Velerad

Velerad is a noble who, as the city's burgomeister, governs Vizima, the capital of Temeria. In King Foltest's absence, Velerad holds the highest authority in the city. He was the one with whom Geralt negotiated the contract for lifting Princess Adda's striga curse. He first appears in the short story "The Witcher".

In Michael Kandel's translation of the short story, his name was changed to "Ethmond".

In the TV series, Velerad appeared in the episode "Rozdroże" (Crossroads) where he is portrayed by Marek Bargiełowski.

Episodes

 * 08: Rozdroże

In the game, Velerad enjoys the distinction of being the burgomeister of Vizima. He can be found on the ground level of the guardhouse in the Trade Quarter after Gold Rush. The rumors flying around town suggest that he is ineffective in his role and spends most of his days drinking. Or perhaps this is simply the appearance he wishes to maintain.

He is a confidant of Princess Adda and knows about most of the goings on around town, despite what the citizenry considers evidence to the contrary.

In the Polish version of the game, he is voiced by Paweł Szczesny. His English voice actor is unknown.

Journal entry

 * Velerad governs Vizima, the capital city of Temeria. In Foltest's absence, Velerad holds the highest authority in the city. The burgomeister knows me from long ago, since he was the one with whom I negotiated the contract for lifting Princess Adda's striga curse. Although I don't remember Velerad, I have a vague feeling that he has grown old and taken to drink since we first met. People say that Velerad has lost his authority and doesn't run the city as efficiently as he used to.


 * The burgomeister seemed glad to see the striga problem solved. He told me his hands were tied and he could not help me find those guilty of reactivating the curse. I got the impression that Velerad cannot handle the situation now that a rebellion has engulfed Vizima.
