Kusan City of Wolves Characters Hub
Profiles for Jin, Haru, Wonny, Ayn, DJ Garak, Guan, and Hoban in the neon underworld.
Welcome to the Characters Hub
Kusan City of Wolves is a hardcore top-down shooter from CIRCLEfromDOT and PQube, set for launch on July 30, 2026 across PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch. The campaign is not only about clearing 54 hand-crafted stages—it is about who you protect, who you once trusted, and who moves in the city’s underworld while the rain never stops.
This Characters Hub is the index for that cast. Use it when you want faces, motives, and relationships without dumping late-game twists. Pair these pages with combat practice from the Guides Hub and platform notes in the Review Hub so story context and mechanical skill stay connected.
Who drives the plot
Jin — fixer with a War Hand
You play as Jin, an ex-soldier turned back-alley fixer. His military-grade prosthetic War Hand and auto-targeting Quantum Knife turn every corridor into a planned clear rather than a spray-and-pray brawl. Jin’s job is simple on paper: keep a girl alive in a city that treats people like currency. In practice, that means confronting kingpins, old comrades, and a conspiracy large enough to tilt the whole metropolis.
Haru — the girl everyone wants
Haru is the person Jin must protect. Marketing materials describe her as fitted with a city-grade atomic weapon—an uncontrollable power that makes her a prize for criminals, agents, and anyone else chasing leverage. Her presence turns routine fixer work into a survival sprint across neon streets and boss arenas.
Wonny — a shadow in the underworld
Wonny is the name surfacing where power deals get made. Official blurbs say she is not here for power, yet she has it—and when she moves, Kusan reacts. Treat her as a spoiler-light mystery: enough to know the underworld is not static, not enough to spoil how her arc resolves.
Supporting cast to watch
The public cast list also highlights Ayn, DJ Garak, Guan, and Hoban. Ayn is framed around government-facing pressure and sunglasses-cool surveillance vibes in early storytelling. DJ Garak sits in the nightlife and club-adjacent pressure of the city. Guan belongs to the hard edges of organized force and street control. Hoban is tied to Jin’s military past—the commander whose betrayal is part of the wound Jin carries into every run.

How characters and combat meet
Kusan’s systems reward stylish play: chain gunfire, Quantum Knife throws, War Hand smashes, and parries to earn Bolts, then upgrade mid-run. Bosses and kingpins demand pattern reading. Style scoring and S-Rank goals push you to finish rooms clean. The cast gives those mechanics a reason to matter—Haru’s safety, Jin’s past with Hoban, and the city’s reaction when figures like Wonny shift the board.
When you practice, keep story and systems in the same loop:
- Learn Jin’s kit in How to Play and Quantum Knife.
- Spend Bolts wisely with the Bolts Planner and the War Hand and Bolts guide.
- Track stubborn stages in the S-Rank Tracker while you chase perfectionist ranks across the full stage list.
