Personality
Marcus Cole joined the Rangers after the death of his brother, who was himself a Ranger, and Cole appears to blame himself for his brother's death. Delenn mentions at one point that Cole's reasons for joining the Rangers may have been motivated more by personal guilt than by a true desire to serve, and that this may have ultimately accounted for his tragic fate. Cole is a fearsome opponent in combat - his skill with the Minbari fighting pike is well-known. He is a virgin, which raises the eyebrows of Commander Susan Ivanova; she does not learn until it is too late that one reason he has remained a virgin is because he loves her and is waiting to win her heart.

Famous quotes containing the word personality:
“It is in our interests to let the police and their employers go on believing that the Underground is a conspiracy, because it increases their paranoia and their inability to deal with what is really happening. As long as they look for ringleaders and documents they will miss their mark, which is that proportion of every personality which belongs in the Underground.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Western man represents himself, on the political or psychological stage, in a spectacular world-theater. Our personality is innately cinematic, light-charged projections flickering on the screen of Western consciousness.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“I am what is mine. Personality is the original personal property.”
—Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)
