Manny Coachen

Manny Coachen was the secretary to a foreign embassy and the prime suspect of the KG-8 Incident who was murdered ten years later at the embassy he was working at.

Background
For 10 years, Coachen worked under the Cohdopian ambassador Quercus Alba as part of his criminal syndicate, helping with his counterfeiting and smuggling operations. One day, he was instructed to kill a fellow employee to keep her from revealing this to the authorities. He was arrested and tried for the crime, but due to the lack of evidence (it was stolen by an employee of Ernest Amano at Alba's request), he was acquitted and free to go.

When Cohdopia divided into two countries, Coachen began to work for Colias Palaeno, ambassador of Babahl, to gain power over Alba, who represented Allebahst. When reunification plans for Allebahst and Babahl were discussed, Coachen saw this as his chance to usurp Alba as the smuggling ring's leader. To this end, he enlisted Mask*DeMasque II to break into the Allebahstian section of the Cohdopian embassy of America and steal Allebahst's Primidux Statue. The idea was to swap it with a fake, so that when the two countries became Cohdopia again, Palaeno would be made ambassador, removing Alba's authority and extraterritorial rights.

However, Alba got wind of this plan. On the night of a goodwill event at the embassy, Alba murdered Coachen in the Theatrum Neutralis, and moved his body into Coachen's office, to throw suspicion off Alba. Ironically, Alba's plan, intended to strenghten his position as the smuggling ring's leader, would lead to its destruction, as he would be apprehended by the American authorities for the murder.

Personality
Coachen is the second-in-command in the Cohdopian smuggling ring. Overall, he is very greedy and only cares about himself. His greed led him to hiding some art pieces in his safe. As a result, his trusting relationship with the ringleader is starting to weaken.
