Agobard was a Redanian brothel owner in service to Lord Potrim of Neisse sometime during the 13th century. Every Tuesday night, he would bring prostitutes to Potrim's estate to satiate the lord's desires.[1]
Biography[]
After years of Agobard's assistance in covering up Potrim's incestuous rape of his young daughter Giltine, she fell pregnant with his child, though wishing not to keep it, asked her father for help. Potrim summoned a lamia working nearby to help terminate the birth, though not long after the creature went mad learning she had unknowingly supported their taboo relationship, ending up angrily possessing women around Neisse to kill five men. After an offer of his swordsman's aid from Potrim, Agobard decided to search for a witcher. Soon after, Geralt of Rivia took the contract and captured her, the townspeople finalising the matter by burning her at the stake. After her execution, and after paying him, Agobard invited Geralt back to Neisse for a night at the local inn.
During the night, Geralt returned with the lord's wife Juna who had been missing and so Agobard led the witcher to Potrim's estate. There, the lord seemed disinterested in his wife's misadventures and simply asked Geralt to travel into the Kestrel Mountains to find his daughter, which he obliged.
After Geralt returned the following night with Giltine and retreated to the inn with Potrim, Agobard arrived and offered the witcher a wide variety of prostitutes, though the offer was declined. Several hours later though, Agobard sent the redhead Adriana up to his room to "make m'lord happy", which allowed Geralt to see past Agobard's deception (after the prostitute became possessed by the lamia), and his years of covering up Potrim's sadistic crimes. The witcher dragged Agobard outside and beat the truth out of him before riding to Potrim's estate.
Agobard returned home to his wife and daughter, a short peace interrupted within hours when Giltine (possessed by the lamia) marched with the house guards, now in her service due to her father's death, to Agobard's door, demanding he come out lest his family be killed. Giltine ordered the brothel owner to be beheaded, and as the sword was being swung down, Geralt ran in, using aard to push away the executioner. The witcher fought off the guards, and as he went to take Giltine back to the Kestrel Mountains, he told the Redanian he was "filth, Agobard, a worm that shouldn't live", before riding off.[1]
