He was was in a position of confidence with the Emperor Emhyr var Emreis, and so was granted governorship over Cintra during his reign. He commanded the "Center" Army Group in the 2nd Northern War - his record included the Battles of Dol Angra, Aldersberg and Brenna.

Coehoorn found his defeat at the Battle of Brenna. The reconnaisance units he sent out before the battle failed to notice the Nordling reserves under palatines Bronibor and Blenckert. These units tipped the scales in favor of the Nordlings and Coehoorn was forced to flee. During his retreat, he was shot to death by the remnants of Zoltan Chivay's company.
