COLE DETECTIVE AGENCY

HISTORY 

The Cole Detective Agency (also known as Cole and Son) is one of the most reputable private investigation agencies in the United States. It is directed by Kingston Cole Senior. The detective agency often collaborates with state agencies such as the FBI, NSA, and even the CIA. In fact, Mr. Cole tends to be absent quite frequently to collaborate with one of these organizations, in those cases leaving the management of the company in the capable hands of his son, Junior. The Cole Detective Agency basically had three employees:

Antony L. "Whip" Steele: former police commissioner.

Iris Morland: the group's forensic scientist.

Ursus Graham: the muscle of the group.

The agency also receives the occasional collaboration of Dick Cole, nephew of Kingston Sr. and civil alter ego of The Champ.

His most persistent enemy was the notorious Spade Gang. No matter how many times they were stopped, the gang always rebuilt themselves.
