->Joanna "Kenna" Selborne

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: She very quickly realises what sort of mess and company she got herself into by taking Skellen's money, while being more or less a regular citizen with an atypical skillset. The main reason she stays is because her own reputation is on the line, but first given chance, she flees the rest of the mercs and cutthroats. 
* MundaneUtility: She's TheEmpath, so she works as an interrogator and a low-profile infiltrator (she can make people forget they saw her).

* NiceGirl: She isn't even evil enough to qualify for AffablyEvil. It just so happens that this time she ends up in a ''really'' messed up company. After she's captured by Nilfgaardian authorities for her involvement with Skellen, she fully cooperates, knowing she stands a genuine chance to just get a pardon due to never doing anything wrong or outright illegal.

* PsychicNosebleed: She actively avoids getting those, as it's a clear sign she's pushing it too far.

* MindRape: She's very much capable of pulling it on people, ranging from minor suggestions to forcing them into specific decisions. When she is locked in a Nilfgaardian prison, she makes a cellmate who tries to rape her, causing him to not only suffer painful visions, but also to headbutt a guard, leading to the thug being beaten senselessly. She ultimately ends up "helping" the judge make up his mind and provide her full pardon once she's done with her testimony for the legal court.

->Joanna "Kenna" Selborne]]

* MakeAWish: Offers to grant some of Geralt's wishes if he can if Geralt gives him Yennifer.

* ShockAndAwe: Appears to have favored this when it came to offensive magic, even creating an extremely powerful and complicated spell called Alzur's Thunder.

->''"Your most serene majesty. We find ourselves in a world turned most foul. A world filled with innumerable horrors. Monstrosities... that prey on the meek and mighty alike. Tis truly a wretched scourge born of nightmares. Yet it need not be so! Freed of the fetters of the spineless Council, we can create something new. Hunters of exception strength, speed, agility, equipped to overcome absolutely any foe. Bards will toil to do justice to their feats. For sometimes one needs a monster, to slay a monster!"''

* AbsoluteCleavage: Like many sorceresses, she wears a very low cut dress that shows off her cleavage.

* OurFounder: Of the original Order Of Witchers, their primary creator as well, and by extension he is this to all the Schools, considering the Trials and knowledge of mutations come from him.

* TheAce: Widely considered the greatest human sorcerer who ever existed, was highly charismatic and intelligent, and excelled in his many different fields. His list of accomplishments and creations only lend credence to this belief, including inventing a variety of powerful spells, and being the primary creator of the Witchers, founding the Order Of Witchers, the Trials and convincing the Kings of the North to finance and accept them as a solution to the monsters infesting the land.

* SkunkStripe: Depicted as having one in his hair and his beard in his Gwent art.

* AffablyEvil: For all his many horrific yet great deeds, he seemed to have an impeccably polite and sociable manner, though this came out when he was engaging with nobles, those financing his projects and other outsiders during his adventures. It is said once they left he returned to being FauxAffablyEvil when he was around just the Witchers.

* {{Jerkass}}: Really enjoys to torment people for no real reason and acting as if everyone was inferior to him and his overinflated ego. He met with Geralt in the past and back then chased him away from Kovirian court when the Witcher showed up for his due payment after slaying a monster. The countless lives he ruined in the chase after the prophecy mean squat to him, just like the inhabitants of Blaviken when Renfri treatens to turn the streets into rivers of blood.

* MasterOfIllusion: Inside of his tower is a massive ArtificialOutdoorsDisplay, looking like a peaceful meadow. Part of the illusion involves a naked woman tending to mage's needs.

* TheAce: Widely considered the greatest human sorcerer who ever existed, was highly charismatic and intelligent, and excelled in his many different fields. His list of accomplishments and creations only lend credence to this belief, including inventing a variety of powerful spells, and being the primary creator of the Witchers, founding the Order Of Witchers, the Trials and convincing the Kings of the North to accept them as a solution to the monsters infesting the land.
* AffablyEvil: For all his many horrific yet great deeds, he seemed to have an impeccably polite and sociable manner.
* DeathByIrony: The original creator of the infamous monster slaying Witchers who saved countless lives from monsters is killed by summoning a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant]] [[BigCreepyCrawlies Viy]], taking half of Maribor with him in the process.

* TheExtremistWasRight: He ends up being proven right that the Witcher experiments the Council of Mages considered a failure and wanted to shut down were actually viable by keeping them going. He is also proven right that regardless of the cost they are extremely effective at slaying monsters to make settling the North much safer and easier on the kingdoms.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His monster summoning desire and powers ended up being his own undoing in the end.

* KarmicDeath: A conjurer and creator of monsters who met his end thanks to conjuring one.

* OurFounder: Of the original Order Of Witchers, their primary creator as well, and by extension he is this to all the Schools, considering the Trials and mutations come from him.

* TheSociopath: Seemingly held zero remorse for the many victims of his ruthless Witcher experiments, or the victims of the monsters he created, studied, experimented on and unleashed on the world. Was very charismatic, and outgoing in manner, but only seemed to [[ItsAllAboutMe care about himself]] and [[ForScience his own work]].

* SkunkStripe: Had one in his hair and his beard.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Ironically comes across as this, and even after his death after all the suffering and death he caused is remembered as a great man, the opposite of how most of his [[HeroWithBadPublicity Witchers]] are treated.
* VillainousLegacy: His creation of mutations and the Trials appears to be this, with various ruthless sorcerers and organizations in the series attempting to steal his knowledge of the process to create mutants and monsters for themselves. The powerful Viy of Maribor he summoned that caused his death and te destruction of half of Maribor is still reputedly out there somewhere in the world as well, wasn't confirmed to be slain or dead, to say nothing of other monsters he summoned over the years.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Had shades of this. Creating the Witchers, while requiring a good deal of suffering, death and misery for many innocent kidnapped children, ends up saving countless innocent lives as well from the monsters infesting the North.

* VillainousLegacy: His creation of mutations and the Trials appears to be this, with various ruthless sorcerers and organizations in the series attempting to steal his knowledge of the process to create mutants and monsters for themselves.

* OneManArmy: One sorcerer army, wielding great magical power and arcane knowledge.

* MadScientist: Perhaps the epitome of it for the series. Ruthlessly kidnapped and experimented on countless children to create Witchers [[TheSociopath without any evident regret]] for the agonizing Trials and the many who died horrifically during the mutation process. His mentor Cosimo Malaspina and disciple Idarran of Ulivo were this likewise, creating them alongside him.

* OurFounder: Of the original Order Of Witchers, and their primary creator as well, by extension all the Schools, considering the Trials and mutations come from him.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Ironically comes across as this, and even after his death after all the suffering he caused is remembered as a great man, the opposite of most of his [[HeroWithBadPublicity Witchers]].

* TheSociopath: Seemingly held zero remorse for the many victims of his ruthless Witcher experiments, or the victims of the monsters he created, studied, experimented on and unleashed on the world. Was very charismatic, and outgoing in manner, but only seemed to care about himself and his own work.

A legendary, powerful renegade sorcerer, inventor, scientist, knight and necromancer who broke away from the Council of Mages to forge his own path in the world, regardless of the cost to himself and others, and the primary creator of the [[SuperSoldier Witchers]], their Trials and [[OurFounder founder]] of the original Order of Witchers.
