The next game in The Witcher series is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated RPGs when CD Projekt Red reveals more details about it. Geralt’s trilogy ended on a high note, allowing players to interact with memorable characters from the books.
Some interesting figures have yet to make their virtual debut. Fans will love the idea of seeing these familiar faces in a new Witcher game, which would serve as a treat for book readers, while video game-exclusive fans will get a kick out of learning their relevance to the series.
8Stregobor
A Heartless Mage Who Tried To Manipulate Geralt
Book Debut:The Last Wish
The Last Wish delivers a collection of short stories that serve as a soft introduction to the world of The Witcher. One of these tales focuses on Geralt’s massacre in the town of Blaviken, which earned him an infamous nickname.
These events are kickstarted by Stregobor, who wants to analyze the curse on a person named Renfri and hides his true intentions from Geralt. He goes so far as to be dismissive about their attempts to destroy the entire town just so that Geralt could be baited into killing her for him. Suffice it to say, Geralt disapproves of this and forbids him from analyzing this body before bidding farewell to this wily sorcerer for good.
7Villentretenmerth, AKA Borch Three Jackdaws
A Golden Dragon Who Prefers His Human Form
Book Debut:Sword of Destiny
A golden dragon who enjoys his human form more than his draconian one, Villentretenmerth is an intriguing character introduced in a story where Geralt joins a hunting party just to spend more time with Yennefer. The raven-haired sorceress seeks out the dragon for her own goals but fails to find success.
Despite the amazing powers of this dragon, he is unable to reverse Yennefer’s infertility. It’s a shame that this epic character hasn’t played a bigger role in the series, but this can be changed with a video game debut in the new Witcher game.
6Nenneke
Head Priestess Of The Temple Of Melitele In Ellander
Book Debut:The Last Wish
Priestess Nenneke is a wise soul who helps Geralt recuperate numerous times when he’s injured and in dire need of medicine. She forms a bond with him, to the point where the White Wolf is comfortable enough to leave Ciri under her watchful gaze.
There are times when Nenneke can be quite cold and strict, but it’s clear for everyone to see that she’s one of the most tender and caring characters in The Witcher. Fans will love it if she makes her much-awaited video game debut in The Witcher video games.
5Niedamir
Ruler Of Caingorn
Book Debut:Sword of Destiny
Seeing royalty in The Witcher is a blast every time, which is why King Niedamir in a Witcher video game would be great. He is one of the participants in the hunt for the golden dragon Villentretenmerth, trying to seek glory at all costs.
His appearances have been sporadic ever since, but it’s made clear that he’s a decent king who was able to win his fair share of wars. This character can be fleshed out in the games to make his legacy more prominent in The Witcher.
4Istredd
A Powerful Sorcerer Who Shares A History With Yennefer
Book Debut:Sword of Destiny
One of the most powerful sorcerers around, Istredd deserves more than his fleeting appearances in the books. Apart from his romantic relationship with Yennefer, there’s not a lot to say about this sorcerer.
His power has been glorified in the few excerpts that describe this character, and fans will love the idea of him appearing in the games. Even if the main characters of the series like Geralt and Yennefer may not make an appearance, it’ll still be great to interact with Istredd and hear about his relations with one of the most epic sorceresses in the series.
3Tissaia de Vries
A Teacher At Aretuza Who Shaped The Futures Of Numerous Powerful Sorceresses
Book Debut:Blood of Elves
Being a powerful sorcerer who can teach others to harness their powers is no joke and makes it clear why Tissaia de Vries is such an important character in the series. This makes it hard to digest that she never appeared in the games.
However, CD Projekt Red can always bring her back for players to interact with one of the most important characters in the series. She can serve as a way for players to catch a glimpse of the past before deciding the future of The Witcher series.
2Francesca Findabair
A Powerful Mage And The Queen Of The Elves Of Dol Blathana
Book Debut:Time of Contempt
A powerful sorceress who jumped at the opportunity to help elves reach great heights once again, Francesca Findabair is one of the most important mages in the series. She’s one of the founding members of the Lodge of Sorceresses too, adding to her allure as a character.
It’s hard to believe that this character has never made an appearance in the series, but this can always change in later entries. Players will love the idea of interacting with such an important sorceress and elven queen whose power knows no bounds.
1Eithne
The Queen Of The Dryads And Ruler Of Brokilon
Book Debut:Sword of Destiny
The Dryad Queen who rules Brokilon is one of the most imposing characters in the series. She allows Ciri to enter the heart of her kingdom but refuses to let her leave, only for Geralt to make a convincing case and help his future ward come home to his grandmother.
She’s a mysterious figure and can make the world of a new Witcher game feel all the more unique. Interacting with humans and non-humans is par for the course, but a dryad could make this adventure more exotic in the eyes of many.
