## Where to find…

CDPR's system of character classification is completely arbitrary and often contains redundancies. If you are looking for a character's files, you're generally much better-off to just [search for it in Wolvenkit](https://app.gitbook.com/s/-MP_ozZVx2gRZUPXkd4r/wolvenkit-app/usage/wolvenkit-search-finding-files).

If you can't find a character's .ent file, search for variations of their name — e.g. Johnny is `silverhand`, Viktor is `ripperdoc`. Sometimes, it is easier to find the .app file first, and then get the .ent file by using [Find files using this](https://app.gitbook.com/s/-MP_ozZVx2gRZUPXkd4r/wolvenkit-app/editor/asset-browser#find-files-using-this).

{% hint style="info" %}
Major NPCs have their own .app files:\
`base\characters\appearances\main_npc\`.

Others are not so lucky - e.g., Mamá Welles is lobbed in with the other valentino goons:\
`base\characters\appearances\gang\gang__valentinos_wa.app`
{% endhint %}

## Character files

You can find the corresponding .app file by right-clicking on the .ent file and selecting [Asset Browser #Find files using this](https://app.gitbook.com/s/-MP_ozZVx2gRZUPXkd4r/wolvenkit-app/editor/asset-browser#find-files-using-this "mention"). If that doesn't help, search for entFileName.app (e.g. `silverhand.app`)
