This turns out to be the final performance of Kyle Fitzpatrick, who is plastered to a piano rigged with explosives. Cohen then toys with Jack, inviting him to Fleet Hall to see a performance. When Jack arrives in Fort Frolic, Cohen cuts off his radio contact with Andrew Ryan and Atlas, stranding him on the level by causing the Bathysphere to Hephaestus to submerge. An audio diary reveals that he even regretted his decision to move to Rapture for this reason, and may even have planned to kill Ryan. Steinman, Cohen went insane, driven so partly by ADAM and out of frustration for the lack of appreciation for his work after the Civil War. All of them either betrayed or displeased Cohen at some point. Silas refers to Cohen "paying his rent," Martin calls Cohen an "old fruit" (a pejorative term for a homosexual), and Hector utters the ambiguous phrase "the things that man had me do…" Cohen's comments are even more explicit on the subject. It is all but stated that Cohen's relationships with some of his disciples were sexual in nature (with the exclusion of Elizabeth, given her gender as well as the fact that she despised him). Cohen's fifth known disciple was Elizabeth, who prior to the events of Burial at Sea spent two months undercover as his "Songbird" in order to gain information on his human trafficking schemes. They were Silas Cobb, Martin Finnegan, Hector Rodriguez, and Kyle Fitzpatrick. īefore Jack arrived in 1960, Cohen had five disciples, although only four were encountered and mentioned in the game. With this competition gone, Cohen experienced a rare era of extravagance before the Rapture Civil War forced him to close Fort Frolic. Cohen allegedly used his contacts with Ryan, to "Put the bump" on her, as said by Security Chief Sullivan, who had to do the dirty work. The majority were bought by Ryan Industries to be turned into Little Sisters.Īs a result of his closeness to Ryan, Cohen became a notable enemy of another singer/actress, Anna Culpepper, who called him " Ryan's Songbird". He began trafficking the young girls to various individuals willing to pay the right price. After the nationalization of Fontaine Futuristics and the subsequent closure of the Little Sister's Orphanages, as well as the recently orphaned children caused by Fontaine's followers being sent to Fontaine's Department Store converted prison, leaving their children behind, Cohen took in the destitute children off the street. Cohen was also interested in the art movement of Abstract Expressionism and participated in Sofia Lamb's celebration of " unconscious art" in Dionysus Park.

As one of Andrew Ryan's most fervent supporters, Cohen was granted the honor of writing the Rapture anthem, " Rise, Rapture, Rise", and he consulted on the building of Ryan Amusements. He also produced several record albums, the latest of which was the heavily advertised Why Even Ask?, as well as theatrical shows, one of which was named Patrick and Moira. He ran Fort Frolic and owned both a night club and several galleries of art throughout the city. However, it might be assumed that Cohen's talent as an artist was looked on by some as dubious at best, given his frequent run-ins with the "doubters" and Lee Wilson Seward's commentary that he was a "fraud."īefore Rapture descended into chaos, Cohen was a leading figure in the artistic community and social scene of the city. During his time in New York, Cohen was good friends with Andrew Ryan, who admired his artistic ability and personally invited him to come to Rapture. It is suggested that the constraints that the public imposed on his work may have been a contributing factor towards his conversion to Ryanist ideals. On the surface, Cohen was a celebrated artist, although he often had to stoop to pleasing the public rather than following his passions. It is implied that he converted them to the Ryanist philosophy since they began speaking of a coming utopia with an almost religious fervor. Although information on his life pre-Rapture is limited, some of the scant information we have tells us that he eventually became colleagues with an Elgar Vankin and Mimi Tabor. Sander Cohen was a Jewish American artist who lived in New York. 2.2.1 Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and BioShock Remastered Specific.2.2 Achievements/Trophies Related to Cohen.
