You could kill him in W1 but there was nothing for it -.-. I even went through the trouble to kill him in Chapter 4 and he escaped.. then at the end of the game I killed him. Turns out he didn't die at all because we see him in W3 xD.
Edit: So yes, it would be nice if we could own him for real this time.

... I cannot appropriately answer that question without major book spoilers. HUGE SPOILERS FROM BOOKS THAT WILL ALSO BE SPOILERS FOR GAME FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ "THE LADY OF THE LAKE"
SERIOUSLY GUYS (AND GALS) - SPOILERS
In short - I would think you could kill him. If you can kill him, then I guess you could loot him too.

Dude is actually a powerful elf from another dimension named Eredin Bréacc Glas.

It's not really a spoiler, W2 explains a lot about the Wild Hunt, especially Iorveth's path.
It's a major point of information that will be unknown to those who are new to the series (I assume some people who come here haven't read or played). I'm extra cautious about spoilers these days ever since I put of a link a couple months ago without a warning. Better safe than sorry.
Speaking about the Hunt. I hope that this time it will be explained what excatly happened between the last witcher 2 flashback and the beginning of witcher 1.
we know that Geralt offered himself to the King of the Hunt in exchange for Yennefer and then became a rider of the Hunt. I hope we learn what he did as a rider and how he managed to escape.
I thought the explanations about the assassin, who tried to kill Foltest at the end of Witcher 1 were a bit unsatisfying in Witcher 2. Hopefully they do it better this time

Can't deny it. Everyone knows.
Anyway you "kill" the ghost not the King himself in W1... so nothing strange.
Given who he is..he should be killable (read the books to find out more).

They don't look like specters to me, nothing 'ghastly' about them. They don't shimmer or nothing like that, like in the first game, they don't ride through the sky like they do in the books.
Also, from TW2 we know

that they can appear in physical form once a year. I assume that in TW3 they have found a more permanent way of staying in this way in 'this' world.
It'd be nice in my headcanon if Ciri could kill him, because character development and logical next step in the arc and so forth.
But given the structure of the games, I'd say you (Geralt) might even have a choice.

I liked the theory by Shoddycast in their Witcher Lore series.
The theory is.. They come for human slaves each year, but this time they are trapped in this Universe and need Ciri in order to return to their Universe. Which would mean they are in physical form and maybe killable.
In TW2 Geralt said... or was it Letho?!
The Wild Hunt riders come in person for special missions, nabbing Ciri and her elder blood is special in my book.
Book and W2 spoiler:
Yes, Geralt says that. And that it is, nabbing Geralt and Yennefer was presumably to lure out Ciri, so Ciri is a special special case! 
I just watched the last flashback again. Where Geralt trades places with Yennefer. It happens on Midinvaerne - The night of magic. I assumed that that means the riders can only appear physically on that day, because it's a"magical" day, and therefore they are able to cross between the worlds..? They never appear as anything other than specters outside their own world while chasing Ciri in the books, if I remember correctly.
