[color=red][b]Age:[/b][/color] 34(was changed at 26) 

[color=red][b]Bio:[/b][/color] Born and raised in Manhattan, Cole grew up in the Lower East Side of the city with his mother and younger brother, Jonathan. His mother, Caitlyn, raised her two children after their father died though she would not tell the boys how until they were much older. Cole always got into fights at school due to his brother being bullied as Jonathan was not as social as his brother. The two brother had each others backs and when it was time to go to college the Harlands were the life of every party. Jonathan became more of a socialite and Cole, while still an avid partygoer, began to focus more energy into his studies. 

After college the brothers didn't really have much. While Cole was more than willing to get a job Jonathan was leaning towards more illegal sources of pay. Cole, being the big brother, felt the need to watch his brother's back like the old days and so the two worked together for soemtime in the underworld of Manhattan. Guarding shipments, transporting drugs, collecting protection money, the usual mob business.

It wasn't until Cole was twenty-six that things would start to get ugly. Jonathan was getting ambitious and was soon making big moves in the underworld. Cole wanted to get out but to do that he and his brother had to pull one more job. It was a classic snatch and grab, apparently this guy owed someone a large abount of money and need to be taught a lesson. The brothers chased him down and into an alleyway, they thought they had him cornered but that's when everything went to hell. Something was there with them in the dark. It killed the guy they were chasing and then attacked the Harlands. Cole woke up in the Coven of House Blackmoore but he never found out the fate of his brother. 

Cole desperately searched for Jonathan, using his brother's sources and contacts he scoured the city but there was no word of his younger brother...it's been almost a decade. 

[color=red][b]Personality:[/b][/color]As a result of his experiences during childhood Cole is a very tough guy. He rarely lets his emotions cloud his judgement and not many are able to see the true him, the side that is hurting after the loss of his brother.

When not on business however Cole can be an entertaining friend. When not working for the family he spends his times either at nightclubs, bars, or any place that has drinks, music, and women. Attaining immortality has change the way he goes about living his life. He is not so much worried about the future as he has all the time to plan for it. His desire to hold onto that immortality has made him capable of doing whatever is necessary to continue being immortal. To put it simply Cole is hurt, but thanks to his immortality he has a lifetime to drink his sorrows away which makes him willing to do anything to keep that gift.

[color=red][b]Power:[/b][/color] Cole has the ability to cause anything he touches to decay at an accelerated rate. This depends on the size, thickness, and material of the object. Humans can be decomposed in about one minute. Things like a car or any inorganic material would take slightly longer from a minute and a half to two minutes. 

[color=red][b]Side:[/b][/color]While Cole has no hatred for humans he does not wish for any sort of assimilation or for them to discover vampires. He fears they will react as they have in the past when faced with the unknown which is with violence.
