Professor (assassin)

Professor is a cunning assassin that took part in Salamandra's attack on Kaer Morhen.

Professor's trademark is his highly sophisticated choice of words, and witty comments. He detests witchers and regards them as relics of old times, hampered by their sentimental notions.

Why he joined Salamandra will always remain a mystery. If it was willingly or because of blackmail, no one can tell. But he apparently wasn't very happy with his choice, he and Azar Javed having had certain differences of opinion.

Journal Entry

 * "One of the leaders of the Salamandra attack on Kaer Morhen was a man called the Professor, who seemed to be a cunning assassin. The other leader was a mage.


 * It turned out that the assault on Kaer Morhen was not the Professor's first foul deed. The arrest warrant shows clearly that my opponent is a wanted man.


 * The Professor was released from the dungeon right in front of my eyes. He mocked the law and proved to me just how powerful Salamandra is.


 * The Professor is dead. Defeating him wasn't easy, but it was very satisfying."

Trivia

 * The Professor from the computer game (called "Magister" in the Polish version) and Ralf Blunden (called "Profesor" in Polish), from the novels are not one and the same person. Ralf Blunden was killed by Geralt in Anchor, long before the attack on Kaer Morhen.
 * According to Triss Merigold in the Prologue, the Professor is wanted in Redania, Temeria and Kaedwen.
 * Chatting with Eskel during the Prologue reveals that the disfigured witcher has heard the Professor's a "pro" who has 17 men's lives on his conscience.
 * The Professor promised the bandits who attacked Kaer Morhen 50 orens for every witcher slain.
