Personality:
Cooler is a warrior who prizes on keeping cool and collected no matter the situation. His anger is kept chilled, his passion tempered and reigned in. No matter the situation, he analyzes carefully and attempts to look past his gut reactions. In battle this makes him a shrewd and cunning opponent, always looking for an opening, and in grander affairs such as the running of an empire, he often tempers punishment with a mercy that is distinctly lacking among many of his kind.
Many are the minions and soldiers who can attest to the fairer conditions of serving under the elder Cold brother. Not once has he killed a minion or servant for bringing bad news, and many have gotten second chances after failing in a task. To him, there is little point in ruling through sheer fear alone. The minion who fears that bad news will see death will simply bring no news at all, and this leads to the empire crumbling around oneself.
However, there is one avenue where even his judgement can be clouded, and it is in regards to his family. He had to work much harder than father or brother to get where he is, and there is no small amount of resentment for the sheer natural power they have, that he lacks. He has made it a point of pride and diligence to push himself to the very limits, in the hopes that one day he can surpass his brother and prove himself superior once and for all.
History:
Cooler was the first child of King Cold, a changeling renowned for his tremendous, hideous power. Cooler was strong, stronger than much of his kind, but compared to his father, he was nothing. The disappointment was a palpable thing that he could feel his entire life growing up, and only got worse on the day his brother was born. Cooler had already started to take some responsibility of the PTO, and he was proving to be an adept administrator. What he might have lacked in overwhelming power he made up for with intelligence and a cool head, but Frieza?
Frieza was a monster that dwarfed both Cooler and Cold in every conceivable way.
From the moment he was born his power was such that even if Cooler and his father fought together they wouldn’t have a prayer, and King Cold loved it. Frieza was spoiled rotten and the clear heir and favorite. Despite this, Cooler continued to work. He’d already resigned himself to his father being disappointed, and now that Cold had a favorite, all Cooler could do was keep going and forge his own legacy. However, one thing he was always worried about as Frieza began to grow older, was that his father’s coddling of his little brother would one day come back to hurt them all.
Cooler focused on relentless training, pushing himself as hard as he could in the time he had between administering the worlds under his control. He worked hard, and his power grew steadily, but compared to Frieza he was still nothing. Eventually, as the long decades past, things boiled to a head, on Namek, when Frieza was defeated. King Cold set out immediately to try and find his son. After all, with how durable their species was there was a decent chance that Frieza might indeed be alive and merely drifting in the debris of a shattered world.
At this point, Cooler could have gone after the man who defeated his brother, in a vain attempt to avenge them despite having not nearly as much power. Instead, he waited for confirmation, and indeed, Cold was able to find Frieza’s body, in dire need of extensive surgery, but he could and would survive. The news was terrifying to many, and Cooler himself wondered just how his brother would handle his first defeat, particularly one so catastrophic.
Foreseeing nothing but ill intentions, he prepared for the worst, but the big surprise came when the great catastrophe was not from Frieza's own actions, but that of Cold's own. It seemed that Cold was bitterly upset over his son's disappointment. Perhaps the lofty pedestal he'd set Frieza on had skewed his expectations, but Cold began to make insane decisions, including stripping Frieza of practically all lands and titles and giving them to Cooler. Something Cooler, wisely, refused to take, only managing them in the most basic fashion until the situation resolved and resolve it did. Frieza deposed his father and became the ruler of the PTO.
Frieza was remarkably mature in his treatment of Cooler, bearing no ill will and treating him fairly, merely taking back the territory that was his, something Cooler did not resist in the slightest. It has done something to give him a modicum of respect for his brother, and for the moment at least, Cooler continues his operations within the PTO.
