Marat leads the Manumits, the rebels fighting the vrakhiri. He is brave and well liked but trusts almost no one, so Coen has to prove himself before the rebels let him in.
Marat is courageous and charismatic, and his followers are loyal to him. He is always on guard against betrayal, which makes him slow to take an outsider seriously.
Marat decides the Manumits' next move. Once you bring him Silas's book and a way to weaken the gargoyles, the rebels prepare their march on Greifberg Castle.
Marat is Crake's real name, which comes out in What Moves the Dead. Guides use both names for the same rebel leader, so treat this page and Crake's as one person.
A Closer LookA Closer Look is the Crake questline step where you go after Marat once Distant Shadows ends badly. It is short, but it carries the bronze trophy The Manumit if you pick the right lines.
Distant ShadowsDistant Shadows is a Crake quest where Coen meets Crake at the rebels' hideout and tails Ascar through Tantari by day. Getting spotted gives a worse outcome, so take it slow and hide behind cover.
Rise at DawnRise at Dawn is the ending quest for Crake's questline, where you march on Brencis's castle with the manumit rebels. Save before you start it, because it fails every quest you have not finished.
Who Pulls the StringsWho Pulls the Strings is a late Crake questline quest where you raid a gargoyle-guarded tower for a book. It pays 1000 XP and the Life Lock hex, and finishing it opens the road to Crake's ending.Crake
Crake leads the Manumits, the rebels fighting Brencis, and his chain is the longest optional storyline in the game. He is also a romance option, but he won't trust Coen until your Infamy is high.
Drogos
Drogos is one of Crake's lieutenants in the Manumits, alongside Sara. He is around when you first meet the rebels, and he points you to Crake after the Ascar business in Distant Shadows.
Ascar
Ascar is a beekeeper who lives in a hut on the south side of Tantari. Crake has you tail him in the optional quest Distant Shadows, and what you find out explains a lot about Crake.
