The Detective is the main character of Silver Palace.
Players can choose a male or female version of the protagonist. Both versions represent the same central player role: a skilled investigator returning to Silvernia after three years away to uncover the truth behind a fatal shooting and the death of someone close to them.
The official character profile describes the Detective with gender-neutral language and identifies them as rational, reliable, clear-minded and efficient, with exceptional powers of observation and analysis. The official Silver Palace channel has also published two separate Detective title videos, showing that both male and female protagonist presentations are part of the game’s intended cast structure.
The main character is known as the Detective.
The Detective returns to Silvernia during the third year of Queen Feliana’s reign. They investigate crimes through deduction, diplomacy, exploration and combat while following the trail of a fatal shot connected to a personal loss. Official material describes the protagonist as an observant and highly capable investigator searching for the truth beneath Silvernia’s political and institutional corruption.
Players can choose a male or female version. The two versions share the same Detective identity, the protagonist backstory, the investigation role and the core campaign position, even though they differ visually and may use different title-page names in Beta-era material.

The Detective is the protagonist of Silver Palace and the player perspective for the story.
The official profile describes the Detective as rational, reliable, clear-minded and efficient, with strong observation and analysis skills.
The character exists as a person with an established job, motivation and history rather than as a blank avatar. Silver Palace lets the player choose the protagonist presentation, but the central role remains the same: the returning investigator who is trying to solve a death-linked mystery inside a city shaped by politics, industry and hidden violence.
The Detective is the main character and the player-controlled center of the campaign.
They solve cases through observation, analysis, deduction, diplomacy and field investigation.
Players explore Silvernia, follow clues and fight through the Detective’s point of view.
Official material says the protagonist left the city after a disastrous event connected to a personal loss.
They return during the third year of Queen Feliana’s reign, when the city appears prosperous but is full of political tension and institutional corruption.
The investigation centers on tracing the origin of a fatal shot and the death of someone close to the Detective.
The male MC is the male version of the Detective and carries the same protagonist identity and story role.
Beta-era community documentation refers to the male version with the title The Raven’s Beak. This title should remain version-labeled until the release client is stable.
The male protagonist was documented as playable during the Dichotomy Beta cycle and should be treated as a selectable protagonist presentation rather than a separate recruitable companion.
The female MC is the female version of the Detective and shares the same central story, role and motivation as the male version.
Beta-era documentation has associated the female Detective with The Raven’s Claws, and some community records also use the name Munin. Those labels should remain marked as Beta or preview-build information rather than automatically treated as final.
The female Detective was playable in the Monotype Beta and appears prominently in early gameplay documentation.
Beta documentation describes the Detective as a flexible attacker combining melee strikes, ranged attacks, investigation-themed abilities, gravity-related effects, parries and character switching.
Some databases classify the protagonist as a high-rarity Gravitas Hero or Striker-style damage dealer, but those labels should remain tied to the test version until the final game confirms them.
Beta-era footage and documentation associate the protagonist with a sword, a firearm and a cane-like tool, though final weapon terminology may differ.
Reported as five-star in Beta records, but the final launch classification may change.
Mixed melee and ranged tools, with investigation-themed effects and switching support.
Sword, firearm and cane-like tool appear in Beta-era material.
Whether you choose the male or female MC, you take the role of the same central investigator returning to a city shaped by mystery, political decay and hidden violence.
