'''Iorveth''' (Polish: ''Iorweth'') is an [[elf]], a well-known hater of humans, responsible for burning many human villages and civilian deaths, and was the commander of the last [[Scoia'tael]] commando to be broken during the [[Northern Wars#2nd Nilfgaard-Nordling War|second war]] with [[Nilfgaardian Empire|Nilfgaard]]. One of the elves under his command was [[Echel Traighlethan]] who was captured by the [[Redanian Secret Service]] and brought to [[Drakenborg]] to be hanged.

The character of '''Iorveth''' , despite being named from one character from the novels, is clearly modelled on another, [[Isengrim Faoiltiarna]]. He first appears in the cutscene on the beginning of the Chapter I of the game. It depicts what happened at about five months before the time of the game. He's approached by a [[Kingslayer|mysterious individual]] claiming to be a friend of [[nonhuman]]s with an offer: the man wants to kill kings for his own inscrutable reasons, and would like Iorveth's help in form of the elf's knowledge of secret trails and weapon stashes. To back his claim, this man shows Iorveth the head of [[Demavend]], King of [[Aedirn]] and Sovereign of the [[Pontar valley]].

Considered a mass murderer and terrorist, even by [[Saskia]], he has nontheless come to understand that the ways of the Scoia'tael are doomed to fail, hence the reason he did not join [[Yaevinn]] and instead chose to fight side by side with humans and dwarves to secure the foundation of an independent state in Upper Aedirn. A state with egalitarian laws between elves, humans and dwarves.

''Vendetta is Iorveth’s special skill. The hero disappears for a short while, only to reappear near the enemy and deal a powerful blow with his two scimitars, stunning them a second. If Iorveth manages to kill an enemy with Vendetta, then the cooldown of the skill is reduced by half. There is one more thing to this unique ability – since it basically makes Iorveth teleport to a spot (he only attacks if there is an enemy in range) he can use Vendetta as an escape tool, too.''
