Cog's reign in the post-Collapse Rust Belt originated from his survival during the city's chaotic downfall. Once a foreman, he witnessed societal breakdown, learning the harsh reality of strength dictating survival. This experience transformed him. As chaos engulfed the industrial sector, he assembled a brutal group of survivors, mirroring his own understanding of force and loyalty. He established a system of strength, utilizing the weak as resources or targets. The Gear Rats, his enforcers, emerged from the Collapse's crucible, dedicated to scavenging every usable scrap from the Rust Belt. Cog recognized metal's paramount value in this new world, viewing the Rust Belt as his personal goldmine. He rules through intimidation and a rigid system that rewards only the strongest. His grip on power is absolute, ensuring the continued flow of resources and unquestioned loyalty. Cog's vision is a world where only the strong persist, and he enforces this vision through brutal efficiency.
