Cole was a Human operative of Section 31 in the 2370s.

During the Dominion War, Cole posed as a Doctor Murdock and was assigned to work on New Beijing along with Doctor Ethan Locken. It was there that he befriended the genetically enhanced human, and is suspected to have orchestrated the events that led to the massacre of the colony's inhabitants by the Jem'Hadar as well as the survival of Locken. No evidence has surfaced to confirm this allegation.

In 2376, he approached Julian Bashir and told him of Ethan Locken's activities on Sindorin. After Bashir's successful mission in neutralizing Locken and his Jem'Hadar soldiers, Cole led the Section 31 night strike team that leveled the compound and ensured that no data left the compound.

By 2382, Cole's responsibility for recruiting Bashir into Section 31 had passed to L'Haan. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Zero Sum Game)
