Ryker Woods (MLTO)

Ryker Woods was a semi-main character and an Antagonist in "MLIV:TO".
He is one of Alais Keymoira's most loyal henchmen, tasked with eradicating all faulty elements that hinder her and prevent her from completing some sort of dangerous and treacherous task.
Despite his relatively minor role in Chapter II, he serves as a major Antagonist.
== Personality ==
Ryker is a brash, impatient and insulting individual with no sense of honor. He often uses his high status to insult others that he deems beneath his notice and often uses his superior strength to prove his point.
Being of the Fire element, Ryker is also very easy to anger. His temper is like a short fuse that is always about to go off and destroy everything around it. Thus, he is deemed as a rather dangerous individual who most not be angered, even by his own allies, as he will not hesitate to hurt anyone who annoys him.
Despite the fact that he is always an unstable and untrustworthy individual, Ryker is still trusted enough to help Alais Keymoira and is more than happy to stay by her side, as she pays him a lot to watch her back. 
In other words, Ryker is a shady individual with a fiery temper. And yet, unlike most enemies Geralt and his allies have met so far, he has the ability to back his own words up with powerful attacks.
== Death ==
* Kaiden Kaos (Caused, Alive)
While Ryker was weakened, Kaiden used this rare opportunity to dump an entire bucket of water on him. As a result, Ryker is soaked and has trouble moving around, making him the perfect conduit for something truly dangerous.
A pitch black cloud soon appears in the sky above the man, striking him with a massive thunderbolt and nearly frying his entire body. He is still alive, but greatly weakened and severely wounded as a result.
* Emela Innanu (Alive)
Enraged by Kaiden's attempt to kill him. Ryker leaps forward once again, only to be struck in the neck with a scythe by Emela. He is allowed to bleed to death, perishing not long afterwards.
Soon after his demise, Ryker reanimates and causes Harper's demise, going for a nearby group of bandits shortly after his death. It is unknown whether he was put down or he still roams around as an Undead.
== Trivia ==
* Ryker's name is of German origin. It means "wealthy".
