The second season of The Witcher It's already on Netflix and we've all jumped on it eagerly. With so much, that we have not been able to recognize one of the most famous actors in Game of Thrones. In any case, if you haven't realized who this actor is either, we're not going to blame you, because the truth is that he is unrecognizable. We tell you all about who he is and what character he plays.
La second season of The Witcher It's already on Netflix and once again it has taken seconds to achieve the most important thing a series can achieve, becoming a meme.
And in addition to the fact that we all feel identified with Geralt de Rivia in that sentence, what we did not expect is that in the first episode of the second season he would appear one of the most famous actors in the series Game of Thrones: Kristofer Hivju himself.
You know, Tormund Giantslayer…
But, you haven't even recognized him, it's normal, because he plays Nivellen, the cursed man who looks like this in the series, after seven people worked on his makeup.
Who is Nivellen in The Witcher
Nivellen, the character played by Kristofer Hivju, is a cursed man in the form of a monster.
In the books, Geralt of Rivia follows a trail of corpses to an old mansion during the short story. A grain of truth.
There he meets Nivellen, who is trying to chase the sorcerer with his looks and his grunts. However, Nivellen can talk, and in fact he and Geralt spend a friendly evening.
Actually, it's not a monster, but a man who was cursed by a priestess. The reason is that Nivellen was in charge of a group of bandits and raped said priestess, who told him that she was a monster in the skin of a human being, but that she would become a monster in the skin of a monster.
That made him adopt the current appearance that he has, something that he has tried to break by living with numerous women. Fairy tales say that love, or at least affection, can break these witchcrafts, so she has tried for a decade, but without success.
Nivellen lives on his estate, where he spends a year with each woman who comes. At the end of said year, she is she leaves with gold and jewels and, while she is with him, Nivellen gives them a good life. Apparently, after ten years of punishment, it seems that the criminal is reformed Or, at least, it is no longer what it was.
after the evening, Geralt leaves in peace and the two characters will have a bond that, although it is not very deep, it is possible that it is important at a certain moment in the plot.
The character in the series retains the essence of the Nivellen in the books well, as does the main theme behind it: tragedy and the fact that perhaps a man can change even when harboring a horrible past.
As you see, The Witcher continues its triumphant run on Netflix and does so by adapting quite well some of the best stories of our sorcerer favorite. We'll see if there are more famous cameos or we'll have to settle for Tormund. Giant slayer.
