Cole Anderson is a character from the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series of video games.
He is one of a number of playable characters in the original Ghost Warrior, where he is ranked as a Private and is a delta force operator, engaging long range missions and stealth assignments.
By the time of Ghost Warrior 2 he is ranked as a Captain. In the sequel he plays the role of a Private Security Consultant and is once again a playable character.
Anderson grew up in Alaska, where he was able to learn the skills of hunting, marksmanship, and tracking from an early age thanks to the harsh conditions in the wilderness there.
His father was an officer in the Marines during Vietnam (a war in which he subsequently died), whilst his mother continued to care from him at home.
Anderson was forced to become self-reliant at an early age. After school he joined the Marines and quickly began training as a sniper.
