The Witcher background belongs to a character who was taken as a child to undergo the transformative process of becoming a Witcher—a monster hunter for hire. Subjected to intense training, alchemical mutations, and dangerous trials, they gained enhanced senses, agility, and longevity, but often lost much of their humanity. Witchers are skilled in combat, alchemy, and simple magic (Signs), and are experts at tracking and slaying monsters. Despite their abilities, they are viewed with suspicion and fear, living on the fringes of society. Witchers are often stoic, pragmatic, and driven by their duty to protect the world from monstrous threats.
