Golan Vivaldi



Golan Vivaldi is a dwarf, and part of "The Vivaldis", a well known family of dwarven financiers. One of their banks is located in the nearby Trade Quarter, but it is now being run by new human owners after a hostile takeover.

Vivaldi is very touchy about his race and has always had a fierce hatred of humans. The takeover, and resulting bankruptcy, combined with his racial views easily explains the conditions in which Geralt finds him, namely bitter and living in squalor in the nonhuman district of the Temple Quarter. He is right next door to Kalkstein, in fact.

Actually, in one possible scenario, Vivaldi is being arrested by City Guards at his home when Geralt first finds him. Geralt must then bail him out of jail in order to speak with him.

He knows Yaevinn and has had dealings, of a purely financial nature of course, with the Scoia'tael. Despite his suffering at the hands of humans, Vivaldi won't help the Scoia'tael during the Worth its Weight in Gold quest, and wouldn't, even if he still had control of his bank and fortune. Yaevinn, however, will disregard Vivaldi's negative attitude to his cause, and will try to get access to the bank's vaults by tricking Geralt into clearing an underground passage into the bank in Echoes of Yesterday and the subsequent bank heist, Gold Rush.
