Jacques de Aldersberg
Jacques de Aldersberg is the Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose. Across the story of Witchers’ Secrets, Geralt slowly learns that he is the one behind Salamandra and that he holds the witchers’ stolen secrets.
His role comes into the open in Act V, in Old Vizima. During The Flame That Cleanses, after the fighting with the Scoia’tael, Geralt and Siegfried reach the swamp cemetery, where the Grand Master is said to be fighting nearby. At the end of Sweet Revenge, Geralt sails to Vizima to warn the king and bring the Grand Master to justice.
In the Epilogue, in The Ashes of Vizima, the king offers Geralt 8,000 orens to kill him, and Geralt fights his way through burning Vizima to the Cloister to confront him. The chase continues in Frozen Reflections, a vision of Vizima frozen in ice that the Grand Master claims is the future. Along the way he lectures Geralt about nonhumans, until the two finally fight at the heart of the vision.
In The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, Jacques de Aldersberg is remembered as the charismatic leader of the Order of the Flaming Rose, which he headed as Grand Master. He was killed by Geralt and his revolt against King Foltest was put down, yet both events had a lasting effect on Temeria‘s political situation.
