William Coster — “Noise”
William “Noise” Coster is Joker Flight’s No. 4, a skilled wingman known for keeping up with Tasha’s extreme maneuvers and providing effective cover. He is also a committed rock fan who takes a compact music player into the cockpit.
The covering wingman
Coster holds the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade and occupies the fourth position in Joker Flight. Official material defines his flying through two concrete strengths: he can keep pace with Tasha’s demanding maneuvers and provide effective cover.
That description fits the confirmed wingman-command system, which includes cover orders. It does not reveal his aircraft assignment, AI statistics or any unique combat perk.
Why his callsign is Noise
Coster is a diehard rock music fan and carries a compact player into the cockpit so he can listen during missions. His callsign Noise and music habit make him the most overtly audio-themed member of the team.
The official biography does not publish a soundtrack list, favorite band or music-triggered gameplay mechanic, so those details remain outside this profile.
Place in Joker Flight
Coster rounds out the four-aircraft team with the player, Baxter and Tasha. His ability to cover a more aggressive aerobatic pilot gives the squad a specific working relationship rather than four interchangeable wingmen. How the player’s commands modify that behavior will need retail testing.
