Chird was the assistant to the mage Hieronymus at Kaer Morhen.
Biography[]
Chird was the assistant to the School of the Wolf's Resident mage, Hieronymus, presumably assisting the mage in performing the witcher mutations on the witcher candidates. At one point, his master and the School's fencing instructor, Varin, discovered the notes and diagrams of the legendary witcher Elgar. Since Chird had some knowledge of metallurgy, he aided Hieronymus in deciphering the diagrams, eventually helping finish the steel sword diagram and handing it to Varin.
His master had also deciphered Elgar’s notes, which contained instructions that, if followed, would lead to other diagrams Elgar had hidden around the Continent. Chird didn’t set off immediately to find the diagrams; instead, he spent several days working on the silver sword diagram in the old watchtower's workshop.
Unfortunately, this meant that he was present when the valley came under attack by a peasant mob. He locked himself inside the workshop, hoping that Varin would come to his aid and that his master would realize the danger. However, the mob eventually broke in and killed him.
