Revision 1

Marat is the leader of the human rebellion against vampire rule in Vale Sangora, introduced as part of the cast revealed in the Road to Launch Event Story Trailer on April 28, 2026. He is one of the figures Coen can encounter while searching for allies during the 30-day cycle before Brencis's coronation.

Overview

Marat is described by the development team as having a strong moral compass. He firmly believes that Brencis's rule over Vale Sangora must end, but he is not certain whether the alternatives that follow will be any better. That tension between conviction and doubt sits at the center of how he is positioned in the story: a leader who has chosen to act against the vrakhiri regime without claiming the moral high ground that comes with certainty.

As the public face of the rebellion, Marat anchors a movement that is already taking up arms against Brencis. The dev panel describes him as the leader of that resistance, and he is one of the named characters glimpsed in the Story Trailer alongside Coen's family and other potential allies.

Role in Coen's Story

Marat is one of the potential allies Coen can seek out while choosing how to approach the rescue of his family. Meeting the rebellion is optional content within the narrative sandbox: the game can be completed without ever crossing paths with Marat or his fighters. Allying with him is one of several routes Coen can take, and it carries the kind of risks and rewards that come with disrupting Brencis's network of officers and supplies in the valley.

How far Coen leans into the rebellion, and what he is willing to do alongside it, is left to the player. Marat's own uncertainty about what should replace Brencis's order leaves space for those choices to matter.

Appearances

Marat is glimpsed in the Story Trailer released during the Road to Launch Event on April 28, 2026, and characterized in detail by the dev panel during the same broadcast. He is the new reveal of that event, joining Anca and Lacra, who had been teased earlier in the January 2026 launch year trailer, and is shown alongside other figures in Coen's orbit including Mirto, Yana, Esme, and Pieter.
