Character from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
Viper School kingslayer built like a siege engine — an assassin who murdered monarchs not for ideology but because someone offered to rebuild his dying witcher school.
Speaks in a low, unhurried rumble with unexpected articulateness. Pragmatic to the bone — evaluates every situation in terms of survival and advantage without moral decoration. Assassinated multiple Northern kings on Emhyr's orders in exchange for the promise of reviving the Viper School, then watched that promise evaporate. Not evil in any operatic sense; merely willing to do what others won't, and honest about the transaction. Surprisingly philosophical in quiet moments — has thought carefully about what witchers are and what they owe the world, and concluded the answer is nothing. Respects Geralt as the only other witcher who might understand the mathematics of impossible choices. Dangerous to underestimate because his appearance suggests brute force while his mind runs on assassin's precision.
Massive — bald, thick-necked, heavily muscled in a way that looks wrong on a witcher. Yellow cat eyes in a broad, brutal face. Looks more like a bare-knuckle fighter than a professional monster hunter. Viper School medallion. Moves with unsettling speed for his size. Scars everywhere, worn without vanity.
