Letho

Letho of Gulet, also known as the Kingslayer, is a Witcher from the School of the Viper. His closest associates are Aukes and Serrit, also Kingslayers and Witchers from the School of the Viper. For reasons which were initially unknown, he enlisted the help of Iorveth and the Scoia'tael to aid him in his plan to kill the kings of the Northern Kingdoms. To back his claim, this man showed Iorweth a head he claims belonged to Demawend, King of Aedirn and Sovereign of the Pontar valley.

Journal Entry
''Disguised as a blind monk, the mysterious assassin took Geralt by surprise. Displaying immense self-control and lightning reflexes - not to mention a talent for acting - he murdered the king before the witcher's very eyes. He then lept out the window of the solar before Geralt could grab him. Surviving the fall unharmed, the assassin fled with the aid of some Scoia'tael.''

''The information in Vernon Roche's posession served to confirm what Geralt had witnessed. A man matching the kingslayer's description had been seen in the compan of Scoia'tael near the trading post of Flotsam. Finding him seemed like the witcher's only chance.''

Plot
Letho is first seen in the Prologue, where he is revealed to be King Foltest's killer. In a later cutscene, he appears to have killed King Demavend of Aedirn and comes to Iorveth seeking Scoia'tel assistance in killing Foltest.

In Act I, Letho attempts to betray Iorveth by trying to turn of his lieutenants against him, the elf refuses and Letho kills his entire group, leaving the elf to be captured by Flotsam's guards. Geralt later brings Iorveth to Letho as a ruse to expose his treachery, and when Iorveth and his Scoia'tel are attacked by the Blue Stripes, Geralt and Letho battle each other. Letho explains to Geralt that Geralt once saved his life, and leaves to kidnap Triss and force her to teleport them to Vergen. Letho tells Geralt that they are now 'even' and escapes.

Letho is later revealed to be a Witcher of the Viper School. Geralt first encountered him while chasing the Wild Hunt in search for Yennefer, rescuing Letho from death while he was trying to kill a ferocious monster. He works with two other witchers of the Viper School, Auckes and Serrit, who make an attempt on King Henselt's life in Act II.
