Mutant assassin

Mutant Assassins are creatures unique to the game.

Mutation and training makes witchers excellent killers. The problem is their conscience, which prevents them from carrying out political assassinations or causing terror among common folk. The laws of the market say that if there's demand, it must be satisfied as soon as possible – which is why Salamandra created the mutant assassin.

Journal Entry

"Unflappable confidence, strength and courage - these are the Greater Brothers' mottos. These virtues are indispensable for victory, but not sufficient on their own - basic rules of war must not be ignored. While forming new units of knights we need to remember about auxiliary divisions, which will provide the army with more flexibility on the battlefields around the world."
