Augustus Cole is a fictional character in the video game series Gears of War.
Augustus Cole, aka "The Cole Train", is a former professional "Thrashball" player for the Cougars. It is not explained exactly what Thrashball is, but its terminology and social aspects make it seem like a close cousin of American football. Members of the stranded as well as fellow COG soldiers often recognize him based off of his Thrashball days. He craves action and prefers the most direct path to his next fight. What he lacks in finesse, he makes up for in raw energy. Along with his child-like enthusiasm and charm, Cole is confident in his own abilities to overcome anything. He has yet to be proven wrong. Cole is member of Alpha squad but joins Delta Squad during Act 1, and teams up with Baird or Dom when the team splits up. He is voiced by Lester Speight, a.k.a. the Mighty Rasta.
