Bio
A former member of the military's disbanded HOLY unit for Alter users, who still works independently within the military while pursuing his own aims - which include helping the Syndicate by providing intel and generally being awesome. He watches over Cille in the weeks following Raef's kidnapping, and leaves her notes that keep her from falling into the wrong hands and guide her to the Syndicate. He's obsessed with speed, bad with names, and definitely someone you want to have on your side. After Cille's murder, he is overcome with grief and regret at his inability to protect her, and uses his speed to turn back time to rescue her. He feels very drawn to Cille, but feels some dismay at the prospect of falling in love with his friend's fiancee. Is being hunted down by Blaken.
Chapter Guide
Cougar leaves Cille a note in a bouquet of tiger lilies, and then stands her up while her apartment is trashed. After she strikes out on her own, he leaves her another note that leads her to him. After a lively car ride and a confrontation in which they test each other's loyalties, Cougar brings Cille to a Syndicate meeting and introduces her to the group. At the end of the meeting he reveals Ozzal's plan for handing Actonia over to Comedia as part of her diabolical world-domination scheme.
Cougar is confronted by his old comrade Ryuho, who thrashes him and arrests Cille.
Cougar, full of grief and remorse over his inability to protect Cille's life, uses his tremendous speed to literally "shorten the world" and turn back time so that he can come to her aid. The two of them manage to fight off Spice, and escape with the help of some of Cougar's former HOLY comrades. The experience brings the two of them closer together, but Cougar can't help but wonder if what he is beginning to feel for Cille is a betrayal of his old friend Landon.
Cougar comforts Cille, who is upset by the news story of her death.
