Verification note
The EC-G1 gap list included "Cobo" among the From the Ashes supporting cast. In the story text, the relevant recurring use is Cobo Center, the Detroit shelter and battle site. I did not find evidence that Cobo is a separate named character in this story. This should be handled as a location page, not a character page.
Overview
Cobo Center is the central Detroit shelter location in "From the Ashes." After Operation Reaper devastates the city, civilians shelter inside the complex while the Michigan Army National Guard holds a perimeter outside. The building becomes a trap when infected infiltrate or overrun the structure, turning the exhibit halls and shelter spaces into slaughter sites.
Story role
Arvin Malone and Melissa begin the story as civilian refugees connected to Cobo Center. Sergeant Lesley Cole and the National Guard defend the perimeter. Staff Sergeant Matthew Hedley's Ranger team eventually reaches the location, links up with Cole's survivors, and enters the building to rescue whoever remains.
By the time Hedley enters, the halls are filled with the bodies of refugees. Only a tiny number of survivors are recovered. The evacuation attempt turns into a vehicle escape toward the riverfront and the Detroit Princess. After the rescue, Raptors strike Cobo Center again, destroying the complex and the infected mass within it.
