Geralt

Geralt of Rivia is a witcher and central protagonist of The Witcher. Mutated and trained from childhood, he travels as a professional monster hunter while becoming involved in political conflicts and ancient prophecy.

Geralt of Rivia as a witcher

Dry, observant, and outwardly neutral, Geralt repeatedly makes moral choices despite claiming that witchers should avoid politics. His strongest motivation becomes protecting the people he considers family.

Monster hunting, Ciri, and adaptation differences

Geralt uses swordsmanship, alchemy, enhanced senses, potions, and simple magical Signs. His relationships with Yennefer, Ciri, Dandelion, and other allies define his life, while books, games, and television adaptations contain related but distinct continuities.
