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 .
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 .
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:
