'''Henrik Cole''' was the estranged nephew of [[Duke of Raman|Duke]] [[Thaddeus Cole]] who tried to usurp rule over [[House Cole]] with the backing of the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name=MW5M/><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Henrik Cole's grandfather fled the [[Federated Suns]] after a failed attempt to usurp his brother, Thaddeus Cole's father, as ruler of House Cole. He took refuge in the Draconis Combine, supplying [[House Kurita]] with classified information about House Cole in exchange for clemency.<ref name=MW5M/><ref name=MW5Mbdd>''MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries'', BattleMech Database description</ref><br />
<br />
With Henrik, the Draconis Combine had a convenient puppet in their pocket to lay claim to the [[Raman]] system and destabilize the entire region. In early [[3023]], Henrik led a [[battalion]] to try to kill Thaddeus and take the throne for himself. The attempt failed due to the arrival of [[Nik's Cavaliers]], who were hired when Thaddeus received warning from the [[Ministry of Information, Intelligence, and Operations|MIIO]], but Henrik's forces were able to kidnap his daughter [[Samantha Cole|Samantha]] and a number of their staff. This was short-lived, as the Cavaliers and the [[Draconis March Militia]] descended on the holding facility and were able to free the hostages. Out of options, Henrik's forces withdrew from the system and back into Draconis space.<ref name=MW5M/><br />
<br />
Unbeknownst to Henrik, Samantha planted a tracking device in one of their vehicles while kidnapped, allowing the Cavaliers to pursue him back to his base in a remote polar region of [[Reisling's Planet]] which was far from any civilian population and plagued by extreme weather. The conditions made the base invisible to unsuspecting outsiders but also vulnerable to attack, as enemies could approach undetected. Henrik was killed and his base destroyed, and Samantha ultimately uncovered the full truth of the operation.<ref name=MW5M/><br />

==BattleMech==<br />
Henrik Cole piloted a custom [[Victor#VTR-BSK|VTR-BSK ''Victor'']] nicknamed ''Basilisk''.<ref name=MW5M/><br />
