| - Cog is described as being a very skilled swordsman, and a two-centuries-old veteran of a Japanese martial art called iaidō. Iaidō implements smooth, controlled motions of drawing the sword, striking, and replacing it in its scabbard; it is typically a noncompetitive art and emphasizes fluidity in movement. One-on-one, Cog is a formidable opponent, and is able to take advantage of the unpredictability of his swift sword strokes to confuse and disorient adversaries. This makes speed his most valuable asset. His lycanthropic heritage is able to enhance his reflexes and senses, such as olfactories and hearing, and helps him with the precision of his blade. Thanks to this unusual affinity and in part his lycanthropy, he can manipulate the energies inside of him to various degrees, manifesting them in purely physical blows or invisible waves. This technique is dependent on how much he concentrates or how much energy he has invested into each attack. In spite of his disdain for mages, Cog is fairly skilled in a magical domain. He has learned, through an incident in his life, how to create and utilize electrical energies for offensive purposes. In the non-canonical The Castle RP, Cog was granted his thunder magic as part of a story arc. When outnumbered, Cog can be easily overwhelmed. He is weaker during the full moon, as the curse that endowed him with his lycanthropy grants him the same abilities as the werewolves of the mythological variety. Being exposed to the light of the full moon forces Cog into a feral, unthinking state called The Wolf; when in this form, he kills indiscriminately and cannot differentiate friend from foe. Cog might also be capable of shifting between a human form and an ostensibly Being form, like most Weres.
