BIOGRAPHY

Few have ever known the story of Letho's life before becoming a witcher, and none of them are still alive today. Where he came from, what his family was like, and who he might have grown up to be are all details lost to time, lost to Letho's memory too. He remembers, vaguely, that three older girls have taken him into their care, and they spent a couple of years together, surviving the war-torn graveyard their homeland had become after being conquered and assimilated into the Nilfgaardian Empire. He doesn’t remember their voices or faces– and sometimes he’s not sure he remembers their names correctly either– but he remembers how brave they were. How capable and clever and resourceful. He also remembers that they were kind and compassionate, enough to take in an orphaned baby when the oldest of them was not even a teenager yet.

Surviving the ruthless training and trials of the Viper School, Letho would go on to become directly involved in history-altering events across the Continent.

In the forests of Angren on July 25, 1270, Letho was near death after being struck by a slyzard's tail, but Geralt of Rivia found and saved him while chasing after the Wild Hunt to rescue Yennefer. As thanks for saving his life, Letho told Geralt where to find the Wild Hunt and, alongside his own companions, traveled with him to find the spectral riders. Eventually, the group caught up with the Wild Hunt on the Winter Solstice, by the Hanged Man's Tree in Nilfgaard. Despite their skill, the witchers couldn't defeat all the warriors and a stalemate ensued before Geralt offered himself in exchange for Yennefer.

Feeling it'd be disrespectful to Geralt to just leave the sorceress somewhere, Letho and the witchers took care of her. However, she was in pain, suffering from amnesia, and caused an endless source of trouble for the group, which, in the Nilfgaardian Empire, meant she was liable to get caught and killed. While the group traveled constantly to try and avoid attention, they were eventually detained and thrown in jail. However, Emperor Emhyr var Emreis himself later approached Letho and offered him a deal he couldn't refuse: sow chaos in the North by killing some of its rulers, lay the blame on the Lodge of Sorceresses, and the School of the Viper would be restored.
