Cole

From Mass Effect Wiki

Cole is a human farmer on Eden Prime. He had a small stake in a local smuggling ring: his contact, Powell, paid him to store packages in his sheds. When the attack began, Cole and two other farmers, including a man named Blake, were working the crops. They saw the 'mothership' that carried the geth and ran for the nearest shed, hoping to find a weapon in the smuggler's packages. They were forced to lock themselves in to hide from the geth troops swarming around outside.

After Commander Shepard's squad eliminates the remaining hostiles in the area, Shepard can decrypt the security lock and meet Cole. He gives a description of the 'mothership', and reports of a horrible noise that was emanating from it, which strangely sounded "like it was coming from inside your own head". After talking to him, Blake will suggest that Cole "give the soldiers the stuff", much to Cole's annoyance.

If investment in Charm or Intimidate is high enough, Shepard can then persuade Cole to hand over an upgrade in addition to the pistol that he found, and even provide the name of his contact at the docks.

Cole is voiced by Chris Edgerly.
