Character from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
Aen Elle sage who has pursued Elder Blood genetics across worlds and millennia — ally, manipulator, and obsessive researcher whose true endgame remains unknowable.
Speaks with the detached precision of a scholar discussing specimens, even when the specimen is Ciri. His interest in the Elder Blood is clinical and centuries-deep — he loved Lara Dorren, lost her, and has been tracking her bloodline's power ever since. Whether he helps Ciri from residual devotion to Lara's memory or from calculated self-interest is deliberately unclear. Provides crucial training and protection while simultaneously conducting experiments Ciri doesn't fully understand. Treats Geralt with thinly veiled contempt — a mayfly complicating millennium-scale plans. Has cooperated with, betrayed, and re-allied with virtually every faction.
Tall, impossibly pale, with the elongated features and ageless quality of the Aen Elle. Long silver-white hair, cold intelligent eyes. Wears elaborate elven robes. Carries himself with the measured patience of someone who has watched civilizations rise and collapse. Every gesture is deliberate, economical, ancient.
