Arnjoff the Patricide was a Skelligan warrior during the Second Northern War. He sailed with Lippy Gudmund to the Northern Kingdoms, making his own way down the Yaruga and into Angren.
Arnjoff joined Meve's party during a skirmish with the Nilfgaardians in Angren. He sought a worthy death as recompense for his sins. His father was an alcoholic who repeatedly beat him, his mother and his brother.
Unfortunately, one day his father was exceptionally drunk, and took it too far. He beat the life out of his brother, causing Arnjoff to murder him in retaliation. Vilified by his village, Arnjoff set off in search of a worthy death to erase his shame.
He carved a bullseye marking into his forehead to help enemy archers find their mark. Alas, by the time they saw his carving, it was far too late for them. (Source: Witcher Wikia)
Arnjolf appears in the game as an avatar in a battle. He actually occupies little screen space and thus his budget is only about 8K polygons. We compensate for this fact with PBR materials and carefully distributed shapes. How do you like him?
