Hello. Today will be my next offer for the status of an NPG, and it is dedicated to Cole MacGrath.

What's the work?[]

InFamous is a series of adventure video games that tell the story of the adventures of Cole McGrath, Delsin Rowe and Abigail "Sneaky" Walker, super—powered "guides" who must decide their own fate.

Who is he?[]

Cole MacGrath is the main character of the video games InFamous and InFamous 2. He is a guy with superpowers, his main ability is electricity, in InFamous 2 he also gets partial control over ice and napalm. Cole also has an excellent command of parkour.

His Good Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]

In General[]

  • He is very noble, always saves people and tries not to destroy anything with his strength so that others do not suffer.
  • His dearest people are his ex—girlfriend Trish Daly and his best friend Zeke Dunbar, and he does everything possible to protect them from any danger.

InFamous[]

  • He did not know that there was a powerful ray sphere in his package, and therefore he opened it, which led to the explosion of the city and the death of thousands of people. Then again, it wasn't Cole's fault at all.
  • He and Zeke tried to escape from epidemic Empire City, however they were caught by the police. Zeke manages to escape, but Cole is captured by FBI agent Moe Johnson, who offers him a deal: "go back to the city, find the Ray Sphere and Agent John White," who investigated the First Sons and their leader Kessler.
  • He defeats the villainous group of Reapers, thereby preventing their plans to spread the epidemic throughout the city and turn the inhabitants into Reapers to serve them.
  • He saved Trish and friends when they were almost blown up by Alden.
  • He defeated Alden, thus thwarting his plan to use the Ray Sphere for terror.
  • He saved six doctors that Kessler was going to kill.
  • He mourned Trish when she was dying, and she said before she died that she was proud of what he had done for the city.
  • He destroyed the Ray Sphere so that others would not use it for evil.
  • He fought and defeated Kessler, after which the latter reveals that he is a future version of Cole, and that in the future the world will be attacked by a Beast that Cole decides to stop.

InFamous 2[]

  • He fought and temporarily defeated the Beast when it was trying to destroy the entire city.
  • He was going to stop John (who had become a Beast) from destroying the entire population of the Earth, who were not guides.
  • He sacrificed his life to defeat the Beast and prevent its plan to destroy all ordinary people in the world, and activated the inhibitor so that all the guides in the world died, including Cole himself, because it was the only way to save the whole world. However, there was a hint at the end that Cole might have come back to life.

Infamous: Festival of Blood[]

  • After learning that there were many injured people in the old abandoned temple, he went there, where he cured everyone.
  • Although, after becoming a vampire, he began to attack people and drink their blood, he did it against his will, because the vampire essence strongly influenced him, and Bloody Mary encouraged him to do this. And besides, he's shocked by what he became when he was infected with vampirism.
  • He saved the whole city from the vampire invasion.
  • He defeated Bloody Mary, thus preventing her plan to enslave the entire city. After that, Cole returned to human form.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]

  • He's a bit mischievous and cocky, because according to him, he dropped out of college in the first place to annoy his parents, and apparently he didn't regret it.

Explanation[]

Cole's identity in the game depends on the player's actions. A kind of karma also affects a character's abilities. The "evil" Cole has more destructive and bloody techniques. And the "good" Cole minimizes harm to "civilians", over time they can be treated, and they will begin to provide Cole with all possible assistance. Cole's karma in inFamous 2, unlike the first part, changes a lot in the events of the story, including the ending of the game. The "evil" Cole does not care about the innocent at all and is ready to kill them if they find themselves in the line of fire, and in the ending of the second part he joins the Beast altogether, and together with him destroys billions of innocent people all over the World, thereby turning into a full-fledged villain without any special positive qualities. However, I managed to find out that the "Evil" version of Cole and the bad ending of the second part are not really canonical, so it is the "Good" version of Cole that should be considered to determine the heroic status.

Final Verdict[]

I'll tell him YES.
