Quite honestly, when it comes to the "background characters" or characters who are only identified via their titles(Cook, Quartermaster, Gunner, etc), I mainly go by their identity as shown onscreen...mostly because it's quite likely we never see them again. Unless of course they make a surprise cameo in prequel books(who would've guessed Pintel and Ragetti made it to The Price of Freedom lol).

There may be a time where I do give these characters an identity, but not for the Cook.
