About

"Let's cut to the chase. Can't have the witness dying before the testimony is taken." Hugin is the male build of the Detective, the protagonist of Silver Palace, carrying the banner 'The Raven's Beak' (the female build carries 'The Raven's Claws'). Rational, reliable, clear-minded, and efficient, he is gifted with powerful skills of observation and analysis, and driven by loss he searches for the truth behind the death of a loved one. After leaving Silvernia for three years following a disaster, he has returned to a city where conspiracies fester beneath the facade of peace, and where a fragile justice system and opaque noble politics have set the stage for those who seek the truth. This is the golden age of detectives. A preview build's Character Identity screen confirms Hugin as a Gravitas character with a Striker DPS Combat Style and Hero identity. His confirmed kit: Basic Attack 'Double-Edged Sword: Truth & Deceit' is a 5-hit Gravitas combo that builds Ammunition and can chain into Skill 'Raven Slayer', Ultimate 'Thus Spake the Raven' leaps into a powerful attack that creates a time-dilating Gravity Field, Tactical Assault '"One-Half" of a Retaliation' is a flurry switch-in attack that builds Gravity Overdrive, and Passive 'Occam's Razor' stacks Ultimate DMG off Raven Slayer's Charged Shot and grants Gravity Overdrive on a successful parry. See Munin for the shared protagonist profile.

In the Dichotomy Beta story, Hugin is the same returning protagonist covered in the Detective profile: branded the 'queen slayer' after the Evermore disaster, back in Silvernia to trace the marked bullet that killed his sibling, and pulled by Chief Inspector Lorin into the Nameless Ashes case that becomes the Cinderellas. The beta follows a single Detective, and the male and female builds share this story. See the Munin profile and the Silver Palace story recap for the full account.
