A family to save, not a blank character sheet

Coen is the named protagonist caught between humanity and vampirism. Brencis and his court rule Vale Sangora, while Coen’s family makes his decisions personal. This is not an anonymous adventurer without ties to the people around him. Official Bandai Namco game page.

Where does Coen come from?

Coen grew up in Laslea, a village in Vale Sangora. As the eldest sibling, he helped support his family and worked in the silver mines with his father. He also secretly studied Latin, imagining a different future. These details come from the publisher’s Coen’s Roots bulletin. Bandai Namco: Coen’s Roots.

Who are Coen’s family?

This is the family introduced in Bandai Namco: Coen’s Roots, not an account of their endings. The bulletin calls Coen a young man but does not give an exact age, so this page does not infer one from his appearance.

Shape his response

Ask what your version of Coen is prepared to sacrifice: safety, an alliance, time or humanity. That is a useful role-playing lens without turning the story into a reward checklist.
