Given the experience of decades on the "bolshak" (road), Geralt is accustomed to never lose his temper, and in any situation he is restrained and reasonable and acts according to his personal principle/credo. "Gwynbleidd" is the type of character that is extremely rare, that in books, that in games, that in movies.įor all who are familiar with the story of the Witcher (read the book, played in the same game), I remember how much they had to make difficult decisions, how many errors they have made, how many lives ruined and many lives saved.Īndrzej Sapkowski (author of books about the adventures of the white-haired Witcher) describes to us his main character as a tall man, with a slender build and with gray hair like milk, as well as with "cat eyes with a vertical pupil", which together became a kind of "chip" Geralt or his distinctive feature.īut for other characters of the saga Geralt appears in a different guise, or to be more precise, for them he looks different.įor example, Yennefer calls him peculiarly handsome, and Triss, behind all this witchy bravado, sees a haggard, emaciated and wrinkled face and eyes as all-seeing, sick and seeing too much.īut for most his face is unpleasant, and a significant role in this is played by the character of Geralt.
To Geralt of Rivia can be treated in different ways, someone fears and despises him (and not without reason), someone admires them and imitates him, again with good reason. This list can be continued for a very long time, since Geralt's appearance and character are a kind of collaboration of the incongruous, which for a surprising reason were able to find a balance. He's not young, but he's not old, he's not hood, but it is not full, he's not handsome, but he's not a freak, he's not good and not evil, he is not a man, but he is not a monster… So let's take a closer look at the Witcher and remember some of the highlights of the story of "Butcher of Blaviken". Geralt is a character who has been loved by hundreds of millions of people from all over the World, and this love and undying interest in the universe created by pan Sapkowski is absolutely deserved. He spent his whole life fighting, fighting forever against evil spirits and against wicked/evil/cruel and insidious people. "The white-haired Witcher" combines many character traits that make him an extraordinary character with outstanding charisma and inner strength.
Yes, that's right, this article is devoted to the main character and protagonist of the books and the game universe " The Witcher" - Geralt of Rivia. He has many nicknames, for example, he is known to many as "Butcher of Blaviken", for which he is also despised and feared by many, we know him as "Gwynbleidd", and of course we have often heard him called "White Wolf".
