Gears of War Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Augustus Cole — Cole does not lead a small force searching for supplies in his hometown of Halvo Bay in Gears of War 3; Halvo Bay is the setting of Gears of War: Judgment, not Gears of War 3.

Augustus Cole — The claim that Cole appears during Jinn's speech in Gears of War 4 is inaccurate; he does not appear during that specific scene.

Marcus Fenix — The Derrick was used to drill into the Locust stronghold, but Jacinto was not sunk by it; the flooding was triggered by a bomb, not the Derrick sinking Jacinto.

Marcus Fenix — Anya Stroud died from an unspecified illness during the 25-year gap between Gears of War 3 and Gears of War 4, not between Gears 4 and Gears 5.

Kait Diaz — The amulet is explicitly stated to have been Myrrah's originally, so the entry's claim that it is 'not explicitly stated' is inaccurate.

Kait Diaz — Reyna died in Gears of War 4 and was later resurrected as the Swarm's leader, so the entry's phrase 'never having died' is factually incorrect.

Damon Baird — Baird is not the CEO of Damon Baird Industries in Gears of War 4; the company is referred to as 'Baird Industries' or 'Baird's company' in canon, not 'Damon Baird Industries'.

Coalition of Ordered Governments — The COG was officially founded on Emergence Day itself, not in the days following it.

Coalition of Ordered Governments — The COG emblem is described as a stylized gear with a central circle, but in canon it is a gear with a central star, not a circle.

The Lambent — The first major emergence of the Lambent is stated as 'During the Locust War (approx. 1 A.E.)', but in canon the Lambent first emerged during the Pendulum Wars, well before the Locust War began, and the Locust War started in 14 A.E., not 1 A.E.

The Lambent — The entry claims the Lambent originated when Imulsion infected flora, but in canon the Lambent originated when Imulsion infected the Locust and other subterranean life forms, not flora on the surface.

Locust Horde — The intro states that Emergence Day wiped out 25% of the human population within the first 24 hours, but in canon the 25% loss occurred over the first day/week, not strictly within 24 hours.

Locust Horde — The intro says Ephyra was evacuated on Emergence Day, but in canon it was evacuated later, not on Emergence Day itself.

Pendulum Wars — The Pendulum Wars lasted 79 years is incorrect; the actual duration is 65 years (from 79 B.E. to 14 B.E.).

Pendulum Wars — Imulsion-based weaponry was not used during the Pendulum Wars; it was developed later during the Locust War.
