Biography[]
Past[]
The past of this viper school witcher is unknown, only that he was in the south, somewhere in the Nilfgaardian empire, where as a child he was taken by witchers from the viper school, becoming one of them. During the witcher training where he passed all the trials and mutations, he met Letho, Serrit and Auckes with whom he befriended.
In the winter of 1269, four viper school witchers, including an unnamed witcher, helped Geralt find the Wild Hunt and its king Eredin because he saved Letho from the Slyzards when they came upon the path .In the night on Midinváerne, all the viper school witchers helped Geralt fight the elves of the Wild Hunt, the fight was hard and they would have overlooked it if not for Geralt who interrupted by making a deal with Eredin where he traded himself in exchange for her beloved Yennefer whom he was looking for. When Geralt started to leave, he asked the four witchers to take care of her beloved Yennefer.
At one point, the four witchers looked after Yennefer as much as they could, even though she was suffering from amnesties causing Yennefer to become out of control and sometimes cause trouble in the group. It was her antics that caused the four witchers to be captured by the Nilfgaardians, where they ended up in the Nilfgaardian dungeons where the Nilfgaardian emperor visited them, offering the witchers cooperation with them, where they were to kill the rulers of the northern kingdoms on his orders for their freedom and rebuilding the witcher viper school.

When the witcher secretly attacked, he killed two guards and Foltest's servant, then tries to kill the king with his sword, but thanks to the iron armor that Foltest wears, he fails and at the same moment Geralt appears and intends to fight him. During the fight, Geralt throws a dagger at the assassin, but he dodges his first attack by defending himself, then Geralt pushes the attacker away with an Igni sign that generates Sparks. Both witchers use their swords in combat where the attacker turns out to be faster and more agile than Geralt, causing him trouble. Geralt, wanting to use the element of surprise, tossed the coins was supposed to be a reward for Geralt given by Foltest on the assassin. This allows the attacker to scatter the coins after cutting the bag, distracting him, and thanks to this, Geralt cuts off his arm and kills him.
After his death, Geralt took off his mask to discover the identity of the mysterious killer. After removing the mask, Geralt was shocked to discover that the assassin who wanted to kill Foltest was a witcher he knew.
