There are some of the most brilliantly designed characters in the world of The Witcher. From the fearless monster hunters to the immensely powerful sorceresses, the fantastic universe of the Continent is filled with interesting characters with epic tales.

One of them is, of course, Geralt of Rivia‘s mentor Vesemir. He is the oldest monster hunter at the castle of Kaer Morhen.
