	"Awesome!"
Minoth	"Why does that sound so familiar?"

Minoth	"You're quite the skilled woman at arms, Lora! Still not quite a match for my experience, though."
Lora	"Oh you think so, do you? I'm not gonna take that lying down. Come on! Arm wrestling time!"
Minoth	"Arm wrestling?! N-no, thank you, that won't be necessary."

Minoth	"Sorry about that. I wasn't paying enough attention."
Lora	"Don't worry yourself. We all make mistakes."
Addam	"Oh, diddums. Shall I kiss it better for you?"
Minoth	"Stuff a sock in it, clown!"

Addam	"That was flashy as hell. Do that again, would you?"
Minoth	"I don't see the need to show off without any eligible girls around."
Addam	"Oh Minoth, you're so dreamy. Could I have your autograph?~"
Minoth	"Oh keep talking, funny man, you'll get what's coming to you!"

Lora	"Is everyone alright? No injuries?"
Minoth	"Hmpf, do we really have the time to get all soft right now?"
雨果	"He means "Thank you for your concern"."
Minoth	"Hey, I can speak for myself, thank you very much."

Jin	"It looks like I'm on dinner duty tonight. Does anyone have any requests?"
Addam	"Meat!"
Minoth	"Meat!"
Jin	"Understood. Let me consider our options."

Jin	"Ha. That's that then."
Minoth	"You two work well together. Jin! You better hold on to a driver like her."
Jin	"Yes. I don't need you to tell me that."

Minoth	"Travel truly broadens the mind. You get to see a side of yourself you might never have met otherwise."
Jin	"A new side of oneself… You think some 有趣 thoughts, Minoth."
Minoth	"Nothing can ever happen twice. In consequence, and so on."

Minoth	"Life has been bustling lately. We've become like one big family."
Addam	"You never have the time to feel lonely anymore!"
Minoth	"Stop trying to make this weird for me."
Addam	"Ahah, I humbly apologize."

Minoth	"The leading edge of History is less like a sword, and more like a bullet."
Brighid	"I don't think I can take that lying down. Can you, Jin?"
Jin	"Doesn't matter. In any age, it's the wielder's skill, and skill alone, that really counts."

Minoth	"Jin, Aegaeon! Shouldn't you be happier about our victories?"
Jin	"Ha."
Aegaeon	"Hm…"
Minoth	"Oh boy."

Haze	"Your Imperial Majesty, you carry yourself with such an elegance!"
雨果	"If you had heard "The emperor does not slouch!" every day for eighteen years, you would carry yourself just as well."
Minoth	"Unlike a certain prince I could but will not name?"

Minoth	"Young Master 雨果, we're not going too fast for your young 下身, are we?"
雨果	"I'm perfectly fine! You do not need to worry about me."
Minoth	"That's good to hear! Just let me know if the going gets tough."

Minoth	"The bond between driver and Blade is some powerful stuff."
Aegaeon	"I would gladly excel at any chores His Majesty would entrust me with."
雨果	"Is… that what we're calling a bond now?"

Minoth	"Aegaeon, you and your teammates are great at 「该去做的事」."
Aegaeon	"Thank you, Master Minoth. You and your companions also moved as one."
Minoth	"You- wha- Please tell me you're kidding."

Condition: After departure from the Militia Garrison
Addam	"You're really something, you know that, Jin? We really must spar, sometime. In fact, I insist."
Minoth	"Everybody hates a nag friend. Isn't that right, Jin?"
Jin	"I wouldn't say "hate", exactly."
Addam	"It doesn't have to be right now, obviously. But it has to happen."

Condition: After Lora becomes a knight of Torna
Minoth	"I'll have to jot down some notes on the last fight."
Haze	"Master Minoth, will we become characters in your new play?"
Minoth	"Perhaps? But these are just some very rough sketches since I don't even have a stage to set it on yet."

Condition: After Lora becomes a knight of Torna
Addam	"Another stepping stone to victory."
Minoth	"Alright, Addam, put that emotion into a song for us!"
Addam	"Ahem. ♪~Ooh, Torna, glorious Torna, the wounds I've borne for thee!~♪ Oh damn you Minoth, now it's stuck in my head!"
Minoth	"At least now we know you can carry a tune, though!"

Condition: After Lora becomes a knight of Torna
Aegaeon	"Minoth, did you see the way His Majesty prevailed in the last fight? Wasn't it quite… magnificent?"
Minoth	"Hm, yeah, I suppose it was."
Aegaeon	"Well, in that case…"
Minoth	"In that case why don't I make him the protagonist of one of my plays, yes? Sure thing. I'll consider it. At least."
