Answer
Esme is Coen’s mother, whose physical and emotional health deteriorates after Brencis takes power.
Context
Official material says she consistently puts her family first. By the period immediately before the game, she barely speaks, eats, or sleeps as the household struggles under vrakhiri rule.
This distinction matters because pre-release summaries often merge confirmed facts with expected genre conventions.
Use in planning
Use this page when tracking Coen’s family stakes and the prologue events that motivate his search.
Verification status
No official source has published her complete medical explanation, branching outcome, or rescue requirements.
Relationship and story tracking
Record what Esme says, what Coen promises, and whether another character reacts. The published material makes trust and hidden motives important, but it does not justify assigning a fixed ally, enemy, or romance label before the relevant branch is tested. Link a verified consequence back to this profile only when the trigger and result can be reproduced.
