Like other witchers, he’s also trained in alchemy, brewing concoctions that can enhance his own senses or be used as destructive bombs. Vesemir has the ability to use magical signs in order to do things such as knock back foes or create fire. The trial also renders the survivors sterile. He underwent the Trial of the Grasses, which mutated him to give him the same golden eyes that Geralt would also acquire, and imbue him with superhuman strength, agility, and toughness while significantly slowing his aging process. Like all witchers of the Wolf School, Vesemir received intense instruction in combat and survival at Kaer Morhen. When the witcher stronghold Kaer Morhen was destroyed and most of the senior witchers were killed, Vesemir took it upon himself to protect and train the last of his kind. Vesemir grew up as a servant to a noble household, but ran away to seek his fortune as a monster hunter after helping the witcher Deglan exorcise a monster that was possessing his mistress.Īfter going through the brutal trials and training required to become a witcher, Vesemir spent decades enjoying his profession. While he may seem to share Geralt’s cynicism much of the time, he’s actually soft-hearted with a good head on his shoulders, which is the real reason I like him.Vesemir is the oldest and most experienced surviving witcher in the Netflix series and Geralt of Rivia’s surrogate father. He’s fond of drinking and making jokes, making him one of the most entertaining guys to have around. Tough and sarcastic, he’s a dwarf with a mohawk and one of Geralt’s closest friends. Zoltan is a familiar character in The Witcher series, and it’s great to have him back. If you haven’t seen her yet, definitely listen to her performance of “ The Wolven Storm.” Zoltan Chivay It’s no wonder Dandelion, who is normally a womanizer, is so into her he feels like he’s met his match. One quest has her writing a play for Geralt to perform in, which she gets a little excited and stubborn about. (Three of the other main women in the game - the ones Geralt can pursue some sort of relationships with - are all witches.) She’s a confident, talented performer, and I love that she can get nerdy about what she likes. Priscilla is a bard in The Witcher 3, which is a nice change of pace from the usual parade of sorceresses that we see. I also love that she’s built a portal to an idyllic little garden with deer, bunnies, flowers, and a bath as her retreat from the dull stress of life as a small-town witch - and how she seems to enjoy making fun of everything and everyone. Witty, flirtatious, well-versed in making aphrodisiacs, a little bored by rural life, scared of rats… There are all kinds of little facts to learn about this woman. To me, she’s one of the most multi-faceted and fascinating characters in the game. Once an advisor to King Foltest of Temeria and a member of the Lodge of Sorceresses, Keira Metz is now now the local witch in a small town. For now, here are a few of the characters I find most interesting so far. This will be a multi-post affair, because The Witcher 3 is filled with characters and I have a lot left to play. I’m thinking of a certain “bloody” leader who - even as you despise him for some of the terrible things he’s done to his family - expresses regret in a realistic, sympathetic way. Geralt isn’t always a heroic guy on the flip side, characters you might think of as villainous are not quite villains. What I really enjoy is the ambiguity of the characters. Sure, the lead Geralt is badass enough to carry the games (and books), but he’s also surrounded by friends and enemies who you love or love to hate. One of the best things about The Witcher series is the strength of its characters.
