Ever since The Witcher first came out, it cast its spell on audiences worldwide. From powerful characters to an ever-evolving storyline, the series has given fans its best efforts. While season 3 may have fallen short of the standard fans had expected, the fourth season could bring the hype for the series back. However, with old and new villains coming out of the woodwork, viewers are confused about Mahesh Jadu’s Vilgefortz. Especially, what he means for the storyline.

With the enigmatic sorcerer Vilgefortz emerging as a formidable force in the magical tapestry of the series, viewers want to know just how powerful he really is.

Mahesh Jadu’s Vilgefortz’s power in The Witcher

While the books and the Netflix adaptations of The Witcher have varied over the years, this time fans could see the storyline merge. In the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, the character of Vilgefortz is a central figure. He is a sorcerer with a wide array of spells. From offensive attacks to defensive enchantments, Mahesh Jadu’s character has it all. This also set him apart from the rest and made him a force to be reckoned with.

Apart from his magical prowess, Vilgefortz became known for his strategic brilliance. He navigated the intricate politics and power struggles within the magical realm with calculated precision. In fact, the character’s ability to manipulate events to his advantage also added a depth of intelligence that gives layers to his character. However, every relationship he nurtured in the series ended in conflict.

While he might be a formidable foe to come up against, The Witcher fans have been locked in a battle of whether Geralt of Rivia can defeat him.

Can Geralt of Rivia defeat Vilgefortz in The Witcher?

Since The Witcher began, the world got to see Henry Cavill’s Geralt come to life. Now that the star has moved on from the role and given it to Liam Hemsworth, the confusion about the storyline has never been more real. However, with the fourth season of the show set to release hopefully sometime next year, there is one question that seems to stump fans: Will Geralt defeat the sorcerer, Vilgefortz?

Since in Andrzej Sapkowski’s books Geralt defeated the powerful wizard, the Netflix series could see the same thing happen. However, with the streaming giant deviating from the original plot over the years, there is no telling what version fans of the adapted series could end up with. So, fans will have to wait and see how this arc ends up playing out.
