Major Coats is a British Alliance soldier stationed on Earth under the command of Admiral Anderson. During the Reaper invasion, Coats spent three days inside the Big Ben clock tower, shooting at anything that moved. If Shepard chooses to activate the Crucible, then Coats, Gabriella Daniels, and Kenneth Donnelly (provided the duo also survived the war) will be seen helping in the reconstruction of London. If Shepard didn't bring most of the Galaxy's might into the final battle Major Coats will instead be seen smoking a cigarette amid the ruins of London.
