Geralt of Rivia’s stories, which take place in the fairly recent past, all lead up to his meeting with Ciri.

Clearly the most important character in the entire series, Jaskier (Joey Batey) is not to be forgotten; he is the light of the series, the comic relief, and arguably the only human being that can make puffed sleeves, tight pants, and a 2000-era boyband hairdo look so good while also being attacked by djinn. A loyal friend to Geralt, whether the wit...
