Eugene Cobb (1962 - 2019) was an American businessman and secretly a Herald of Providence. Cobb was the CEO of Milton-Fitzpatrick, an international financial giant used by Providence to launder money for funding their operations. In 2019, after Cobb's security chief Lucas Grey discovered Cobb's status in Providence, Grey assassinated him and crashed Cobb's plane in order to begin his war against Providence.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Eugene Cobb was born in 1962 in the United States. He eventually joined Milton-Fitzpatrick, rising to the top of the hundred-year-old financial company as CEO. Eventually, Cobb was invited to join Providence, a shadow organization of the world's most influential people that secretly control the world's affairs.
Cobb soon became a Herald, a rank in Providence which served as a courier for orders from his superiors to give to standard Providence operatives. Eckhart Stuyvesant, the patriarch of the Stuyvesant family and one of the original Partners, originally intended to make Cobb his successor as a Partner instead of his son Marcus, though passed away before a final decision was made.
Death[]
In 2019, CICADA Head of Middle East and Horn of Africa Operations Lucas Grey was appointed as security chief for Cobb's security detail. During a flight across the Pacific Ocean, Grey discovered that Cobb was a Providence Herald and held a key to a Providence vault in New York City, New York containing information on all known operatives. Deciding to stop hiding, Grey shot Cobb to death, took his key, and eliminated the rest of the crew. He then flew the plane off course, before throwing Cobb out of the plane and taking the black box and parachuting out before the plane hit the water.
Cobb was reported missing in over the Pacific, with the FAA reporting that the plane went miles off course, his body and black box never being found. Due to the crash happening on a clear day and the missing body and black box, many conspiracy theories were created, including that Milton-Fitzpatrick CEO Alexander Fanin orchestrated Cobb's death to assume his position.
