The world of the Witcher contains a plethora of complex characters that would all be worthy of an entry on this list. However, none are quite as complex and memorable as the antagonist from the Hearts of Stone expansion, Gaunter O’Dimm.

The so-called Master Mirror is first encountered right at the beginning of the game in White Orchard. Something seems off right from the start, although you will need to wait to find out what as this is the last that you will see of him until the Hearts of Stone DLC.

Described as ‘Evil Incarnate’, O’Dimm is an ominous being who will grant individuals wishes in exchange for their soul, much like the Devil is known to do in folklore, leading fan theorists to speculate that O’Dimm is the Devil. His motivations are unclear, only adding to his mystique, although you can be sure that these motivations are sinister.

If that’s not creepy enough for you then it has been noticed that in various cutscenes throughout the expansion's story, O’Dimm can be spotted disguised as other characters in the background. Spooky Indeed.
