11. The Crones Of Crookback Bog

Admittedly we're talking about three characters rather than one here, but these haggard wenches could hardly be separated, could they? Another group that Geralt has to quiz as he searches for Ciri's whereabouts, they eventually prove to be as unpleasant as their appearances would suggest.

After twisting Geralt's arm and enlisting his help with an old enemy, the Crones eventually reveal an allegiance to the Wild Hunt and an intention to turn Ciri over to Imlerith. Helping them out at first feels like a necessary evil, but before long it proves that they are in fact just plain evil.

The Crones represent how few people within the world of the game can truly be taken at face value. Their horrid appearance is initially undone by a reliable helpfulness, but this in turn is betrayed in favour of their awful intentions.
