Damien de la Tour

Damien de la Tour is the captain of the Ducal Guard in Toussaint during the reign of Anna Henrietta. He is a knight through and through, completely devoted to his post and to the duchess. He carries out her orders, keeps her secrets and listens when she needs it, and it is hard not to suspect he is quietly in love with her. When Geralt arrives at court, Damien treats him as a rival to be put in his place, and the witcher meets the challenge with cool indifference.

Damien de la Tour in The Witcher 3
Damien is at the duchess’ side through most of Blood and Wine’s main story. In The Beast of Toussaint, Geralt meets him at the tourney grounds and gets the details of the Beast’s victims from him, which leads to the realisation that Milton is next. In Wine is Sacred, he and the duchess ride with Geralt to Castel Ravello, he sets up an ambush for the Cintrian’s men and brings news that someone has put a price on the witcher’s head. Having fought side by side with Geralt, he slowly warms to him.

In Capture the Castle, Damien leads the Ducal Guard in the assault on Dun Tynne. During The Night of Long Fangs, Geralt can track down his battered unit in the streets of Beauclair, save him from a vampire and learn from the wounded captain where Syanna was taken.

What happens to Damien de la Tour?
Damien survives in every ending, but his relationship with Geralt depends on your choices. In the best outcome he and the witcher end up friends, in their own gruff way. If Syanna is killed by Dettlaff, Damien blames Geralt for it, even if he is far too proper to say so openly. In Burlap is the New Stripe he is the one who tells Geralt he is free to leave prison thanks to a certain bard, though he thinks the witcher deserves to rot there. If Syanna kills her sister during Pomp and Strange Circumstance, Damien shoots Syanna with a crossbow, then blames himself and spends years in mourning, which ends any chance of friendship with Geralt. Our Witcher 3 endings guide covers how each outcome is reached.
