He can be kind-hearted and caring to the people he loves. He is also very protective of and loyal to his friends and companions, and is willing to go to great lengths for those who matter to him. Geralt is shown in the books and games to have many good friends all over the Northern Realms, such as Caldemeyn of Blaviken, Zoltan Chivay, and of course Dandelion.

Despite his outwardly cold nature, Dandelion notes that behind his exterior hides a fiercely loyal friend, and a man of good humour and as someone not indifferent to suffering. Most of the time, he can be apathetic, cynical, and threatening. Eventually, Geralt took the girl as his protégé, following the death of her grandmother, Queen Calanthe. However, fate caused Geralt and the girl, Cirilla, to cross paths three times. The child was born a girl, and Geralt refused her. Thus, he became a monster slayer for hire.Īt one point, Geralt demanded the unborn child of Princess Pavetta and her husband Duny as a reward for his services. After finishing his witcher training, Geralt embarked into the world on a horse named Roach, a name he would bestow upon every one of his later horses. He is the only witcher to have survived these experiments, his stark white hair being a side effect of these additional mutations. Geralt's intensive training, and the mutagenic experimentation carried out upon him, have granted him considerably greater strength, speed, endurance, resilience, healing, senses, complete immunity to diseases and conventional poisons, and an extreme resistance to pain.ĭue to his brilliant success in training, Geralt was selected for additional mutation experiments. He survived the many blistering mutations required to grant witchers their abilities and passed the Trial of the Grasses. There, Geralt was trained and made to be a witcher. He took Geralt across the sea to the Northern Realms: to Kaer Morhen, to patch him up, and after he had healed, to train and become a master Witcher himself. Vesemir, a very young and honorable man, found Geralt, a recent runaway, mauled by wolves. Before his death, he had sent word to his friend Vesemir, who was a master Witcher. Lord Edwyle died shortly after of illness. She was hanged, and her a hefty bounty was placed upon her newborn son's head - death. Unfortunately, during Geralt's late teen years, Vaermina was caught with her lie, and, due to breaking her marriage with Lord Hycils Lannister, was subsequently sentenced to death. Vaermina Targaryen, his mother, gave birth to young Geralt in a castle tower near Winterfell, and wanted to raise the child as her own, with Edwyle's fatherly support. Geralt was born near Winterfell as his mother was having an intimate and unconsummated affair with his father, Edwyle Stark.
