Cogno

Cogno is the eponymous main character of books, games, and interactive activities developed by Cogno Products (DoubleStar, LLC). In the Cogno: The Legends book series, Cogno leads the Icari, a team of detectives who must stop a huge blob of dark matter that is hurtling toward our galaxy. The book series chronicles adventures of Cogno and his team of otherworldly detectives in space. The series takes place in the Milky Way Galaxy, in the present day, and is intended for children ages 10 and up.

Role/Position

According to Cogno: The Legends, Cogno was chosen by the Kimmeroi Council to organize and launch an elite “special teams” group called the Icari. When not directly engaged in the dark matter blob mystery, Cogno and the Icari set out on other missions.

Attributes & Capabilities

Cogno is 5 ft 5 in tall (without his antennae) and weighs approximately 180 pounds (82 kg).

Cogno’s brain sits behind his eye. Its large size provides binocular vision, allowing him to take advantage of motion parallax in depth perception. Similarly, Cogno’s mind is like a parallel processor. He can ponder multiple subjects at the same time and carry on dozens of dreams at once, while sleeping.

Cogno walks by twisting his torso back and forth, “wheeling” his lower body and leaning it back and forth to move ahead. When he needs to move fast, he can leap forward, curl his tentacles around his eye, and roll on the ground. Cogno rarely has the need to move suddenly, but his tentacles are powerful and lightning fast, and can act defensively if necessary.

It is unclear what Cogno’s antennae are for, but they may aid in his telepathic powers. Cogno and his sister are the only telepaths his planet has ever produced.

Background

At age five, Cogno was taken by his father from their happy home on their planet in another galaxy. Since that time, Cogno has not known where home is. He wants desperately to go back to see his mother and little sister. Cogno’s father, Nonus, disappeared into a black hole not long after they fled to the Milky Way Galaxy. In Book Two of Cogno: The Legends, Cogno attempts to rescue his father from the black hole.

Personality

Cogno is cool, content with himself, calculating, nearly impossible to rattle. He is supremely intelligent and typically one step ahead of everyone else in figuring things out and planning. He is the humble leader of the Icari, focused on their mission to stop the dark matter blob.

Hobbies

Meditation, hanging out with the telepathic walking plants, theoretical physics, mapping the universe, and reading his father’s mind (he’s not supposed to).
