Pieter is Coen’s father. You meet him in the prologue; he proposes the force-feed option and later trains Coen in swordsmanship.
Why he matters
Pieter is part of Coen’s family, whose outcome the 30-day clock constrains — the more days you spend, the fewer family-related endings stay open. For how the timer works in practice, see the 30-day timer guide and the key choice timeline.
He is the other half of Coen’s family alongside Esme, and is guided through the early game by Anca. For the full cast, see the key characters compendium.
