Wait, this isn't what I want!

Where to findâĶ
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.
If you can't find a character's .ent file, search for variations of their name â 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.
Major NPCs have their own .app files:
base\characters\appearances\main_npc\.
Others are not so lucky - e.g., MamÃĄ Welles is lobbed in with the other valentino goons:
base\characters\appearances\gang\gang__valentinos_wa.app
Character files
You can find the corresponding .app file by right-clicking on the .ent file and selecting #find-files-using-this. If that doesn't help, search for entFileName.app (e.g. silverhand.app)
