==Summary==
Always the knight in shining armor, Dale Cooper is a man with a mission - that mission being solving the Laura Palmer case. A highly decorated and competent agent of the FBI, Dale is put in charge of a case that appears at first to be merely another in a string of serial murders, but quickly spirals out of control, leading him down an easter egg hunt of clues which cause him to track down what is eventually discovered as the extradimensional entity known only as BOB. In trying to solve such a "Blue Rose" case along with his colleague and contemporary Major Garland Briggs, Cooper enters the enigmatic "Black Lodge", where, after his double replaces him in the main world, he is cursed to reside for the next 25 years, alongside myriad spirits such as MIKE, The Arm, and the ghost of Laura Palmer.
25 years later, he seems to have won the respect of the spirits, and is hellbent on what might seem like a quest to defeat an extreme negative force known as JUDY. After leaving the lodge through a gateway into nonexistence and the mysterious Mauve Zone, just barely avoiding what is only known as "Mother", he is ejected into the real world, replacing his Double's tulpa. He makes it his mission to destroy his Double, and BOB who has possessed him, and in so doing wins an audience with the illustrious Phillip Jeffries, who sends him back in time to change the circumstances of the entire weird narrative thrust upon him by Senorita Dido and The Fireman.

Intelligence: Cooper is a highly intelligent and extremely perceptive individual, considered fit to be part of the Blue Rose Task Force, a classified group designed specifically to deal with the lingering anomalies and abstractions leftover from the government's meddling with extranormal forces, which were allegedly complex enough such that the rest of the bureau was deemed unprepared to approach them, with the very members of the Task Force being implied to excel at multiple academic areas. His intellect was then further sharpened after his undefined time in the Lodge, and the death of his doppelgänger, whereupon he acquired a degree of knowledge regarding the nature of the Lodge, and achieved spiritual perfection, gaining awareness over the nature of existence as a "dream" or a "story"
