The Wolf & The Cat Play Quest Question [minor spoiler]

[Aplaudible]

So something is bugging me about this quest. Was Gaelin mentioned in some of the books or notes in the game somewhere? Because right before the decision to either fight or kill Gaelin. Gaelin remarks that his temper got the best of him, Geralt then replies "Hasn't been the first time either has it?"

When Hunting for grandmaster gear I swear I remember reading about a cat school person who was unstable....was it him??? Or someone else....

Not sure if thats the Polish you're talking about, but in english version its Gaetan.

Geralt simply sensed it, i reckon between his body language, behavior, and the school of the cats reputation of hired assassins. They're just about all "unstable".

He is not wrong either, Gaetan had done it before, multiple times. To what extent, and if he just wiped entire villages each time, nobody knows.

Cat School witchers are generally not in high regard all around. Geralt merely suggests that it was not the first time (good call though).
On the topic of info - you don't really get anything on him before the quest and talk, but if you spare him he'll lead Geralt to his hideout, where you can find a letter which says Cat School is overtaken by soldiers and that there are bounties on Gaetan and another Cat witcher, with two more already dead.

Thanks a lot guys. Great responses. Good community! This quest is brilliant in that it leaves you so damn torn on what to do. I love that about CDP games. <3

I still am really curious though if he was the one mentioned in the cat diaries while hunting for witcher cat gear.

I think I am going to spare him this time. They are going to die soon anyways. Plus with regards to what BuzzardBee just said It's not his fault he became this way.

i spared him since witchers're few and dying out anyway :/ plus also met him nearend of game because quest was patched in later so it was bit like my feeling at end of TW2 actually :)
