Who is Jaskier in The Witcher?
The bard with one good song · Geralt's Path
Jaskier (The bard with one good song) is a character in The Witcher, part of Geralt's Path. Jaskier graduates Oxenfurt, picks up a lute, and attaches himself to the most marketable misery on the Continent: a brooding witcher with excellent bone structure and a terrible reputation. 'Toss a Coin to Your Witcher' rewrites Geralt's public image in one chorus — the bard's genuine genius wrapped in a man with the self-preservation of a moth. Jaskier calls Geralt his friend. Geralt calls Jaskier a series of threats. Both are lying about something.
