The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Character Profile

CD Projekt RED's official The Witcher 2 website has been updated with information and a couple of images for Iorweth, the elf we've seen attacking Geralt in the E3 footage floating around the web.
For some he's the most wanted bandit in the Pontar valley, for others - an indomitable fighter for the rights of nonhumans. During the war against Nilfgaard, he was the leader of scoia'tael commando unit which was heatedly racking Northern Kingdoms, and later - for many months - escaping Temerian special forces.

Iorweth survived the bloody pursuit. After his unit was broken up, once more he gathered veterans disadvantaged by injustice, rebellious elven youth, dwarven mercenaries hunted by law. He created a commando unit, which became a legend.

Iorweth knows no mercy for his enemies. He treats both humans and elves suspected of collaboration with equal cruelty. Hidden in the wilderness on the border between Temeria and Aedirn, he attacks the rich and slits the throats of the poor. He fought against special forces of Temeria many times and always managed to escape any ambush. For Vernon Roche, he's the enemy number one. For local garrisons, he's Nemesis which everyone should hide from behind thick walls.

But even infamous Iorweth has his secret. Those who see him only as a war beast, a rebel immersed in cruelty are wrong. Iorweth is also an elf, a son of a proud and sophisticated race. A servant for the idea which will soon become well-known throughout the world.
