The Witchers of Kaer Morhen

Geralt of Rivia

Known to the elves as Gwynbleidd, and to those seeking his services as the White Wolf, Geralt is a member of the Wolf School. He is no mere swinger of swords, but thoughtful, cunning, resourceful, and an exceptional warrior. Beneath a rather stoic exterior are murmurings of good humor, a readiness to help out those in distress, an offering of goodwill and a mastery of both his blades to help those requesting his aid.

Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon

Heiress to several thrones, the bearer of Elder Blood, and a powerful source endowed with exceptional magical talent, Ciri is also known as the Lady of Time and Space. She seems to be living up to this name, as she has disappeared during this time of torment, forcing Geralt (who was bound to Ciri by destiny, and helped train her after she escaped a massacre in Cintra as tragedy and war deprived her of her real family) to search the lands of the Northern Realms for her—the “ashen-haired one”.

Vesemir

The oldest surviving member of the Wolf School of witchers, Vesemir’s bones may creak louder than the battlement floors of Kaer Morhen, but he shows no signs of hanging up his swords, especially since he can better any man in combat, with a combination of his blades and magical prowess. Though harsh and demanding of his students, he has become something of a mentor in these later years. His respect is now earned, not demanded.

Eskel

Although he doesn’t command the renown of his brethren, Eskel is a methodical, competent, and supremely talented witcher that met the White Wolf when they were boys, thrusting their wooden practice swords at Kaer Morhen. Eskel walks the Witcher’s Path separately from Geralt, but returns to winter at Kaer Morhen, and drinks to past successes and fallen friends.

Lambert

Among the very last to train within the walls of Kaer Morhen, Lambert is the youngest of the remaining Wolf School witchers. He has a reputation for slaying the most ferocious and ravenous beasts of the Continent, but also a bluntness, arrogance, and sardonic wit that many find offputting. Despite these shortcomings, he remains loyal to his companions.
