Biography[]
Angel Has Fallen[]
Travis Cole was the head of security for Salient Global and presumably the first mercenary to join Wade's private military company. He participated in the training exercise with Mike Banning and the other commandos. However, he, along with the rest of Salient Global were secretly involved in a conspiracy with Vice President Martin Kirby to assassinate President Allan Trumbull due to Trumbull's rejection of private military companies and intended to use Mike as a scapegoat.
Days after the failed assassination attempt on Trumbull, a team of Salient commandos were dispatched to Clay's Cabin in West Virginia after Mike was discovered to have taken refuge there under his father, Clay Banning. However, the team were all killed thanks to the combined efforts of Mike and Clay. The next morning, the facility received a call. Cole thought it was Frost, but Wade deduced it was Mike. He listened as Mike promised to find Wade for setting him up with a glare.
After FBI agents Helen Thompson and Ramirez arrived to question Wade about his actions on framing Mike, Wade killed them as Cole guarded him. With their cover blown, Wade declared that they would have to dissolve Salient Global and leave the country, but not before they completed the mission of assassinating Trumbull. He along with the remaining Salient Global teams left the facility to St. Matthew's Hospital to take down Mike and Trumbull for good.
Cole participated in the gunfight against Mike and a squad of Secret Service agents until the rest of Salient Global's men were killed or arrested by the authorities. He along with the remaining mercenaries attempted to escape via helicopter. He was killed along with the remaining men when Mike had destroyed the helicopter with a grenade launcher.
