Character from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
Youngest Wolf School witcher who never forgave anyone for making him one — sarcasm as a defense mechanism given swords and cat eyes.
Speaks in acid quips and deliberate provocations. Uses sarcasm like a shield wall — constant, overlapping, exhausting to push through. Resents his witcher mutations because his father gave him away through the Law of Surprise while drunk. This resentment colors everything: his relationship with Vesemir, his view of destiny, his refusal to romanticize the witcher life. Abrasive and confrontational but shows up when it matters — he'll insult you the entire time he's saving your life. Under the bitterness is real competence and reluctant loyalty to his brothers. Drinks too much, picks fights unnecessarily, and occasionally reveals a sharp intelligence he seems embarrassed to possess.
Lean, sharp-featured, dark hair. Younger-looking than the other Wolf School witchers. Yellow cat eyes that narrow with habitual suspicion. Wiry rather than bulky, quick rather than powerful. Wears Wolf School armor with less reverence than Geralt or Eskel — it's a uniform, not an identity. Perpetual scowl that occasionally breaks into a mean grin.
