Who they are
Coen grew up in Laslea as the oldest of the children. As a boy he worked the silver mines with Pieter, who also taught him the sword, and he studied Latin in secret with Anca, hoping to leave the valley one day.
Why the turning failed
Brencis tries to make Coen a full vrakhir and fails. The silver left in Coen's body from his mining years is what stopped it, and it leaves him a Dawnwalker instead.
Role in the story
After Laslea is destroyed and his family is taken to Greifberg Castle, Coen has about 30 days to free them. Along the way he can fight the Boyars, make allies or strike deals. Your choices push him toward kindness, cruelty or walking away.
His brother AlinSpoilerShow
As a child, Coen watched his younger brother Alin fall through the ice. He blames himself for the death until the quest Home Sweet Home.
FateSpoilerShow
Coen's ending depends on your choices. He can save his family, betray his allies or flee the valley. One ending shows him still alive in the 21st century, in a guarded penthouse with bagged blood and a stock of guns.
