The Witcher 2

Also known as Saskia

Saskia the Dragonslayer, the Virgin of Aedirn is a leader of the revolt in Aedirn, opposing King Henselt's attempt at invasion and a rival of Prince Stennis, heir to Demavend.

In Chapter II you find out this dragon is actually Saskia, the Virgin of Aedirn, as she changes her shape in order to protect Geralt from certain death at the hands of Dethmold. She reveals she is actually daughter of the golden dragon Villentretenmerth also known as Bork Three Jackdaws. Her motivation to unite all the people of Aedirn is explained and it is also stated she's been long preparing the revolt with Iorveth who also invented the Dragonslayer story. Only too late does Geralt find out that as Philippa Eilhart was curing Saskia from poison she also gained control over her using a Rose of remembrance. Philippa means to use her as her safety guard during the deliberations in Loc Muinne and Geralt and Iorveth pursue them there.

If Geralt takes Iorveth's path, Saskia is poisoned with Thaumador or "magepain" during a meeting of the War Council and the witcher must help find ingredients for an antidote.

Once Geralt discovered the whole truth about Saskia, all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Saskia, a high-bred dragon, could assume any form she desired – even that of a human.
