Borch



Borch Three Jackdaws was a knight, always accompanied by two Zerrikanian women, Téa and Véa, to whom he referred as his "weapons". He never carried conventional weapons of any kind, saying that he could not, but never elaborating on the matter.

The witcher Geralt met him after slaying a Basilisk. He invited Geralt back to a nearby inn, using the opportunity to question the witcher on his personal philosophy and was pleased to learn Geralt didn't hunt dragons, because, as Geralt explained, they don't threaten humans; rather, it is humans who hunt them.

Borch wasn't keen on killing Myrgtabrakke, the dragon of Barefield, and later adopted her baby, for in reality, Borch was a huge golden dragon by the name of Villentretenmerth with the ability to change shape.

While Geralt and Yennefer were still unaware that the dragon was actually Borch, Yennefer asked Geralt to kill it so that she might try to concoct a medicine from the carcass that could cure her infertility. Geralt refused and this did not sit well with the sorceress at all.

In The Hexer movie and TV series, Borch was portrayed by Andrzej Chyra.

The story is also told in graphic form in Granica możliwości.

He is indirectly mentioned in the game. During Shani's party in Chapter II, Dandelion mentions that Geralt once had a vampire friend, Regis. To which Geralt derisively replies: "...and a dragon friend, too?", a humorous reference to Geralt's friendship with Borch.
