    15 Geralt of Rivia Quotes

    The Witcher

    Geralt of Rivia is the white-haired monster hunter at the heart of The Witcher games. He is a witcher: a mutant trained from childhood to kill monsters for coin. He is gruff, dry, and honest, and he would rather dodge a hard moral choice than pretend one side is clean. Most of these lines come from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, its Blood and Wine story, and the game's cinematic trailer. Below are his real quotes, each with the game and the scene it comes from.
