Actor Jack Meyers («Say Nothing») has been working on the 4th season of «The Witcher» for some time now, but now it has been revealed who he will play. His character will be Roderick de Wette — a Nilfgaardian count and knight of the Order of the Flaming Rose, who can be found in the first game. Before that, Myers’ role was known only under the codename «River»
In the game, Roderick takes part in the quest «Witcher’s Secret», in which Geralt has to uncover a plot against King Foltest and protect Princess Adda. He himself never appeared in Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, but his relative Joachim de Wette plays a role in the later novels of the saga. It is not yet known whether he will appear in the series —.
Roderick is expected to be shown in an episode directed by Tricia Brock (probably episode 3 or 4). It is not a fact that his character will be similar to the version from the game or will fulfill his role. In addition, there doesn’t seem to be an Order of the Flaming Rose in the Netflix «Witcher» universe. Perhaps, in the series, it will be just one of the courtiers of Emperor Emhir var Emreis.
