The motives of the elf Avallac \ 'huh? (spoilers) (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)
Avallak'ha during the passage seemed to me an extremely strange character. His actions with the lamp on the grave of Lara Dorren are not clear. His careful study of the origins. His motivation is not clear. Perhaps he wanted to stop the white cold, but it seemed to me alone that this was not his main goal and maybe we will meet him in the Witcher 4?In general, he was essentially Ciri's pimp in the books, so I was really surprised when he jumped out of Uma's body. Apparently, he nevertheless decided, if not to get the gene of the elder blood for his people, then at least keep it.

Why does he need a gene? If, in fact, he could simply not interfere with Eredin, but also poison him with a stalemate, for example

The curse is perhaps greatly exaggerated rather than everyone needs it
Books, books should be read. Avallac'h experimented with the elder blood gene long before human sorcerers. The result of these experiments among the elves was Lara Dorren, whom Avallac'h loved. Ciri is a copy of Lara Dorren, and Gen is very strong in her. In the books, Avallac'h brought her into the world of Aen Elle to complete the experiment. In the game, he is somewhat softened. Although Geralt still warns Ciri that Avallac'h may ask for a return favor at one point. So most likely, in the end, he needs from Ciri the same as the rest - her child.

Avallac'h was loyal to the former king of the Alder people, it is obvious that he turned against his own only because he did not like Eredin.

Ambiguous. Firstly, if we take into account that everything is tied to the child and the prophecy, then Avallac'h could get a child ala Velgeorts from the book series. If everything is tied to the ability to open the gates between the worlds, then he could simply not interfere with Eredin, but also poison him with a stalemate, for example. Plus we add that he loved Lara unrequitedly and the motivation is unknown

The whole point is in the blood - like wine, it dangles through the veins and makes warm-)
There are three most beautiful sights in the world. A ship under full sails, a galloping horse and this, well ... naked woman in bed (Andrzej Sapkowski: Season of Thunderstorms)

Avallac'h is not Vilgefortz.
SpoilerAvallak'h only matched elves with the genes he needed. That is why he wanted Ciri to have a child with the King of Alders. There are hints of Avallak'h's feelings for Lara both in the books and in the game. So he just couldn't give Ciri to Eredin. Plus Avallac'h in the game explained why he does not help Eredin, although he also wants to save his people. It is unlikely that Ciri completely got rid of the White Cold, rather she only delayed its advance, and now it will come naturally, as Nimue spoke about in the Lady of the Lake, and will not come from another world. So Avallac'h has time to find a replacement for the Alder King.

Emm, Norm everything is clear, but it would not hurt to close it with a spoiler, well, there are a lot of eunuks)
First reason: He wants to "bring out" a very strong magician who could control space and time (like Cyril), for this he studies the Elder Blood gene. His past experiments have met with relative success - he "brought out" Caranthir.
Another reason is that he is really going to help Ciri to defeat the White Cold, since the world of Aen Elle is next in line to be destroyed by this very White Cold. Something like this..
Above, the people explained everything very clearly. As for me, this two-time scoundrel should have been hacked to death on Undvik. Do not expect noble motives from the elf. And his final disappearance confused me. Either the developers leaked him like that, or he ran away to sob at the grave of Lara Dorren, and think about new tactics. He couldn't leave his plans for Ciri like that.
