Biography[]
Background[]
Voleth Meir a powerful and ancient demon, and also is revealed to be an elf, and a member of the Wild Hunt, capable of being empowered by the pain, turmoil, and desperation of others. Like other monsters that had come to the Continent, she appeared there after the spheres' conjunction. She crossed paths with the first witchers, who proceeded to entomb her within a hut underneath an elven ruin within the North. In the following centuries, only the witchers recall the demon they had trapped. However, despite Voleth Meir's entombed state, she retained the ability to visit the dreams of certain individuals.
When Ciri's powers were revealed during the Slaughter of Cintra, in which her scream had toppled a monolith, Voleth Meir had awakened once more and realized the girl had the ability to open portals to other spheres by screaming at the monoliths. Thus she began planning on how to use Ciri in preparation for the Wild Hunt.
