Evidence boundary
The Vrakhiri are presented as historical individuals from different centuries and cultures, not a single anonymous enemy type. Their biographies explain the regime Coen opposes and help readers distinguish confirmed backstory from conclusions that will depend on dialogue, notes, and endings in the finished game.
Names, dates, origins, and roles here come from official biographies or world material. Motives are described only where the source states them; theories about hidden identities, boss phases, endings, or sequel roles remain outside the indexed answer.
What is not confirmed
The game has not yet published a precise culture, century, or transformation event.
This boundary is deliberate: the page can answer its named question now without pretending to be a launch walkthrough. It will be expanded only when official patch notes or reproducible play evidence adds a new, useful answer.
