Geralt pursues the mysterious Salamandra, and in the process meets many people from his past, as well as new acquaintances who either require the witcher's help, or offer their own in his quest to regain his identity. There, he is drawn into a complicated conspiracy concerning the witchers, their secrets and the nefarious forces who are after that knowledge. He is rescued by the last remaining witchers in the world and taken back to Kaer Morhen. In the English version of the game, Geralt is voiced by Doug Cockle and by Jacek Rozenek in the Polish version.Īfter seemingly having been killed by a mob during a pogrom of non-humans at the end of the Witcher saga, Geralt returns to life with no recollection of the details of his sudden reappearance or the intervening five years. His best friend was Dandelion the bard, while his lover and the love of his life was Yennefer. However, fate or blind chance caused Geralt and Ciri, the daughter of Duny and Pavetta to cross paths thrice, and after the death of her grandmother, queen Calanthe, Geralt ended up taking care of the girl and loving her as his own daughter. As the child turned out to be a girl, he did not take her. After finishing the witcher training, he embarked into the world on his horse called Roach (he gave the same name to every one of his horses) to become a monster slayer for hire.Īlthough Geralt did not believe in destiny, he demanded the unborn child of princess Pavetta and her husband Duny as a reward for his services. His white hair, completely lacking pigment, is a side effect of these experiments. Because of that, as one of the few he was selected for additional experiments, and of the few he was the only one that survived.

Geralt survived numerous mutations during the Trial of the Grasses, through which he gained practically superhuman physical and mental abilities (increased reflexes, speed, strength and enhanced hearing) surprisingly well. Shortly after being born, Geralt was taken by his mother to the Wolf School - the Kaer Morhen stronghold (from Elder Speech Caer a'Muirehen meaning "Fortress of the Old Sea"). Geralt was the son of sorceress Visenna and (presumably) a warrior called Korin. Geralt in the comic book, drawn by Bogusław Polch The following is taken from the original comics, not the Sapkowski saga Then he proceeded to be knighted the third time when he received the Aerondight. Or, jokingly, he was knighted the second time as Sir Bonehead and later cancelled. In the events of The Witcher, he was knighted a second time by Lady of the Lake and received the Aerondight as the badge of office. He, therefore, became a true knight of Lyria. Later, Queen Meve of Lyria knighted him for his valour in the Battle for the Bridge on the Yaruga conferring on him the formal title "of Rivia", which amused him. "Of Rivia" was a more practical alternative, and Geralt even went so far as to adopt a Rivian accent to appear more authentic. As his first choice, Geralt chose "Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarde", but this choice was dismissed by Vesemir as silly and pretentious, so "Geralt" was all that remained of his chosen name. In the interest of appearing more trustworthy to potential clients, young witchers were encouraged to make up surnames for themselves by master Vesemir. After being left with the witchers by his mother, Visenna, he grew up in their keep of Kaer Morhen in the realm of Kaedwen. Geralt is known also as Gwynbleidd ( Elder Speech meaning "The White Wolf", a name which was given to him by the dryads), as well as the Butcher of Blaviken, after an unfortunate incident in that city.ĭespite his title, Geralt does not hail from the city of Rivia. By the events of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (in 1272), Geralt is "nearly a century old" according to mentor Vesemir. As an itinerant monster hunter for hire, he possesses nearly superhuman abilities and expert swordsmanship skills.
