Jerome Moreau

Chest: For many years Jerome lived with his destiny, feeling no anger or regret about it, with no desire to reverse the mutations. Long had he felt his father’s scheming shadow. So when professor Moreau lured him to Toussaint with a contract, he decided to put an end to this charade. Jerome confronted professor Moreau in 1121. After imprisoning the witcher using a paralyzing spell, he proceeded with mad and reckless experiments to free his son from the witcher’s mutations. Utterly ignoring his son’s contrary pleas for mercy. This process was not mild. Not at all. Brought to the brink of death on many occasions, he rose every time faster and stronger than before. And more… mutated. As a result of old Moreau’s experiments and in spite of his determination, Jerome became less and less human. Until the eighth day of autumn in 1122, the professor finally gave up. He collected his notes and closed his laboratory. As for the remains of his failed subject... He just burnt them, unwilling to face what he had done ever again.

Scroll 1: In 1087, after saving professor Tomas Moreau, a witcher demanded that which the scholar already had, but did not know of. From this day forward, Jerome, son of Tomas, became one of the children bound by the Law of Surprise.

Scroll 2: A few years later, the witcher came for young Jerome to take him to Kaer Seren, the home of the School of the Griffin. The boy was subjected to the usual physical training and mutations necessary to forge a witcher. Yet the process seemed mild to him as if he was particularly well suited for it.

Scroll 3: As a result, he mostly resembled an ordinary man, leaving only his silver sword and Griffin medallion to prove the contrary. Strangers and friends alike treated him better than the average witcher, with many failing to realize the fact that a mutant stood before them.

Scroll 4: Unfortunately, extraordinary resistance was to become Jerome's undoing. For professor Moreau did not forget about his lost son, keeping him under constant observation. His normalcy led to his father’s belief that the mutations could still be reversed.

Title challenge (for the Witcher): What the Dawn Brings

You have the dubious honour of naming the possible Jerome/Serrit fic continuation, because the vibes are chef’s kiss impeccable.

It’s a few days after Jerome’s escape from imprisonment, and Serrit has brought them to the foot of the Amell Mountains, where they found the furnished cave of one of the Belhaven Bears. The small one, Serrit specified, because apparently there’s two of them now. It’s as cozy, as a dusty cave can get, with vines and moss covering the entrance, light barely penetrating the dark. Jerome honestly prefers it that way. His eyes are hypersensitive from years in captivity and mutagenic torture, and his newly developed built-in night light - courtesy of the foglet genes - wouldn’t allow for total darkness anyway.

For the moment Serrit is away, slipped away into the rainy night to hunt; for deer, bird, or hare, Jerome honestly doesn’t have a preference. Food is food is food. After one was deprived of it for so long, even the bottom of a boot looks appetizing.

Jerome has time for some self-reflection, of coming to terms with the changes in himself (thoughts that he has so far put away into a mental box, locked away tightly; he had no need to think about them without a future), wondering about his relationship with Serrit, with the Griffins.

It’s tough. But not so tough, when his viper finally comes back at dawn, with skinned meat in hand and understanding patience glinting in slitted pupils.

Griffin Witchers

Cat | Bear | Viper

I’m hyperfixating on witcher lore this month,.,.,. gimme the happy hormones mhmmmhmmn

Kaer Seren

Kaer Seren’s literary collection was its greatest treasure and the envy of a group of overzealous mages. In their attempt to seize it for themselves, they destroyed the very thing they desired most.

Located at the sea end of a mountain range in Kovir and Poviss.

Reaching Kaer Seren by land proved too daunting a task for most. The locale also provided the residents of Kaer Seren access to seafaring traders, ensuring they were always well-supplied. Armed with crossbows, a secured position, and a reliable source of provisions, the Griffins remained ready and capable to repel any assault.

Nevertheless, not a single soldier was prepared to fight an avalanche unleashed by the Council of Mages.

Founder

Erland of Larvik

Erland founded the School of the Griffin, and hoped his emphasis on knightly values would help elevate the reputation of witchers among the common folk. Alas, his efforts would go in vain.

Erland stood as an example for the new witchers, training them to have honor in their practice and conviction in their hearts. Together, with the head sorcerer of the school, a new discipline was crafted, focusing on magic, preparedness, and flexibility.

Training

At Kaer Seren, students are afforded the luxury of choice when it comes to their final Trial. They either locate and retrieve a griffin’s egg, or recite the entirety of Liber Tenebrarum verbatim. To Old Keldar’s dismay, no one has ever chosen the latter.

Throughout the ages, the other schools respected the Griffins for their study of magic and fighting style that emphasized multiple opponents

They are unparalleled masters in the art of tracking and hunting, even amid the most inhospitable of environments. No matter the trail, they won’t rest until their prey is captured, or killed.

