ALLIES AND ACQUAINTANCES<br />
Dijkstra<br />
Sigismund Dijkstra—former Redanian count, one-time chief of that kingdom’s<br />
special forces, and current crime boss in Novigrad. As he was an<br />
important character in the books, we drew on the descriptions of him<br />
there as we designed his look for the game. Dijkstra as presented in the<br />
books is a spy that goes against most stereotypes we have about that profession.<br />
Rather than a thin, rat-like individual with dark eyes staring out<br />
of a black hood, he is a strong man of nearly seven feet who prefers richly<br />
ornamented, brightly colored garb and hides an astute, enterprising mind<br />
under a somewhat sleepy face.<br />
Voorhis<br />
Morvran Voorhis is a true Nilfgaardian, a title rightfully applied only to<br />
those born in the core lands of the Empire. This young, promising officer<br />
is the scion of an ancient imperial family, and many see in him a possible<br />
candidate for the imperial throne.<br />
Voorhis dresses after the Nilfgaardian style, meaning he limits his clothing<br />
to a color palette consisting of black and gold. This drawing shows an early<br />
design for the character, one whose task was to convey Morvran’s overall<br />
nature: proud, aware of his high rank and what it entails, and equally comfortable<br />
on the battlefield or in courtly salons.
