Officially confirmed profile
Cai comes from Ribeira and enters the Heroic Games to obtain the winner’s wish for his father, who is imprisoned beneath Dagsion. His premise gives him a direct relationship to the capital’s prison system, but the reason for the imprisonment and the father’s identity have not been disclosed.
Cai is one of the four heroes whose fate the player is sent to influence. His path can be followed alongside those of Dietrich, Theodora, and Leda, with switching available through the Pale Raven’s perch.
Documented gameplay details
