Personality
Bakir loves being the center of attention. He resented the centuries he spent hiding, and he makes a show of his cruelty.
Where you meet them
Bakir's Pillories are events in his lands where prisoners are drained in public. Break up enough of his operations and the Lunar Game opens at Lunar Manor in the Silts, a dusk contest where Coen has to keep his cover.

Quests such as Our Rotten Roots and Midnight Reckoning bring Coen into conflict with him. In Of Wolves and Men you find a cave once home to wolves and a man, and Bakir is the one who killed that man.
FateSpoilerShow
After the Lunar Game, Bakir sits down with Coen, and your answers decide whether you end up alone with him in the Treasury. You can kill him, which earns The Mad Khan, but his fate depends on your choices.
The Lunar GameThe Lunar Game is the boss quest for the boyar Bakir, a deadly contest at Lunar Manor that unlocks once his anger is maxed. Smart prep before the maze makes the rivals much easier to handle.- Bakir's PilloriesBakir's Pillories are court activities where prisoners are held and drained in pillories under guard. Freeing them angers the vampire Bakir, and one rescue opens a Swordmastery teacher.
- Lunar GamesThe Lunar Games is a quest chain built around games held in Vale Sangora. It is your route to the boyar Bakir: max out his anger and his servant Farkas invites you into a deadly tournament.
- Midnight ReckoningMidnight Reckoning is the last quest in Lacra's questline and the ending path where you storm Greifberg Castle with her. Keep a manual save first, because starting the attack locks you into an ending.
- Our Rotten RootsOur Rotten Roots is the fourth quest in Lacra's questline and takes Coen into Anachora, a realm built from memories. It pays out well, with 1000 XP, a skill point and the Piercing Shriek vampire ability.
