I always thought it was one of those little nods to the Devil being said to be the patron of Witches and Warlocks (the Polish word for Witcher is basically translated as Warlock in other contexts although the idea of a "Witcher" is something a little different) And hey; Geralt deals in contracts and sometimes even word-traps. I suppose with Gaunter it's bit of professional respect.

I solely believe that gaunter is what he says he is. A mirror merchant. He sells mirrors. Not literal ones. He Becomes the literal mirror of somebody,and gets paid for it. As said in one other video by another commenter,he is kind and caring while talking to shani. Downright evil and arrogant when talking to olgierd. And neutral and straight to the point when talking to geralt. It also adds on to the theory of being evil incarnate. He is only evil incarnate to those who are evil themselves.

Yes, but see, the thing is, Olgierd wasn't "evil". Was he a saint? No. He led a band of pillagers and looters, however, he still lived by a moral code, one which lasted even through his loss of humane feelings. At the beginning, he berates that guy for touching the woman inappropriately, and later on, he has him with his head on the chopping block for killing the woman's father, the lord of the manor. Yes, he killed Iris' father, but that was more by accident, and by that time, he was heartless enough that he didn't care what happened to the corpse. Some even speculate that his corpse was used to create the body inhabited by the Caretaker, hence why his face was cut out and replaced with a piece of flesh. But we can't know for certain. And yes, he was selfish in his desire for Iris, but let's not forget she loved him just as much as he loved her, and, going by what Iris says: "It's my fault. It was for me Olgierd summoned the Man Of Glass, and it was my fault that he wished for riches, then immortality for us both." and also, by what Prof. Shakeslocke says later on, that a wandering witch mentioned a solution, it might've been something that this wandering witch told both of them. We don't know. Of course, I'm not forgetting the fact that Olgierd sacrificed his brother, blood of his blood, for this, though that was out of desperation, I suppose. Sure, it's not warranted, but I think living eternally with the regret of it weighing down your mind is punishment enough. I think, however, that O'Dimm actually built his punishment on Olgierd's greed. I mean, Olgierd was terribly greedy, as he wasn't content enough with just the immortality. So, O'Dimm wasn't content enough with just taking Olgierd's soul and brother, either, condemning him to a long life of misery and suffering by making him lose his feelings and become unable to enjoy the very things he had sold his soul for, on top of extending the punishment to Iris, who, well, became immortal, but in a very twisted and horrible way.

In his dream, he saw her grow, laugh and play with her in his fantasy, while sleeping. She was as “alive” to the professor, as anyone else. He thought it a small gift from O’Dimm since the circle kept him stuck on one place. However, the final entry, after years with this fasxsimially child, she became sick a died a horrible death, slow, painful death and he could do nothing but watch. O’Dimm had him fall in love with having a child, to only kill his joy and only escape from the living nightmare, O’Dimm had cursed him to.

imo it was actually the circle that caused him nightmares, visions and going insane. Remember Gaunter plays with words - in Blood and wine Marlene was told "no spoon in the world shall sate your hunger" and she went around looking for spoons, even though there was no right spoon. Same with the circle, the professor believed he'd be truly safe in the circle and in the end he died by slippin on a bottle and breaking his neck - a casual death, not at all caused by demonic powers - it was caused by him staying in the circle, and going insane with fear.

@@therominator99 Wrong. O'Dimm just picks people as personal projects to torture. If you believed O'Dimm is fair or just a natural force, you fell for his lie. If he was just "interested" in the professor, he'd just learn about him, not spend months torturing the man. I also think he just didn't want Shakeslock knowing his true nature either because it makes it harder for him to deceive mortals if some professor publishes his findings about O'Dimm. The torture was just a bonus he got out of the deal. Evidence: - He kills the friendly drunk in the tavern for no reason. If he was just a "mirror" then he'd return the friendliness and join Geralt and the man for a round of drinking. But O'Dimm was annoyed the drunk interrupted his business meeting with Geralt. - Olgierd wasn't destined to be evil. He's not reflecting Olgierd's greed. He's directly responsible for ruining his life by giving him the Heart of Stone. He only _after the fact_ claims Olgierd deserves it because that would persuade Geralt to help him. The "merchant of mirrors" shit is just part of his roleplay act to disarm the people he deals with. It's a deliberate mythology that he's cultivated and permits to circulate. He killed Shakeslock because he asked too many questions.

Also Shakeslock lost his eyesight searching for O'Dimm in Nilfgaard, but instead of giving him his eyesight back, he places him in a protective circle where he can't be harmed, which wasn't really mentioned earlier as a wish.

