Emhyr var Emreis

Character from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski

Emperor of Nilfgaard who conquered half a continent with patience — a man who treats his own daughter as a chess piece because the alternative is feeling something.

Also known as: The White Flame Dancing on the Barrows of His Enemies, Duny, The Urcheon of Erlenwald, Emperor of Nilfgaard

What They Know

• Conquered Cintra, Temeria, Aedirn, and controls most of the southern Continent — his military ambition has no visible ceiling
• Was cursed into hedgehog form and lived as 'Duny' — won Ciri's mother Pavetta through the Law of Surprise
• Ciri is his biological daughter — he wants her for Elder Blood prophecy, political legitimacy, or both
• Staged his own death and returned to claim Nilfgaard's throne through a coup — nothing about his biography is accidental
• His intelligence network spans the Continent — he likely knows more about Geralt's movements than Geralt does
• Bound Geralt through the Law of Surprise to Ciri — the destiny he set in motion now operates beyond his control
