History
"A cavalry commander in the U.S. Army, Cooper is a veteran of the frontier and a career military officer. He has tangled with everyone from the Lakota to the Mexican army and has always come out on top. Cooper is everything an officer should be: brave, smart, and certain where his loyalties lie. His only flaw is a touch of overconfidence; he never admits he's made a mistake."

Overview
Major Cooper can train Hussars, but has no special attacks. If you get a certain card from the Home City, he can be promoted to Colonel and his attack and Hit Points are increased. Cooper is a very effective infantry unit if handled carefully and has a high amount of hitpoints, very good attack, resists 0.40 damage, and has as much speed as normal infantry. He is, however, weak at fighting Boneguards.
