All 10 Main Character’s Age from Netflix’s Witcher Series

In the Witcher Series, with infinite adventures in the books and on Netlfix, the main character’s age seems difficult to figure out.

The Polish-American fictional series, The Witcher, was released on Netflix in the year 2019. Since then, the fans have been increasing day-by-day and wanting more. The foundation of the Witcher series is the witcher books written by a Polish author, Andrzej Sapkowski, the creator of the dramatic adventures in medieval times.

Netflix’s Witcher series is an English translation of the Polish-written short stories or novels and also includes some of the help from the Witcher video games. The series includes various important characters who are living among beasts trying to fulfill their own dreams or ambitions. Witcher, every main character has a different and interesting story, and each one of them plays an important part in working all the things together.

One of the thought-provoking things in the series is its characters’ age. The book states differently than what has been told on Netflix, which contradicts a lot in the minds of fans. This results in fans going on a wild hunt for information and analyzing timelines, events, and whatever they can find off the internet to discover the ages of the beloved characters.

The inspiration, Witcher Books, and the series on Netflix don’t share a chronological timeline of the events. Whatever timeline was given, it still lacks a lot of information about Witcher’s every main character age. There is a high need for a chronological timeline which the Polish author, Andrzej Sapkowski, could write, and everything will be sorted then. In the meantime, fans are only guessing the best current best option to satisfy themselves.

10. Stregobor Age: An Illusionist & A Black Sun Believer, Closing on His Fifth Century
