the world of the white wolf wouldn’t be
half as rich without these characters
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
characters from The Witcher video game
series before we begin we publish new
videos every day so be sure to subscribe
for more great content for this list
we’re looking at characters likable or
not who enrich the story and the world
with the series although the games were
inspired by polish author Andres
sapkowski’s short stories and novels
will be sticking to the open-world RPGs
and their expansions Oh number 10 all
geared von erich ol GERD von everich I’m
looking for him the enigmatic von
everich nobleman and outlaw is a paradox
at once reckless hedonistic hilarous and
honorable a pivotal character in the
expansion hearts of stone he leads a
band of uncouth Roughnecks known as the
Wild Ones but he is set apart by his
code of honor and education which
includes a deep appreciation of the Arts
well sometimes heck even his hair is
better than everyone else’s but there is
more to von erich than a cool haircut
and noble blood a Faustian figure he has
made a dangerous pact in the name of
love unraveling this mysterious thread
of his tragic tale is central to this
expansion
well stroke which he weed
number nine Regis agreed to me the
vampire at a cemetery
how much more cliche can you get once
the vampire equivalent of an alcoholic
the dapper and articulate Regis has
since sworn off blood and reformed when
Geralt meets the rehabilitated
bloodsucker in the novel’s he’s
disguised as an ordinary gentleman
although the name of his mule dracool
should probably have given it away get
it
Drac cool Dracula anyway in his youth he
would over indulge on blood and flutter
haunt breaking the sacred vampire
principle don’t drink it fly in somewhat
better shape now as you can see how the
paint for mind you but where I hear man
folk would think me a demigod I dare say
I’m sorry what happened it was my fault
after being butchered by peasants he
were generated died and reappears in the
expansion blood and why proving you just
can’t keep a good vampire down regis who
would typically be a monster that Geralt
should kill instead becomes a powerful
ally and perhaps Gerald’s best friend in
blood and wine further budding the moral
ambiguity of this series but we’ve not
seen one another in ages my friend at
least in human terms that is number
eight leaf Oh
took you a while is that bobble from
Sheila’s mega scope mm-hmm
my final prank a Witcher from the school
of the Viper and the primary antagonist
of the second game of the series Letha
is more cunning and slippery than his
Bane riddled bulging biceps might
suggest seriously though did he overdose
on winter steroids Lee though is a
complex character doing the dirty work
of a much greater power but showing some
loyalty or at least respect to fellow
witcher geralt and the white wolfs main
squeeze yennefer
in the end all the dude wants is to
rebuild his witcher school in the south
what are a few dead kings compared to a
place that you can call home you uh
don’t have to answer that
[Music]
number six Dijkstra I was being serious
as am i when I say I have exactly no
time to worry about your gigolo a
boyfriend course cynical and ambitious
this former head of her Danian
intelligence turned underworld crime
boss plates a major role in wild hunt
where players first encounter him
surrounded by naked loungers in his
lavish bathhouse headquarters better get
ready for some gratuitous video game
nudity
although Geralt once broke his leg
Dijkstra regards the witcher with
respect and forges an uneasy and
conditional alliance beneath his
criminal activities are crouched much
larger plans for the state of Virginia
Dijkstra might be crass and ruthless but
in the world of The Witcher where
nothing is as it seems his bluntness is
often refreshing in the end he’s a man
of intelligence and patriotism and he
better not stand in his way I draw the
show than tell pictures worth a thousand
words in all that charm number six
Zoltan who are you I’m your pal
Zoltan Jimmy drinker gambler soldier of
fortune and Geralt staunch ally plus
he’s got a pretty nifty Mohawk to boot
Zoltan is the quintessential fantasy
dwarf character handy with an axe
gloriously bearded with an eye for
jewels and of course a Scottish brogue
because you know dwarves are always
Scottish right that’s written down
somewhere earnest and loyal optimistic
but pragmatic
Zoltan is the perfect sidekick they are
in a pinch when Geralt needs him even to
fight off the wild hunt in the books he
owns a potty-mouthed parrot named Field
Marshal windbag which is alas only
briefly mentioned in the games there
he’s getting into trouble or getting
Geralt out of it Zoltan is the companion
that every sword toting fantasy hero
needs Oh number 5 Triss Merigold
