History Characters / TheWitcherOtherCharacters

* BirdsOfAFeather: The group had already banded together in three separate groups of two before they all stumbled upon each other one night during the holiday of Lammas. The narration describes how all of them had been beings "created by the time of contempt" and that was what drew them together. They later accept Ciri among their ranks, rightfully suspecting that she's been through similar trauma.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: The Rats are highwaymen who rob and kill because they enjoy it. However, everyone in the group has a traumatic past, they truly do love and care about each other, they took in Ciri when she was alone, and they even give away some of their loot to poor villagers, albeit for good publicity rather than out of altruism. As a whole, the Rats are saints compared to [[PsychoForHire Leo Bonhart]], the bounty hunter pursuing them, and their collective death at his hands is portrayed with some sympathy.

* MoralMyopia: The Rats view themselves as [[LovableRogue Loveable Rogues]] with a ScoundrelCode and therefore different from all the other murderous gangs terrorizing the local populace when they aren't. When Hotspurn warns them they've made a powerful enemy after robbing a nobleman's daughter, The Rats ignore the mental trauma they put her through and see this as NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished because they didn't rape her.

* SoleSurvivor: Mistle was the only female from her group that survived being raped and then left in a ditch by bandits.

* KillEmAll: Every single one of them is killed by [[HeroKiller Leo Bonhart]], with the exception of their newest member, Ciri.

* [[ThatManIsDead That Woman Is Dead]]: She feels this way about her "original" identity -- in the end, she had to be Cirilla, since there was no other way left for her.

* LouisCypher: Inverted. As mentioned in MeaningfulName below, his initials spell "God".

* PragmaticVillainy: His PetTheDog moments, particularly when he helps you find Ciri can be interpreted as this. Geralt is so useful a pawn that O'Dimm wants him to survive hale and hearty. [[spoiler:Further implied by the fact that he'll tell Geralt everything he need to know to save Ciri, because in the ending where she dies, so does Geralt.]]

* {{Nerd}}: About every single mention of him screams this trope, even if it generally doesn't appear in MedievalEuropeanFantasy.

* AllMythsAreTrue: Geralt argues with Birch that golden dragons don't really exist. Guess what colour [[spoiler:his dragon form turns out to be.]]

* {{Mutant}}: When Geralt his insisting that golden dragons don't exist, Birch suggests one might have existed due to a mutation.

* {{Mutant}}: When Geralt his insisting that golden dragons don't exist, Birch suggests one might have existed due to a mutation.

* {{Shapeshifting}}: He can [[spoiler: [[HumanShifting shapechange into a human]].]]

* AGodAmI: They demand worship and total obedience from the people living within their sphere of influence, tormenting those who don't comply with curses that range from mischievous to AFateWorseThanDeath.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Is masterminding the genocide of both supernatural nonhumans and magic-users in the city.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]; [[Characters/TheWitcherSkellige Cerys an Craite]] began life as the cut False Ciri character but besides being in the same age range and bearing vague similarities in their names as well as scars on their left cheeks, Cerys and Ciri--let alone False Ciri--are nothing alike.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]; Cerys an Craite began life as the cut False Ciri character but besides being in the same age range and bearing vague similarities in their names as well as scars on their left cheeks, Cerys and Ciri—let alone False Ciri—are nothing alike.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]; Cerys an Craite began life as the cut False Ciri character but besides being in the same age range and beating vague similarities in their names as well as scars on their left cheeks, Cerys and Ciri—let alone False Ciri—are nothing alike.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]; Cerys an Craite began life as the cut False Ciri character but besides being in the same age range and beating vague similarities in their names as well as scars on their left cheeks, Cerys and Ciri, let alone False Ciri are nothing alike.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Her existence potentially quite messes up the third game's plotline of Emhyr and Ciri. She was originally supposed to appear in the game somewhere in Skellige ([[spoiler:presumably in the final act when Nilfgaard is preparing to invade]]) but was one of several characters cut from the story.

