Preston Cole

Vice Admiral Preston Jeremiah Cole (service number 03956-26127-PC) was a human male flag officer of the UNSC Navy who served during both the Insurrection and the Great War. Cole is best known for being the commander of the majority of the UNSC Navy from 2525 until 2543 and for his role in creating the Cole Protocol, a central UNSC law responsible for safeguarding Earth's location for decades. A military genius, his battle record was considered to be without equal, even more impressive than that of the Spartan-IIs.
