Biography
THE BEST PLANET TAMER

William Cabot, or known as Cabot, is a Hub citizen and the leader of the hunters in the game Evolve. Cabot and his hunters have an objective to kill all monsters in the recently human colonized planet Shear. Cabot is the best hunter in his team. Cabot himself is the owner of the drop-ship, Laurie-Anne. NORDITA brought him out from retirement specially to clear out the monsters in Shear. Most of the hunters in his team worked for Cabot, and all of them signed up because Cabot was the leader. With his robot partner, Bucket and the hunters, Cabot and his team sets out to clear out the monsters in Shear, but not the local wildlife. Armed with a deadly Rail Cannon and supportive gears, Cabot is someone you won't mess with.

THE LEGACY OF WILLIAM CABOT
 * Evolve (PS4)

Opening
Cabot was at a Fusion Plant, after clearing out the place. Cabot was taking a rest with his team when suddenly Bucket informs him that NORDITA needs his help again. Cabot reluctantly tries to listen to what Bucket is saying. Bucket says that NORDITA needs Cabot to retrieve an important power from a being unknown to everyone, not a monster, but "controls" everything. Cabot then, in a tired way, questions Bucket where is this being. Bucket says that NORDITA informs him that it is back on Earth, but some sensors indicated that the being was somewhere around the world and galaxy. Cabot tiredly accepts the job while his hunters got asleep. But before Cabot goes "hunting", he gives a shot to a nearby Mammoth Bird.

Rival
Name: Simon "Ghost" Riley

Reason: Cabot was walking around the rival stage, scanning with his currently-functional Radioactive Dust Tagging. However, suddenly the tag is malfunctioning and Cabot swore to himself. While so, he suddenly sees Riley behind him and aims his Rail Cannon to Riley. Riley also aims to Cabot with his M4A1. Cabot questions Riley who is he. Then Riley replies that he is someone Cabot doesn't know. From Simon's words, Cabot already guessed that he is from Earth and from UK. Cabot then questions Riley which military organization does he came from. Riley then reluctantly replies by saying "F*ck off" and fires his M4A1 but Cabot activates his Cloaking Device and disappears. Cabot then reappears behind Riley and kicks him away. Cabot then says that Riley has two choices, leave or die. Riley then laughs and replies with a middle finger, which Cabot nearly destroyed the finger by firing his Rail Cannon but Riley dodges it. Then, Cabot and Riley starts the fight after saying that Riley got some guts to fight him.

Connection: Both Cabot and Ghost is working in the military, yet for unusually odd "jobs". Riley being for some undercover, infiltration, and worked for Task Force 141 while Cabot's "job" is very extreme and unusualy, which is clearing out the monsters in the planet Shear. Both of their game franchise have a vice versa. While Simon's franchise is extremely popular among gamers and has a long history, Cabot's franchise is yet just being released but also very popular. Both of their franchise are also being released in 2014 for the latest version. For Simon's franchise being the Advanced Warfare, which is released some months ago in 2014 while Cabot's franchise, Evolve released in some weeks/days/a month ago. However, Cabot's franchise has it's full version in 2015. Both also have a trusted partner in their same job. Cabot's partner being the robot Bucket, and Simon's partner being John "Soap" McTavish. Their parts in their "jobs" are also different. While Simon is more of an assault, Cabot is a support.

Ending
Cabot returns to the same Fusion Plant after defeating Polygon Man. When he returns, he sees that his fellow hunters are nowhere to be found. Cabot then began to search them, but finally, he only found one "surviving" member, his partner, Bucket. However, only Bucket's head remains. Then, he sees another fellow hunter Markov dead in the ground and has his arm ripped out. After looking at both Markov and Bucket, suddenly he hears a footstep, a BIG footstep. Then, he turns back and sees a fully evolved Goliath roaring. Then, Cabot gets angered and with Polygon Man's newly acquired powers, with glowing blue aura, Cabot shoots his Rail Cannon at the Goliath's chest, but now, the Rail Cannon shoots a blue concentrated beam that pierces the Goliath, and the screen blacks out when the beam penetrates the Goliath.

Gameplay
Cabot, being a support character isn't really an effective front line soldier. However, Cabot's primary weapon, the Rail Cannon sure does gain a massive AP for him. Cabot isn't really good at melee combat, but in range  he is incredible. Also, a unique trait upon all the characters is that Cabot's AP gaining method is different from the others. He does not simply hit and gain AP, but marks his enemies first to gain more AP. Marking is Cabot's specialty, which makes marked targets that Cabot hits grants Cabot more AP than attacking an unmarked target.
