* NiceGuy: Always polite and willing to help our favourite witcher. Only after he’s accused of working with the Salamandra he loses his temper and calls him a mutant.[[spoiler: But even then he easily forgives Geralt after he admits that he was wrong.]]

* NoSocialSKills: Downplayed, but as Geralt muses: ''the absent-minded alchemist seems nice, but it is obvious that scientific theories are of greater concern to him than the more prosaic aspects of life.''

[[folder:The Professor]]

-> Voiced by Teresa Gallagher (''The Witcher'')

[[folder:Jacques de Aldersberg]]
-> Voiced by Andrew Wincott (''The Witcher'')

The founder of the Order of the Flaming Rose and its current grandmaster. Fanatically opposed to nonhumans.

* [[spoiler:BigBad: Of the first video game.]]
* [[spoiler:TheChessmaster]]
* TheChosenOne: A letter in ''The Witcher 3'' reveals he believed he was destined to stop the White Frost. [[spoiler: Which makes him the Unchosen One since Ciri is the one who ultimately stops it. He had already failed at this point, however, and was trying to figure out a way to help humanity survive.]]
* DarkMessiah: Imagines himself to be the savior for the people of the North. Geralt puts a stop to that.
* [[spoiler:FamousLastWords: '''That sword is for monsters'''.]]
* FantasticRacism: What else do you expect from the leader of the human-supremacist group?
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: If he is Alvin, which the game all but spells out, his hatred of elves is very likely motivated by the massacre of the town he was staying in before he teleported away.]]
** In the VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt, a letter reveals [[spoiler: he's already tried and failed to destroy the White Frost. Hence his plan in the first game. He's been driven insane by the knowledge the world is doomed due to him not being strong enough.]]
* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath: Geralt kills him with the silver sword, which is better-suited for killing monsters.]]
* KnightTemplar: This describes the Order of the Flaming Rose in general. [[spoiler:However, he in particular takes it to its logical extreme.]]
* MagicKnight: The first thing we see of him is a person in platemail throwing a fireball.
* [[spoiler:ManBehindTheMan: He is the one secretly pulling the strings behind Azar Javed and Salamandra.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:It's implied that he's the adult version of Alvin.]]
** It's confirmed in VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt by a letter.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans
* WeCanRuleTogether: Would very much like Geralt to join him and the Order of the Flaming Rose (which makes an exception for its hatred of nonhumans regarding Witchers just for him) so he can [[spoiler: lead the Exodus away from the Wolf's Blizzard.]]
* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler: Is funding his order of holy knights with money gained by selling Fisstech on the black market. This allows his knights to operate without hitting people up for money and get better PR. Then he starts rousing up the nonhumans to riot so he can cause chaos, which is designed to force King Foltest to either hand over power or look weak. In the latter case, his daughter is also cursed to be a Strigga again so Jacques can seize the throne for himself. This is all so he can become King of Temeria and lead its people in a mass exodus South when the White Frost hits so he can save them all.]]

[[folder:Vincent Meis]]
-> Voiced by Jeff Harding (''The Witcher'')

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He is able to convince the villagers to attack you, despite the fact that you just killed the monster that was plaguing the village.