There ARE similarities of O'Dimm to our own interpretation of the devil. The professor says O'Dimm met Olgierd at a crossroads. Geralt also meets him there when O'Dimm collects his payment, the crossroads of Yantra. He grants Olgierd his wish. According to voodoo folklore, If you want to make a contract with the devil, first you trim your nails as close as you possibly can. Take a black cat bone and a guitar and go to a lonely fork in the road (a crossroads) at midnight. sit down there and play your best piece, thinking of and wishing for the devil all the while. By and by you will hear music, dim at first but louder and louder as the musician approaches nearer; do not look around; just keep on playing your guitar. The unseen musician will finally sit down by you. After a while you will feel something tugging at your instrument. Do not try to hold it. Let the devil take it and keep thumping along with your fingers as if you had a guitar in your hands. Then the devil will hand you his instrument to play and accompany you on yours. After doing this for a time he will seize your fingers and trim your nails till they bleed, finally taking his guitar back and returning your own. Keep on playing; do not look around. His music will become fainter and fainter as he moves away. When all is quiet you may go home. You will be able to play any piece you desire on the guitar and you can do anything you want to do in the world, but you have sold your soul to the devil and are his in the world to come.

It’s heavily implied that O’Dimm is basically the devil. A fascinating character. I’ve noticed many people try to attribute “nicer” or “gentler” characteristics to the “man” based on certain situations, but this is wishful thinking. He is altogether evil and his benevolence or kindness only extends as far as to play with his food before he devours their soul. It might entertain him to be not classically barbaric but rather a clever more satisfying evil. But it is there. I imagine everyone here is afraid (as I would be in such a position) and likes to imagine he would extend to them some sort of kindness or take pity should they show their bellies. I assure you his evil ambitions extend none.

Exactly. This DLC is basically, Geralt winning a battle of wits against the devil himself. Personally I find this story line much more compelling than even the main “end of the world” quest line. The devil comes in many forms they say and in the witcher universe, he is personified as a wandering, wish granting, tramp. But I think devs made it clear, he is the devil as Olgierd resorted to dark magic, necromancy, etc to solve his life’s problems. Also, he appears many times in various quest throughout the DLC, as if to show his omnipresent ability just like God. Now that they have announced witcher 4, wonder what role the devil will play in Geralts story….CDPR have taken Geralt’s story up a notch as there is no Character like this in the books.

Or telling the bar owner if she just said a certain phrase to that resurrected addict, she'd learn all the secrets of the universe, and go mad.

What I think is interesting is the way O'Dimm punished the professor for attempting to learn more about him. It was bugging me at first, you would think the blindness would be enough... The professor is a classic case of knowing far too much for your own good, knowledge was his undoing. - Geralt asks if he's a prisoner, to which he responds "protective custody". He's under confinement of the Witch Hunters who's captain was Menge of the Eternal Fire. - He's one of the few living experts on the occult, all things magic. The Eternal Fire/Witch Hunters are using his knowledge to seek and kill all magic users, human and non human. He says "But that's beyond my control". As if he's absolving himself of fault. - O'Dimm being as clever as he is, made him a prisoner twice over by placing a rune circle around him and condemning him to death. He suffered just like the mages and sorceresses suffer before they died because, of his knowledge.

I know it’s been 1 year... but perhaps, this was because O’Dimm wants Geralt’s soul too, by giving the mark, he know Geralt would ask around how to remove the mark, until Shani said to him about this professor, it’s a risky game, but if Geralt plays his game with his soul as wager, he can have his like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. That is why the professor don’t know anything about the mark. Making Geralt either blindly follow O’Dimm’s instructions or searching for a way that will grant him Geralt’s soul. It’s 50/50 gambling with O’Dimm.

Come on guys, you don't need thousand of evidences to see that Gaunter is the devil or at least a demon. 1. there is a scene where olgierd tries to summon Gaunter with a reversed pentagram 2. He trades wishes for souls 3. You need to meet him at crossroads (this was the obvious evidence that made me immediatly think he is at least a demon) 4. He is directly inspired of Leland gaunt, the mephisto from stephen king Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar There is actually one theory that i would accept : he is a God An evil god like there is in the nordic mythologie, like loki, or even cronos from the greek one. It also match up with he's initals.

The Witcher setting is a multiverse. The conjunction of the spheres was an event where many universes touched together and creatures from them entered the Witcher world. Humans are literally from Earth but ended up on the Witcher world either through a world gate or more likely a conjunction. Vampires and elves in particular are definitely from different worlds since there are higher Vampires that remember their home world and want to return since just existing in the Witcher world causes them discomfort. The wild hunt that live in another dimension and used to invade other worlds to take slaves but lost the ability to create world gates at some point and are only able to enter the world of the Witcher and Ciri’s bloodline somehow holds the power to allow them to regain the ability to create world gates. In the future long past the events of the Witcher all of the elves on the Witcher world leave the world through a gate, destroying every trace of themselves that they can’t take with them.
