* [[spoiler:StableTimeLoop: Vanishes into time, and presumably grows up to be [[BigBad Jacques de Aldersburg]].]]

[[folder:Jacques de Aldersberg]]

* [[spoiler:BigBad: Of the first video game.]]
* [[spoiler:TheChessmaster]]: See XanatosGambit below.

* [[spoiler:FamousLastWords: ''That sword is for monsters!'']]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: If he is Alvin, which the game all but spells out, his hatred of elves is very likely motivated by the fact that the inhabitants of Murky Waters, the village he and Geralt he was staying in, was held hostage by Toruviel's commando unit before he teleported away.]]

* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath: Geralt kills him with the silver sword, which is better-suited for killing monsters.]]

* [[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

* ContinuitySnarl: There's no other way to look at it. CD Projekt's other dual decisions earlier in the game had interesting moral shades of grey coupled with genuine ramifications down the path. But "spare" Berengar (even though he will attack you with intent to ''kill'' if you refuse to roll over and forgive him and instead [[DisproportionateRetribution quite justifiably tell him to get out of your face]]) and Geralt will spout some nonsense about facing Javed alone being "suicide" even though it's perfectly possible to beat the sorcerer alone after Javed butchers the B man in a flash. The choice of killing Berengar and acquiring his unique wolf medallion (which also explains the amulet change when you wear Raven's armour) is by far the better story-driven reason for Geralt's survival against a powerful mage.

* SenselessSacrifice: If he comes to aid you against Azar, it is 99.9% guaranteed that he will die. Saving him doesn't even give you additional dialogues or journal entries, so his death is pretty much canon, especially considering that he's not even given a mention in the second game and in the third [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg he exists only for Vesemir and Geralt to remind each other of what a drip]] he was in a little-known side quest.

* DirtyCoward: Thinks of himself as this in retrospect for allying himself with the Salamandra.

* RealityEnsues: Geralt can give him the final push to help him muster his courage and go after Salamandra... but this isn't a fairy tale and a man who's spent most of his time running away from his problems instead of confronting them is not going to be great backup -- he let's Geralt go OneManArmy as he assaults the old mansion, then jumps in at the last moment to fight Javed! [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome Aaand... get his skull crushed with a flaming spiked mace]].

* FourEyesZeroSoul: Spot's a pair of smoky-shaded round spectacles.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Get's half-devoured by a Kikimore Queen. For extra gory detail: his left leg (and a good deal of his lower torso) is ripped clean out of his arse and swallowed whole by the massive insectoid then his screaming form is thrown with such force that every remaining bone and organ in his body is likely liquefied when he lands at Geralt's feet.]]

* ArrowCatch: Yup Professor, [[spoiler: witcher's ''can'' parry bolts in mid-flight.]]

* CheerfulChild
* ChildMage

* HeartwarmingOrphan

* OracularUrchin

* [[spoiler:TheChessmaster]]

* {{Knighting}}: If you make peace with all sides, she will dub Geralt as her last knight and reward him with the sword she knights him with.

* [[spoiler: TheDragon]]

A mysterious mutant who may have been one of the two brothers that Letho knew to be on the Path ([[Characters/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings see here]]), or even a master creation of Javed's flawed but successful mutation process on adult bodies. Whichever the case, he attempts to assassinate King Foltest during the epilogue of the first game, perhaps as a fail-safe to the Grand-master's plans and he nearly succeeds too; if not for the intervention of a white-haired wanderer...

-->'''Voiced by:''' Stanley Townsend '' '''(The Witcher)''' ''

[[caption-width-right:350:''"What say you, witcher? Still the indifferent tough guy?!"'']]

The youngest of the Wolf School witchers, an orphan from the Second War with Nilfgaard who was just initiated about six years prior to the game's opening by Vesemir. He gets killed by the Professor during the prologue.

* BadassNormal: Hasn't received any mutation courses yet holds up against a horde of bandits through conditioning alone. {{Subverted}} then however, as he, unlike a true witcher, is unable to deflect a crossbow-bolt and pays for his bravery with his life.

* {{Knighting}}: She can dub Geralt as her last knight.

An enchanting mystical Water Nymph or Vila, of such harmonious moral character and attunement to spiritual peace that she is revered as a goddess of the land, of both water and earth surrounding the southern shore of Lake Vizima. Once, hosts of knights in shining armour defended her honour against other mystical forces in the world but now, only the Hermit and the Fisher King remain as the last of her loyal servants. Through her presence the fruit and fields are always in abundance, the people are content and happy and all around the year, summer reigns eternal.

* BigGood: To both the residents of Murky Waters, as well as the Vodyanoi, who (initially) despise each other.

* PhysicalGod: She can give Geralt an enchanted ruby made from her own blood and but she also ''manifests'' herself from the water of the lake, before becoming one with it once more.
