== Appearance and Personality ==
After some more training, battles and many questions from the team on Krell tactics, Cobb shared with them some confidential intelligence on both the Krell, the planet and history. Not much, but enough to help the team to understand more about them and the possibility of intelligent machines, which reminded Spensa of [[M-Bot]]. {{book ref|Skyward|27}}
 
He also let them know the fights used in the simulation are modifications of real battles, one in particular was the [[Battle of Trajerto]] and it was used to explain that if they needed to choose between Alta and Igneous, the second one is more important. They had to destroy Alta on that particular simulation. This gave Spensa the idea of looking for the Battle of Alta on the archives. {{book ref|Skyward|27}}
 
After the battle where Hurl died, he gave an angry speech about people who don’t eject. He asked them to choose their life above being called cowards or trying to save the ship. He explained Hurl would not be buried with any honors as the pod was destroyed. He gave them a medical leave for a week and moved to write her parents a letter. {{book ref|Skyward|33}}
