His Holiness Cyrus Engelkind Hemmelfart is the hierarch of Novigrad, religious leader of Northern Kingdoms. He was a grizzled old man and a noted racist. He was one of the negotiators of the peace treaty that concluded the second Nilfgaardian War.

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt[ | ]

In the game, the Hierarch is not directly seen, however during the quest "No Place Like Home", the person Geralt, Lambert and Eskel mistakenly contact via megascope is almost surely him.

There is also a possibility to acquire a painting of him and give it to Dandelion or display it in Corvo Bianco.
