Who is Geralt of Rivia?
Geralt of Rivia is a witcher, a professional monster hunter, and the main character of The Witcher books by the Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski and of the video games that adapted them. This identification comes from outside the editions; Issue.9 gives only the first name, the silver sword and the monsters.
How does Issue.9 use Geralt?
In the chapter 9.2 of Issue.9 the author tells that real life was not gentle with him and that he found heaven in cinema, geek culture and video games, living a thousand lives in the skin of heroic characters. Geralt is one of the names he gives as proof, next to Kratos. The passage ends with a question, how real life could compare to that, and the chapter concludes that people who play are learning and training to be heroes in real life.
