Quick Answer
No custom protagonist has been announced. The game follows Coen, a predefined male lead with his own family, history, voice, and role in the story. Player choice shapes his behavior and development rather than replacing him with a created hero.
Confirmed facts are separated from details that still need launch-day testing.
Why You Play as Coen
Rebel Wolves built the narrative around Coen’s relationship with his captured family and his incomplete transformation into a vampire. A fixed protagonist lets quests, performances, relationships, and consequences react to a specific character while still allowing the player to decide what kind of person he becomes.
Can You Choose Coen’s Gender?
No gender-selection option has been announced. Official materials consistently present Coen as the protagonist. Images or videos showing an alternate custom protagonist should be treated as fan concepts unless Rebel Wolves announces a new mode.
What Can You Customize?
The game supports role-playing through choices, skills, equipment, human magic, vampire abilities, and different ways of resolving quests. Official edition listings also confirm armor for Coen. A complete list of hairstyles, face options, transmog rules, dyes, or appearance-editing services has not been confirmed.
Choices Still Change the Character
A predefined protagonist does not mean a fixed playthrough. Coen can build alliances, pursue relationships, decide whom to help, feed on people or animals, and approach objectives by day or night. Those choices can change his abilities, reputation, available information, and story outcomes.
