What happened to Alvin from The Witcher 1

[AlexTRONIC]

He has the elder blood powers like Ciri right? Can teleport through space and time?

All i remember he vanishes from Murky waters in Chapter 4 of witcher 1 and never to be seen again or even talked about by Triss

I have finished The Witcher 3 before, and i dont recall anyone mentioning him. Maybe someone does i just dont remember because during my last playthrough i had not played the previous games.

And he didnt show up in witcher 2 either.

There is a letter you can find when you visit Marcus Hodgson for the first time in Novigrad, as part of a quick secondary quest 'Message from an Old Friend'.

Well he's seen again and his plot wrapped up in Witcher 1 -

It is odd he's not mentioned in 2 or 3 beyond the most cursory nods like the letter in the bookshop referenced above.

Pretty sure CDPR wanted a Ciri analogue in W1 but kept it self contained to the first game as they gained more confidence working with the actual core characters of the fiction.

Pretty much this, it's why they didn't touch Yennefer until W3 because of how intrinsically linked she and Geralt are with each other and with Ciri.

Because (MASSIVE ending spoiler for Witcher 1) Geralt kills him. Alvin turns into Jacques de Aldersberg, Grand Master of the Order of the White Rose, because of his uncontrollable time hopping. Aldersberg has simmilar powers to Alvin and rebels against king Foltest.

He's a Source, may not be of the Elder Blood though. And yeah, that .^
Its also rumoured in Vizima that Siegfried of Denesle is actually his bastard son.

A lot of plot lines from W1 and W2 were abandoned and never referenced again, just in passing and such.

It was done to make it easier for new players into the series to not be confused by constant references to past events, like in Mass Effect and Dragon Age series.

There are nods here and there, but mostly for fanservice. The good kind, this time.

wait is this true? I do remember geralt finding the dimeritium amulet on Aldesberg at the end of the Witcher 1, made me think the same way but the fact that Geralt did not even talk about it or act surprised made me think that it wasnt Alvin.

Confirmation

Tw3 letter 04
After a long time. The theory of Alvin being Grand Master Jacques de Aldersberg was confirmed in final part of Geralt's trilogy, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, in secondary quest Message from an Old Friend where bookseller Marcus Thaddeus Knut Hodgson tells the witcher about message that someone left him long time ago. This letter is named Letter from "A" and is placed inside the book titled My Manifesto - The Life of Jacques de Aldersberg.

Its never explicitly said to be so, just implied. Its always left to interpetation.

Could be true, could just be a manifistation of the source power from another dimension. An entirely different person, the same person in different time or any other. I find its fun, that in the end you're left to explain it the way you like most.

Not in Witcher 1 no, it was however confirmed in Witcher 3 in a quest called Message from an Old Friend.
