Geralt making plans with Vernon's Blue Stripes
The Blue Stripes are an elite Special Forces unit in the Temerian military. It is headed by Vernon Roche, a former peasant that rose through the ranks to become one of King Foltest's most trusted military leaders. His second-in-command is Ves, a highly trained archer and arbalist.
The unit consists of dauntless swashbucklers, interrogation specialists, noiseless scouts – all of them extremely loyal to their leader.
So far the Blue Stripes unit has suffered only one failure – they haven't managed to capture the infamous bandit Iorveth.
