Who they are
Geralt is a professional monster slayer trying to remain decent in a world that repeatedly turns neutrality into a privilege. His personal story becomes inseparable from Ciri, Yennefer and the political wars crossing the Continent.
The games let him make consequential choices, so his best profile is a map of relationships and pressures rather than a claim that he always chooses one route.
Their story belongs to Kaer Morhen and also touches Temeria and Novigrad and Velen and Toussaint. The ruined school where Geralt's found family and Ciri's training begin.
