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:
“The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?”
—Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)