Most Griffins can split an apple in two from a hundred paces. Just make sure you don’t move.

Witcher Mentor

Knowledge will keep you alive far longer than might, dear boy.

Keldar was in charge of monster knowledge tutoring.

He had memorized the whole Liber Tenebrarum and was easily infuriated when his students provided stupid or no answer, mocking that they would likely go to hunt vampires covered with garlic and armed with Lebioda figurines.

When Kaer Seren was destroyed, he was the sole survivor of those at the fortress. He still guards the ruined fortress of his beloved school.

Some Lore from Gwent

Despite his many successful hunts and the renown and respect the School of the Griffin enjoyed, the tide eventually turned against the witchers. They had been too successful and by the late 1160s many monsters had been eradicated.

Suddenly rulers became suspicious and wary of the independent schools of hardened killers and as witchers were less useful, the churches saw a new opportunity to spread more anti-witcher propaganda.

Seizing on this moment, jealous sorcerers in turn caused an avalanche that buried Kaer Seren.

Erland was not at the keep when it happened, he was close enough to see the culprits and, not knowing how many of his brothers had survived, he decided to leave and found a cave in the mountains. Here, he wrote down all the knowledge he possessed into journals so that, when the last witcher had fallen and the monsters grew in numbers once again, humanity would know how to fight back.

What happened to Erland after this is unknown.

Armor

Griffin School equipment is of medium weight and amplifies the intensity of the wearer's Signs; as such, it is heavily implied that the school and its disciples may have specialized in the use of magic.

Three More Witchers

Coën

Coën spent his first winter at Kaer Morhen when Ciri was in the keep. He trained Ciri in sword combat.

'Coen?' ‘Aha?' 'I'm still not fast enough—' 'You're very fast.' 'Will I ever be as fast as you?' 'I doubt it.' 'Hmm . . . And are you—? Who's the best fencer in the world?' 'I've no idea.' 'You've never known one?' 'I've known many who believed themselves to be the best.' 'Oh! What were they? What were their names? What could they do?' 'Hold on, hold on, girl. I haven't got an answer to those questions. Is it all that important?' 'Of course it's important! I'd like to know who these fencers are. And where they are.' 'Where they are? I know that.' 'Ah! So where?' 'In cemeteries.'

- Ciri and Coën

His features are described as unusual for a witcher, as he retained scars from early childhood diseases, like chicken pox, which he covers with a beard, while most witchers were immunized before contracting such illnesses. This would suggest that he either contracted the disease unusually early in life, or that his witcher training began later than most.

HERE - If you want to know what happend to him. (minor SPOILER for books)

Jerome Moreau

Gonna give that old bastard a piece of my mind! - Jerome about his father

From Gwent In 1087, after saving professor Tomas Moreau, a witcher demanded that which the scholar already had, but did not know of. From this day forward, Jerome, son of Tomas, became one of the children bound by the Law of Surprise.

A few years later, the witcher came for young Jerome to take him to Kaer Seren, the home of the School of the Griffin. The boy was subjected to the usual physical training and mutations necessary to forge a witcher. Yet the process seemed mild to him as if he was particularly well suited for it.

As a result, he mostly resembled an ordinary man, leaving only his silver sword and Griffin medallion to prove the contrary. Strangers and friends alike treated him better than the average witcher, with many failing to realize the fact that a mutant stood before them.

Unfortunately, extraordinary resistance was to become Jerome's undoing. For professor Moreau did not forget about his lost son, keeping him under constant observation. His normalcy led to his father's belief that the mutations could still be reversed.

When his father, professor Moreau, lured him to Toussaint with a contract, he decided to put an end to this charade. Jerome confronted professor Moreau in 1121. After imprisoning the witcher using a paralyzing spell, he proceeded with mad and reckless experiments to free his son from the witcher's mutations. Utterly ignoring his son's contrary pleas for mercy. This process was not mild. Not at all. Brought to the brink of death on many occasions, he rose every time faster and stronger than before. And more... mutated. As a result of old Moreau's experiments and in spite of his determination, Jerome became less and less human. Until the eighth day of autumn in 1122, the professor finally gave up. He collected his notes and closed his laboratory. As for the remains of his failed subject... He just burnt them, unwilling to face what he had done ever again.

It is possible, that Jerome is still alive, because there was no body/skeleton in the cell.

Adela

In The Hexer, a polish movie. there is a school of witchers described as being "beyond the mountains", to which Adela attended. At the time, only the Cat, the Griffin, and the Wolf Schools existed in the franchise, and as she didn't attend the Cat nor the Wolf, it's possible she went to the Griffin School.

This is however only a speculation.
