10 Video Game NPCs Who Sneakily Knew EVERYTHING

Despite being a sadistic demon, Gaunter O'Dimm is one of the most beloved characters in The Witcher 3 thanks to his enigmatic allure and reality-bending powers, which include a complete knowledge of the past, present, and future.

You get a glimpse of this supernatural omniscience in the Heart of Stone DLC, but what most people don't realize the first time they play Witcher 3 is that Gaunter actually makes an appearance in the game's intro as well, also flexing his insider info on the most crucial events in the game.

Your first meeting with Gaunter takes place inside the inn in White Orchard. He introduces himself as a mirror seller and then tips Geralt off about a group of soldiers who might've seen Yennefer without even being told the witcher is looking for her, setting off the main story of the game.

Yes, Gaunter not only knew what Geralt was up to from the get-go, he also helped set his destiny in motion, making him indirectly responsible for saving the world from the Wild Hunt.

Maybe the devil's not so bad after all.
