Ivar Evil-Eye

Ivar Evil-Eye was a former member of the Order of Witchers and the School of the Bear. He later founded the School of the Viper.
==Biography==
Nothing is known about his life before he became a witcher.
When Ivar underwent the mutations, he responded exceptionally well and was selected for further, more complex experiments. Out of those chosen, he was the only one to survive because the mages were only able to complete the trial partially. As a result of these experiments, he gained his "Evil Eye," which would give him his moniker. His left eye allowed him to see various other worlds, leading him to discover the Wild Hunt. He witnessed them dash along the Spiral from world to world, killing, conquering, and kidnapping as they went. These visions became an obsession for him.
When the witcher Arnaghad led a posse of his fellow witchers against the Order, Ivar was among them. He fought alongside Arnaghad against his former brothers, and when the posse lost, he left with them. He was a witcher from the School of the Bear after Arnaghad founded it. As the years passed, Ivar focused more on his visions. Realizing he couldn't stop the Wild Hunt alone and that he would get no support from Arnaghad, who believed witchers were only meant to kill monsters for pay, Ivar, along with a group of other witchers, attempted to kill Arnaghad and take over the School. They failed in their attempt, as Arnaghad survived, forcing them to leave the School.
Ivar took his group into the Tir Tochair mountains, where he founded the School of the Viper. He dedicated its purpose to learning as much as possible about the Wild Hunt with the intent of defeating them. To this end, he collected a vast library of books and scrolls on the subject, leading even those witchers from the school who were unaware of its founding purpose to believe that was the true mission of the school.
Although he came to know his enemy extremely well, he was never able to act against them. As he didn't share their means of transportation, he could only watch them. By the time the Wild Hunt was defeated by the witcher Geralt of Rivia, Ivar was long dead.

:Scroll 1: Ivar founded the Viper School having a great purpose in mind—contrary to rumours that its sole reason for existence was to offer less savoury services. The grandmaster understood that he would not be able to achieve his true goal alone—he intended to find and defeat the Wild Hunt.
:Scroll 2: You see, Ivar was one of the unfortunate few who endured the mutations extremely well, and so was selected for further, more complicated experiments. Of those subjected to these enhancements, only he survived—perhaps due to the mages only managing to partially complete the trial.
:Scroll 3: As a result of these experiments, Ivar gained his moniker, as well as a new sight. His so-called "Evil Eye" saw a different world. Many other worlds, really. With his eye, he watched as ghostly riders dashed along the Spiral, and observed how they'd kidnap, kill, and conquer. Forever haunting Ivar's special vision, these spectres became his obsession.
:Scroll 4: Unfortunately, while he managed to get to know his enemy extremely well, he never got close enough to do much about it. Though he could glimpse their rampage from afar, he shared not their mobility, and found himself endlessly chasing shadows. When the Wild Hunt was finally defeated, Ivar was long dead.
:Chest: The Witcher School of the Viper made their home in the stronghold of Gorthur Gvaed. Guarded by a remarkable tower adorned by a frighteningly ominous spiral coiled around its contours. Yet it held not a candle to the terrifying moat that surrounded it—deep by several hundred feet and truly... breathtaking. No one could tell if what was filling it should still be called water. The smells above the moat were, to put it mildly, hard to forget. Viper witchers, who survived the fall of the stronghold, later joked that it was the stench that led the Usurper's army to find Gorthur Gvaed. Countless soldiers died in this gutter. According to legends, so many perished that one could have made their way to the other side of the moat on a bridge composed entirely of their corpses. And the odour grew even worse.
