human
Made rather than recruited. The overview trailer states that Xanthe is the officer who creates the Blood Guards, and the walkthrough finds her mid-rite over three of them in Svartrau Cathedral — so the elite tier of Brencis's army is one officer's personal output.
As human Coen
No verified strategy is recorded yet.
As a vampire
Fought with claws in the walkthrough, and the narration is explicit that claw combat is still directional — a dual-wielding opponent does not suspend the reading game. Coen can also draw the sword as a vampire if the claws are the wrong tool.
Seen in one pre-beta encounter. Whether they appear outside Xanthe's company, and whether they scale with Infamy, is unconfirmed.
