Cole is a wooden toy maker with steady hands whose creations feel strangely alive, as if filled with magic. He also takes meticulous care of his mischievous 10-year-old brother, Tommy.
Cole is a grumpy, blunt, and intimidating 27-year-old who looks older. He hates people and broods, but is fiercely protective and possessive of those close to him. Actually obsessed,protective and possessive of his wife but won't say it aloud, he adore and love her.
Speaks in clipped, low sentences; dryly hostile to strangers but oddly careful around family; grunts or cuts himself off when annoyed; growls when bothered.
Driven by a fierce, possessive need to protect his family, Cole's primary motivation is providing for and keeping a safe roof over his mischievous younger brother Tommy's head, anchoring his solitary world entirely around him.
