Dandelion

Dandelion (Polish: Jaskier, supposed real name: Julian Alfred Pankratz viscount de Lettenhove, although the title might be false) - a poet, minstrel, bart and the closest friend of witcher Geralt of Rivia. He studied poetry and music for four years at the Academy of Oxenfurt (during he studies, he achieved the reputation of a sloth, drunkard and idiot), later becoming a professor (after passing the exams with exceptional results) and taught students for a year, and then left the academy to travel the world. He still visits Oxenfurt from time to time to give guest lectures. In several years he gained worldwide fame and became known as one of the best minstrels in the Northern Kingdoms, and his best known song is the Ballad of the Lion Cub of Cintra. He also gained a reputation of the biggest womanizer in the world - he even managed to conquer the heart of Anna Henrietta, the ruler of Toussaint. During his travels with Geralt Dandelion started to write his memoirs, titled "Half a Century of Poetry". He is very handsome and sometimes is mistaken for an elf or half-elf.

Trivia
Dandelion's original Polish name, "Jaskier", literally means "Buttercup", but was changed in the English translation because "Buttercup" sounds feminine in English.