oh how they say kuvira’s lovely this
time of year but I prefer you sorceress
is seem to come in one type voluptuous
and really hot for Geralt but which
which is which heroic and altruistic
Tris is the kind hearted do-gooder of
the power-hungry sorceress is in the
series showing that not all witches are
big-headed
schemers with huge egos Thank You Carol
for this and for what you said at the
port as a potential love interest in all
three games Chris also act as a foil for
her friend and romantic rival yennefer
but more on her later Tris is not all
goody two-shoes though desperately in
love with Geralt during his amnesia she
forgets to mention his previous
relationship with her BFF adding a note
of moral ambiguity to her otherwise
pretty straightforward character so tell
me how Yin is doing how do you know I
found her you didn’t answer my question
before dandelion if our bodies could a
song compose my heart would inquire of
your hands and pale and fine foppish
dandy and talented bard dandelion is
Geralt companion on numerous adventures
the poet to his warrior the Casanova to
his noble knight the misadventures of
the encouraged abaut and narcissistic
troubadour had a note of humor to the
series while an older more somber
dandelion narrates the second and third
games through voiceovers and quest
descriptions providing the storyline
with continuity and gravitas sorceress
yennefer she diluted him for years but
now she just a few steps heavy in the
books dandelion is named Jesse ur polish
for buttercup and both names illustrate
his flowery and colorful nature he
certainly does have a way with words
cocky overconfident and extravagant that
the series just wouldn’t be complete
without this world-famous minstrel gave
me enough material for a volume of
balance and this one will sell like
hotcakes
nobody’s gonna read that drivel number 3
ciri I’ll walk you home
and explain to your parents that they
must not lose their children in the
woods
Gerald’s protege and adopted daughter
the lion cub of sintra is perhaps the
wild hunts most human and believable
character headstrong rebellious and
relatable ciri is both a princess and a
tomboy a beautiful badass and a fugitive
on the run the world’s end yeah but I
must go they’re here for me hey
sometimes playable character with the
ability to travel through time and space
she comes with a cool and distinctive
combat style involving teleportation
dashes and charges her relationship with
Garrels humanizes these sometimes gruff
and cantankerous witcher and introduces
a classic coming-of-age struggle with
destiny gotta stop the end of the world
and the apocalypse white froth sword a
story into the main questline blessed
with great magical power and an
inexhaustible stock of very dark eye
makeup ciri is the glue that makes the
Wild Hunt work
[Music]
number two Jennifer what was that it
can’t be all sweetness and light a
powerful sorceress and lover of all
things unicorn yennefer of vengerberg is
Garrett’s principle romantic interest in
sceptile ski stories and a major
character in the Wild Hunt although at
times disparaging arrogant and sarcastic
Neath her tough exterior lies an
inextinguishable flame for our grizzled
white-haired witcher and genuine concern
for ciri famous for her beauty as well
as her power she was actually born a
hunchback and suffered a traumatic
childhood but yennefer is far from a
damsel in distress instead she is a
deliberately polarizing character
provoking different responses from
different players and arriving in the
series during Wild Hunt with a bang
[Music]
before we unveil our top pick here a few
honorable mentions oh one two three one
two three hey Vernon Roach to marry his
last hope
lawful you want to marry a will rise
again vesemir told me about that job you
did for those nilfgaardian Zinn Velan
what what are you doing
killing monsters number one Geralt
there’s an enormous difference between
us but it’s not about status it’s about
me having two swords on my back and you
having none well what would the witcher
be without the witcher a monster hunter
for hire purged of emotions and sworn to
political neutrality Geralt has hidden
depth to him that makes him interesting
although he sometimes has the emotional
range of a tree
it’s the cracks in the facade of
indifference that makes him so
compelling he cares for ciri like a
father and is deeply in love with you an
affair or tryst depending on your
choices and he once died defending
nonhumans during a pilot pogrom yeah he
uh he got better abracadabra hocus pocus
a knight in shining armor an erstwhile
poet and occasional joker Geralt is a
fixed character that surprisingly works
very well in a charm that typically
permits more customization than the
player’s haircut and beard gratings most
will cannot do got a razor and shears
good make me look decent do you agree
