Thornwald was a witcher from the School of the Wolf. He was known to be the only witcher who still wore the traditional armor of the original witchers and to have never been defeated.
Biography[]
He saved Geralt's father from a pack of werewolves, and when asked for a reward, invoked the Law of Surprise.
Years later, the child he had claimed by the Law of Surprise, Geralt, was accused of defying the witcher code and teachings. Thornwald traveled to Kaer Morhen to duel him. They both wore traditional heavy armor—Geralt for the first time in his life. Still, he walked out of it alive. Thornwald didn't.

Notes[]
- This character appears only in The Hexer TV series. In the books, Geralt's story is different: Visenna brought him to Kaer Morhen herself, of her own will, and without being obliged to do so by the Law of Suprise.
- Wiedźmin: Gra Wyobraźni adapted the series' elements into its own lore, including the traditional armor worn by members of the Order of Witchers. Since the series do not specify Thornwald's birthdate, it is unknown whether was he trained in Kaer Morhen and simply liked the traditional clothing, or belonged to first witchers created and wore the armor out of sentiment.
