Background
Many memories flow through the mind of Cog. Sometimes only images or parts of conversations and meetings. Other lives come into focus a lot stronger. But it has only been a short time being one of the Champions, and much remains just below the surface of his awareness.

Flashes of a previous life often appear in dreams. One where COG was part of the Meticulous Surgeons of the Body Electric during a very dangerous epidemic of an unknown disease. His previous incarnation appearantly worked and succeeded on finding a cure, even though orders were to quarantine those afflicted and wait it out. He finally died while bringing the cure to some of the outer towns. He did not survive the dangers, but his cure saved many.

Another life was being part of the Illustrious Conductors of the Consecrated Veins in Kamak, often out on missions to get the very rare resources needed. Some flashes suggest going beyond the given orders to get that extra rare stuff lying just beyond in that slightly too dangerous area, and getting away with it alive.

Many other flashes, of different times and places, show up. Not all of them make sense yet, many never will. But they all seem to show two things. Knowledge is a very useful tool, and COG's previous incarnations have never been afraid to use it and think outside of the box.

Personality
COG is not used to social situations and standing on the forefront. He much prefers to find himself with a challenging problem that needs to be solved, on which he can focus all his mental resources. Both his movements and his speech show a preference for quick and to the point. If he gets the choice between being diplomatic or stating something flat out, he will most likely do the latter, at least until he learns that the former might be more beneficial.

Appearance
When COG is not wearing his Armor, he is commonly dressed in typical Kamaki fashion. Often the only visible parts are the eyes and the soulgem, with the rest of his face covered behind a scarf, which can easily be removed. He prefers to wear dark blue and purple colors.

A notable exception is when he is inside with friends. There he removes his outer clothes and reveals his face. He still prefers blues and purples, but mostly the brighter versions. His general clothing style is still relative subdued compared to other Kamaki in similar circumstances.
