During the march to reclaim Prart, he and his fellow nobles, were stationed in the right wing of the united army, before then continuing onto Hoburns. He received word from a messenger that Remedios Custodio had slain the Scale Demon. As the soldiers spread-ed the news, Cohen was overjoyed that an enemy commander had been eliminated. Marquis Bodipo then spoke to Count Cohen about using the remaining demi-humans as tools to weaken the southern nobles that declined to join them in the north by forcing them south. Cohen was aware of the benefits of such actions and initially acted shocked at the idea. But after hearing the Marquis's reasoning, he flowered him with flattery and praise. He feigned fear of such an idea being discovered only to have the Marquis, assure him that those present in company were loyal. However before he could delve any further with his colleagues that he brought from the south, Jaldabaoth attacked.

When a plan was made to eliminate the demi-humans that were left of Demi-Human Alliance, he was skeptical that the demon would retreat bereft of his forces. He suggested that they should negotiate, only to earn himself a chorus of laughter.Overlord Volume 13 Chapter 7: Savior of the Nation

== Quotes ==
* (To Marquis Bodipo): "Truly splendid, Marquis-sama. We are truly fortunate that the commander of the unit facing us in this battle -- in the same battle as us -- has been eliminated."
* (To Marquis Bodipo): "Is, is that so? But, there are too many uncertain elements if we just let the demihumans flee to the South. In that case, why not press them to their wits' end, and then forge a secret pact with the demihumans...?"
* (To Marquis Bodipo): "I object. Jaldabaoth might not leave even after we kill the demihumans. However, he might kill all of us as a souvenir first before he goes."
* (To Caspond Bessarez): "A moment please, Your Highness! All I'm saying is that fighting is not our only option! I just meant to say that there's a possibility we might be able to negotiate with him, that's all!"
