#THE WITCHER VESEMIR SERIES#
Set decades before the live-action series starring Henry Cavill as legendary witcher Geralt of Rivia, Nightmare of the Wolf will follow Geralt’s mentor Vesemir as a younger man, doing the things that Witchers are known to do-bathing, romancing, and slaughtering monsters. Vesemir has had other adventures referenced in the Witcher games that could potentially provide material for a follow-up film.If there’s one thing that is safe to predict about The Witcher’s fandom, it’s that these folks are thirsty for some Witchers and their bathtub scenes, and on both counts it looks like upcoming Netflix anime film The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf will be delivering in full. It also shows his compassion for elves, who are treated with contempt or outright exterminated by most humans. Netflix’s animated film The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf significantly fleshed out Vesemir’s backstory, depicting his childhood romance and dreams, his cocky youth as a master monster hunter, and his role in the destruction of Kaer Morhen. While Vesemir spends most of the game back at Kaer Morhen and away from the action, he plays a significant role in The Witcher 3’s climax. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt also opens with Geralt and Vesemir together as they attempt to find the sorceress Yennefer. He’s one of the first characters that Geralt encounters in The Witcher, serving as a quest giver and guide to navigating Kaer Morhen. Vesemir (voiced by) is a key character in CD Projekt Red’s video games.

#THE WITCHER VESEMIR TRIAL#
Because the secret to the Trial of the Grasses was lost at the massacre at Kaer Morhen, Vesemir believes they will be the last students he’ll ever train. Most of the Wolf School witchers treat Vesemir like their father and he does his best to protect them.

He also shows compassion, telling his child recruits tales to help them fall asleep and ignore the pain of a tough day of training. Vesemir is tough on all of his students, but he believes that approach helps give them the strength and determination needed to survive their very dangerous profession. Geralt refers to Vesemir as his father and the old witcher helps train Geralt’s own surrogate daughter, the child surprise Ciri, at Kaer Morhen. He was mentioned before then by Geralt in the short story collections The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. Vesemir first appeared in Sapkowski’s Witcher novel Blood of Elves, which serves as the source for most of the plot in The Witcher Season 2. He also carries a Wolf School medallion, which allows him to sense magic that’s being used nearby. As a veteran witcher, he has extensive knowledge of the abilities and weaknesses of monsters. He’s a particularly skilled swordsman and taught fencing to the new recruits at Kaer Morhen when he wasn’t sneaking off to drink and flirt at nearby taverns. Like other witchers, he’s also trained in alchemy, brewing concoctions that can enhance his own senses or be used as destructive bombs. Vesemir has the ability to use magical signs in order to do things such as knock back foes or create fire. The trial also renders the survivors sterile. He underwent the Trial of the Grasses, which mutated him to give him the same golden eyes that Geralt would also acquire, and imbue him with superhuman strength, agility, and toughness while significantly slowing his aging process. Like all witchers of the Wolf School, Vesemir received intense instruction in combat and survival at Kaer Morhen. When the witcher stronghold Kaer Morhen was destroyed and most of the senior witchers were killed, Vesemir took it upon himself to protect and train the last of his kind. Vesemir grew up as a servant to a noble household, but ran away to seek his fortune as a monster hunter after helping the witcher Deglan exorcise a monster that was possessing his mistress.Īfter going through the brutal trials and training required to become a witcher, Vesemir spent decades enjoying his profession.


Vesemir is the oldest and most experienced surviving witcher in the Netflix series and Geralt of Rivia’s surrogate father.
