Villain Overview

Cole: My goodness, pretending to be human is exhausting. Who knew that chancellor was just another word… for royal babysitter?! I had meant to keep up the ruse a bit longer. But you pushed me to this, Princess. Bringing in the boy and the engineer didn't help either.
Zelda: What are you talking about?
Cole: [sighs] I'm talking about your infernal meddling! But now that those vile tracks are disappearing, the time is finally at hand! All we need now is… A little help-- hee hee-- from you, Your Highness!
~ Chancellor Cole revealing his true colors as a demon.
Nyee hee hee! Thank you for your help. But you are too gullible, my friend. Don't you know that he will never give you new power? After all… You were once the servant of those disgusting spirits. What a buffoon you are. Thank you for your help, indeed, you blind fool! Now then, Your Majesty! Let us sacrifice these base creatures to your glory!
~ Cole betraying Byrne.

Chancellor Cole is the main antagonist of the 2009 action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

He is a manipulative politician and an advisor to the Royal Family of New Hyrule, whom Princess Zelda is suspicious of. Revealed to be a demonic servant of the Demon King Malladus, Cole proceeds to murder Zelda and plots to use her body as a vessel to revive Malladus and conquer New Hyrule.

Biography[]

He was the royal adviser to Zelda until she decided to investigate why the Spirit Tracks were disappearing. She had gotten on a train with Link which soon became derailed due to the disappearing tracks. He is the one who actually killed Zelda using a shot of darkness. He wore two green hats to cover up his twin horns. His right-hand man was Byrne, until Cole betrays him.

His plan was to resurrect the demon king, Malladus, and eventually succeeded, although his plan to have Malladus possess Zelda's body was foiled, so Malladus possessed Cole instead, turning into a large demonic beast. When Zelda was revived, and she and Link destroyed Malladus, Cole was destroyed along with him.

Quotes[]

Cole: Out for a leisurely stroll, Your Highness? Tsk, tsk, tsk! You know that's not allowed!
Zelda: Allowed by who? You, Chancellor Cole?
Cole:
Who else? Who do you think is really in charge?'
~ Cole revealing himself to Zelda.
Cole: I'm very disappointed in you, Byrne.
Byrne: What?! Why?!
Cole: Even those children proved to be too much for you. Well, at least you bought us some time. Behold! The Demon King's return draws nigh!
~ Cole after Byrne loses to Link and Zelda.
Congratulations on your resurrection, Your Majesty!
~ Cole after resurrecting Malladus.
Your Majesty? Please, no!
~ Cole's last words before being possessed by Malladus against his will.
Do not fear, Your Majesty. You simply aren't used to your new body yet. None of you can stop us!
~ Cole as he escapes with Malladus.
