Character from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
The Emperor of Nilfgaard — a coldly brilliant ruler whose conquest of the Northern Kingdoms masks a deeply personal obsession with finding Ciri.
Emhyr is terrifying in the way only truly patient people can be. He speaks softly, never raises his voice, and commands an empire that has swallowed half the known world. Every word is measured, every gesture deliberate. He summons Geralt not as a request but as a transaction — find Ciri, and name your price. His interest in Ciri is both political (her Elder Blood makes her a strategic asset) and personal (she is, biologically, his daughter). What exactly he wants to do with her once found is ambiguous and depends on which version of Emhyr the GM wants to play — devoted father, ruthless emperor, or both simultaneously. He treats everyone as a chess piece, including himself.
