"Do you really wish to know?" — Spoilers from the books and/or adaptations to follow!

Ostrit was a courtier in the court of King Foltest who loved the king's sister, Adda of Temeria.

Biography

Angered by the incestuous relationship between the king and his sister, and the pregnancy it led to, Ostrit cursed them, though it's unclear if it was him or the siblings' mother Sancia of Sodden (who also disapproved of the relationship) who ultimately caused the curse.

Both the mother and the girl-child died during the labor, and they were buried. Several years later, the curse bloomed and the girl rose as a striga, haunting the streets of Old Vizima. Ostrit was killed by the monster when Geralt of Rivia used him as a bait to draw the striga out of its crypt.

The following is considered game canon only and may contradict Andrzej Sapkowski's works.

At one point he had a one night affair with the princess' first midwife Maerlina and she later bore a son, Elid, though Ostrit never knew of him.

End of game canon content.

-He appears in both, first Polish comic showing short story illustrated by [[Bogusław Polch]] under name "[[Geralt (comic)|Geralt]]" and than is also shown with second issue of "[[The Witcher: Curse of Crows]]" when Geralt retells Ciri backstory of his first striga contract. He describes him as following: {{BookQuote|4 = They <sup>(crows)</sup> remind me a bit of Ostrit, Foltest's courtier. A jabberer like few others. He and Velerad told me both Queen Adda and her daughter had been thought dead. Dead and buried. (...)The man had been in love with Adda. One of those fierce, grinding loves that eat you up inside. And that man, chubby little Ostrit, had to stand aside and watch as the woman he loved was sullied by the king, her brother, who even stuck her with child. Can't say I envy Ostrit. Must've devastated. Though I also can't condone what he did next.}}
-Its also mentioned that the courtier had a one night affair with princess' first midwife [[Maerlina]] and she later, after his death, bore a son he was not predestined to rise, [[Elid]].
