important info: geralt is a witcher, a man born human who was forcibly mutated via magick as a child using genetic material selected from supernatural creatures for the purpose of creating the perfect hunter of those same creatures. he was then raised as a weapon. there is literally magick in his dna, and he is a monster hunter—but in a contemporary setting these dead / secret histories that he and his profession come from are considered fiction. to a mundane person who isn’t hiring him for supernatural work, he will not reveal anything even approaching his ‘species’ / profession.

in the eyes of the criminal underworld where they are only vaguely known, witchers are considered no more than hitmen with a melodramatic name. in this environment, geralt is famous—known by various codenames, recognized for massacres / killings / crimes that are a byproduct of his true profession. the victims of his prey have been pinned on him by association, and often killing humanoid or passing creatures leads to the assumption that nothing more than a hyper-violent hit took place if cleanup is compromised. some situations have arisen (such as the public slaughter of eight people in a night market in bełchatów, poland) which are results of his work as a witcher or situational complications but are viewed by the world as the acts of a brutally efficient and theatrical assassin.

if you are involved in similar work or frequent large cities in central europe, you may have heard of him either in description / association or as a kind of noir myth, though these stories are attached only to various comic-book-esque titles he’s been given by people spreading said stories—the white wolf, the butcher of  bełchatów, and a compromised pseudonym he once used when taking contracts, ravix—and not to his real name
