History Characters / TheWitcher2019TheElves

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: He initially helps Ciri while she's on the run and is willing to stick by her for a while but eventually gets sick of the trouble that's drawn to her and the way she treats him. When she tries to get him to kill the Doppler assassin he decides he's had enough and abandons her.

* BattleCouple: With Francesca. They both work together leading the elves in hopes of a better future for their race, fight together when in the battlefield and overall seem to be [[HappilyMarried quite emotionally open and tender with each other in thier down time.]]

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Alive and well by the time the book series ends, in the Netflix series he's killed during The Thanedd Coup when he [[TakingTheBullet takes the bullet]] for Francesca.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Calling her ''evil'' extremely is difficult considering the [[GreyAndGreyMorality morality]] of the Witcher-Verse, but she's one of the most recurring antagonistic force in the series for our main heroes. This does not change the fact that her absolute visceral and shrieking horror at Filavandrel's [[LudicrousGibs death]] is ''incredibly'' painful to watch. She utterly looses herself in her consuming grief, falls borderline catatonic and it's stongly implied that she spell she used to accelerate the destruction of Aretuza was meant to [[TakingYouWithMe kill her off as well]] until Fringilla re-awakens her will to live.]]

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She betrayed North, got tangled into the wrong side of the Thanedd coup and even willingly became a pawn for Nilfgaard, while betraying variety of elven groups in the process. All so Dol Blathanna can be established as a country for elves, even if it would be a political puppet.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: After his daughter's birth, he is among the first elves who wish to lay down their arms and stop fighting in favour of building a new future for their race. As one of their leaders and father to the first elven child to be born in decades, his refusal to fight for Nilfgaard undoubtedly has a huge effect on the other elves. [[spoiler: This refusal is the main reason why Emperor Emhyr orders the death of the child, which is something Filavandrel couldn't have possibly predicted by the time he made his decision.]]

* BigSisterInstinct
* CantArgueWithElves: Francesca despises humans and considers them beneath her and the other elves. The one exception seems to be Fringilla - she warms up to her after their shared experience with Voleth Meir.

* HeroicRROD: She's not a heroic character in the traditional sense of the word, but to her credit she is ''immensely'' devoted to the health of her people, to the point that she does not hesitate to essentially work herself to the bone and complete exhaustion in order to heal her people and is more than willing to push herself forward. Filavandrel himself has to gently intervene in order to stop her from killing herself out of exhaustion,

* OddFriendship: With Cahir. Gallatin calls him an "old friend" and despite their mutual snark at each other and the fact that normally an Elf and a Human would be a strange friendship in the Witcher World, they deeply respect the other and have immense trust and regard in each other, to the point that Cahir outright offered Gallatin to be the commander of the Elves fighting for Nilfgaard. [[spoiler:This, however does not safe him from being killed by Cahir himself under the implied orders of Emhyr, tragically enough.]]

* BrutalHonesty: Absolutely rakes Francesca Findabair and Filavandrel through the coals with a ''very'' poignant TheReasonYouSuckSpeech without any once of hesitation or fear, calling them out for not directly helping Scoia'tael and thier cause and doing, in his eyes, the bare minimum to aid them while focusing all thier strength in thier "secret mission."

* AFatherToHisMen: Makes it abundantly clear from his [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first scene]] that the life and safety of his fellow Scoia'tael are his first priority and points out that serving under Nilfgaard means that ''all'' elves in the end will be free. This is actually one of the main reasons why he initially clashed with Francesca Findabair, as he believed she was too focused on her personal goals and not in the good of the elves as a whole. When we see him interacting with his men, he's making sure all of them eat in order to regain thier strength for future battles and its noticeable that he's serving them first before he takes his own share of the food. He's absolutely ''furious'' after the Battle Of Shaerrawedd, when it becomes clear that Francesca had her own agenda and said agenda coused the death of several dozen elves at the hands of [[PapaWolf Geralt.]]

* OddFriendship: Briefly had this with Ciri, a princess and granddaughter of specifically Calanthe at that.