[[folder:King Tankred Thyssen]]
!!King Tankred Thyssen

The only son of King Esterad and Queen Zuleyka and the current king of Kovir. He ascended to the throne of Kovir following his father's assassination and continued Kovir's policy of neutrality during the Third Nilfgaard War.
----
* FormerTeenRebel: As a youth, he fell in with "bad" company, most notably the [[ToxicFriendInfluence Baron Surcratasse, Lady de Lisemore, and the Redanian ambassador's wife in Kovir and Poviss.]] In the biggest type of {{Irony}}, it's strongly implied [[BigBadWannabe Síle]] [[VainSorceress de]] [[TheMole Tansarville]] was brougth in to temper him. And it ''worked''.
* TheGhost: Despite never appearing in ''[[VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt Wild Hunt]]'', his actions at firmly backing Tris's UndergroundRailroad makes an incredible impact.
* TheGoodKing: Even taking in consideration the stiff competition he has with [[TheHighQueen Cerys]] and [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Crach]] from Skellige, out of all the monarchs still in power by the time ''[[VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt Wild Hunt]]'' rolls around he comes as the most involved with rectifying injustices and his role as the GreaterScopeParagon in Tris's StoryArc pretty much cements him as easily one of the most heroic kings in the whole setting, if not the most.
* GreaterScopeParagon: Despite being TheGhost, he comes as being the BigGood for Tris's Arc during ''[[VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt Wild Hunt]]'' considering he's one of main benefactors for the UndergroundRailroad plan Tris has crafted and has offered Kovir as a sanctuary for all magic users on the run.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: During the third Northern War, Tankred opposed the witch hunts carried out by Radovid and offered Kovir as a sanctuary to any fleeing mages, alchemists, herbalists, and others affected by the hunt. He worked closely with Tris Merigold to arrange covert rescue and extraction of those individuals from Novigrad.
* TeamSwitzerland: Like his father before him, he continued Kovir's policy of neutrality during the Third Nilfgaard War as far as the political and military aspects were concerned. His role as the GreaterScopeParagon despite this show that even neautral forces have a limit to what they are capable of stomaching.

* TheGoodKing: Even taking in consideration the stiff competition he has with [[TheHighQueen Cerys]] and [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Crach]] from Skellige, out of all the monarchs still in power by the time ''[[VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt Wild Hunt]]'' rolls around he comes as the most involved with rectifying injustices and his role as the GreaterScopeParagon in Tris's StoryArc pretty much cements as easily one of the most heroic kings in the whole setting, if not the most.

* TheGoodKing: Out of all the monarchs still in power by the time ''[[VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt Wild Hunt]]'' rolls around he's ''by far'' treated as the most benevolent and his role as the GreaterScopeParagon in Tris's StoryArc actually pretty much cements as easily one of the most heroic kings in the whole setting, if not the most.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: During the third Northern War Tankred opposed the witch hunts carried out by Radovid and offered Kovir as a sanctuary to any fleeing mages, alchemists, herbalists, and others affected by the hunt. He worked closely with Tris Merigold to arrange covert rescue and extraction of those individuals from Novigrad.

* GreaterScopeParagon: Despite being TheGhost, he comes as being the BigGood for Tris's Arc during ''[[VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt Wild Hunt]]'' considering he's one of main bennefactor to the UndergroundRailroad plan Tris has crafted and has offered Kovir as aas a sanctuary for all magic users on the run.

----

* OhCrap: He is terrified and begins shaking with fear when he realizes that it is elves of the [[TheDreaded Vrihedd Brigade]] that have entered the medical tent.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite her role in the books and her position as[[spoiler: the Empress of Nilfgaard]], she does not show up the third game.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Out of all the witch hunters Geralt meets, Graden and Tamara seem to be the only decent ones who do not share the same extermest mentality with their coworkers.
