== Attributes and Abilities ==
Cobb was an excellent pilot who stopped flying after the [[Battle of Alta]] due to the trauma it caused him.{{book ref|Skyward|21}}
 
As First Citizen he became an instructor for new pilots; a job he excels at not only because he manages to teach complex flight moves, tactics and techniques; but because he does care for his students.{{book ref|Skyward|8}}{{book ref|Skyward|47}}
 
== History ==
He was the wing mate of [[Zeen Nightshade]] (callsign: '''Chaser'''), [[Spensa]]'s father, and fought with him in the [[Battle of Alta]].{{book ref|Skyward|Prologue}} After Chaser returned from the sky and shot down friendly ships, Cobb shot him down on [[Judy Ivans|Ironside's]] orders.
 
Cobb reviewed Spensa's pilot exam and, after talking to her, gave her a First Citizen pin to help her get into flight school. He used his status and political power to enroll her.{{book ref|Skyward|6}}
 
=== Ironsides ===
Judy Ironsides was Cobb’s fightflight leader in the Battle of Alta, she was the one who ordered him to shoot down Chaser.{{book ref|Skyward|21}}
 
Cobb had been more sensitive to all deaths than her and this difference seemed to have alienated them. She respects him but stands firm on her decisions. The other disagreement is on the existence of the defect causing Chaser to become a traitor, and moreover that this would be passed to Spensa.{{book ref|Skyward|i|1}}
 
=== Jorgen ===
Cobb knows and acknowledges Jorgen’s background and gives him the fight leader position since hethe first day.{{book ref|Skyward|8}} Still, he is as tough with him as with anyone, snapping at him when arrogant. He does give good leadership advice and wants him to earn respect.{{book ref|Skyward|11}}
