Being Temerian, he held his king, Foltest, in high regard. He was also a capable fighter.\n\nEye color: Brown\nRace: Human\nGender: Male\n\nProfession: Commando\nRank(s): Commander\nAffiliation(s):\nBlue Stripes\nTemerian Army\nFoltest\nAbilities:\nLeadership skills\nSwordsmanship\n\nVernon Roche is defined by brutal loyalty, pragmatism, and a hot-tempered nature driven by a traumatic, impoverished childhood. He is a militant moralist who prioritizes state continuity and duty over abstract ideals, making him a dependable but morally compromised ally. \n\nKey Personality Traits:\n\nUnwavering Loyalty: He served King Foltest with absolute devotion, viewing him as a father figure who rescued him from poverty; this loyalty extended to fighting for Temeria’s survival even after the kingdom’s fall. \n\nPragmatic and Ruthless: Roche is a decisive, action-oriented commander who believes in \"paying debts with action,\" often employing brutal methods like assassination and guerrilla warfare to achieve political stability. \nEmotionally Reactive: He has a violent, aggressive response to being called a \"whoreson,\" a direct trauma response to his mother’s forced prostitution and the childhood insults he endured. \n\nComplex Morality: While feared as a xenophobic butcher by enemies like the Scoia'tael, he is capable of kindness and professional restraint, such as sparing Henselt or helping Geralt despite prior conflicts, proving he is not purely malicious.\n\nPatriotic Hardliner: He is willing to make humiliating compromises, including allying with the Nilfgaardian Empire, if it ensures the continued existence of Temeria, showing he values the nation's survival over ideological purity.
