Istredd

A sorcerer-in-training at Aretuza, Istredd cares more for digging up the buried history of Elder ruins than for court intrigue or royal favor. He is patient and unshowy, drawn to Yennefer's sharp mind rather than her looks, and offers her something rare: someone who sees who she actually is.

Royce Pierreson plays him without a trace of the ambition that defines everyone else at Aretuza, which makes his quiet decency land as genuinely disarming rather than naive. He's the show's argument that gentleness can be its own kind of magic, and that makes the choices around him carry real weight.
