8Cahir Mawr Dyffryn Aep Ceallach — Nilfgaardian Intelligence Officer
Cahir Is A Clear Villain In The Witcher Season 1
Although theCahir twist inThe Witcherseason 3set Cahir on a unmortgaged path towards salvation , he is a clear villain when the show begins and deserves to be ranked . unluckily for Cahir , his lack of magical ability bring down him at the bottom ofThe Witcher ’s villain power rankings . Still , Cahir is an able swordsman , and he notably defeats Vilgefortz in a affaire d’honneur during time of year 1 , but it ’s clear now that Vilgefortz was holding back the majority of his power to proceed his artifice .
The Witcheris available to stream only on Netflix .
The other matter that can be say for Cahir is that he proves himself to be extremely driven and resourceful , even if his driving force is the product of wickedness . Still , his ruthlessness and skill with a sword would do him little good in a fight with a witcher or a mage , so he takes the lowest ranking .

7Rience — Vilgefortz’s Henchman
Known For Wielding Fire Magic
Rience is one ofThe Witcher ’s more daunting villain , but the evidence suggests he is not as hefty as he thinks he is . Rience is certainly no lucifer for Yennefer in a sightly fight , considering how well she holds his portal open at Shaerrawedd inThe Witcherseason 3 . Rience certainly is n’t a slouch , and he displays some pretty impressive fervour conjuring trick before being vote out by Geralt in time of year 3 , buthis lack of skill in any force field other than flak tells against him .
Fire conjuration is extremely dangerous and , by extension , anyone who wields it is extremely dangerous , but its uses are circumscribed . Rience ’s power is erratic and difficult to control even at the best of time , and there is little to no diplomacy in the manner he fights . This would make it relatively well-fixed for a full - blown mage who knows what they ’re about to defeat him . Even so , Rience is not someone to be trifled with softly , as he testify in numerous conflict .
6Lydia Van Bredevoort — Vilgefortz’s Assistant
Killed By Triss In The Witcher Season 3
Lydia is aWitchercharacter who is somewhat difficult to get a read on , but her fight with Yennefer and Triss in season 3 provides enough of a glimpse of her power to give her a ranking . During this fighting , Lydia claims that Vilgefortz gave her " power beyond power , " and for a moment , it look to be true . Lydia put Yennefer in a magic stranglehold before the sorceress can even turn around , which is impressive weigh how powerful Yennefer is .
Lydia communicate telepathically afterThe Witcherseason 2 because she is no longer capable of coherent speech after she near died investigating a vial of Ciri ’s origin .
However , Lydia caught Yennefer by surprisal , so this coming upon does n’t necessarily incriminate that she ’s warm than Yen . Further , Triss speedily mortify Lydia when she arrive , allowing Yennefer to vote out Vilgefortz ’s assistant with a effortless flick of her radiocarpal joint . With that in mind , it seems Lydia exaggerated the amount of power given to her by Vilgefortz . Still , she is a serious threat and has a much broader magical range than Rience , making her one of the more herculean villain inThe Witcher .
Based on the novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski and the video games, The Witcher follows the story of Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter who struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. “Ciri” Cirilla is the Princess of Cintra, who has magical abilities and whose fate has been linked to Geralt’s. Yennefer of Vengerberg, a sorceress who trains to become a mage before deserting her duties and going solo, is also a main character in the Netflix series. The show’s storylines are intertwined but told throughout different timelines, all of which eventually catch up to Ciri’s, whose timeline of events is the most recent. Set on the Continent where men, monsters, and elves exist together, the characters all have separate journeys, though their destinies bring them into each others' orbits.
5Stregobor — Kovirian Mage
Sacrifices Himself At The Thanned Coup
Stregobor is one ofThe Witcher ’s more repugnant characters , but the imposing ritual killing he makes during the coup of Thanned inThe Witcherseason 3 show that he is one of the most powerful fiber on the show .

Stregobor also demonstrates his mightiness on several other occasions , includingThe Witcher ’s first episode , which depicts the masterful illusion in his tugboat in Blaviken .
While Stregobor is emphatically one of the more powerful characters inThe Witcher , his expanse of expertness is delusion , which do him less powerful than someone like Vilgefortz . Stregobor has a hatful more range and total ability than Rience , and he seems to have more cutting military strength than Lydia , but he ’s not a prognostication like Yennefer , nor is he a smart as a whip evil Einstein like Vilgefortz . Accordingly , Stregobor falls right in the in-between ofThe Witcher ’s scoundrel in terms of power , but he ’s close to the bottom one-half than he is to the top .
4Eredin Bréacc Glas — King Of The Wild Hunt
Former Captain Of Xin’trea’s Army (Show Only)

Still , Eredin becomes the leader of the Wild Hunt , which imply that he must be pretty powerful in one mode or another .
Unfortunately , it ’s unmanageable to judge how hefty Netflix ’s translation of Eredin is compare to his book vis-a-vis because he has hardly appeared thus far . Despite his relative helplessness inBlood Origin , it ’s safe to look him to be moderately muscular once he produce a more important show in the primary series . So far , he has only been seen in spiritual form , which manifestly makes him comparatively easy to deal with , believe Geralt scares him off with a single casting of aard . If Eredin ever manage to physically enter Geralt ’s celestial sphere , the titular witcher will have his handwriting full .
3Voleth Meir — Demon From Another Sphere

The Witcher ’s creators let out that Voleth Meir is in fact a dark elf and a part of the Wild Hunt in Netflix ’s canyon .
However , Voleth Meir has a few primal weaknesses that prevent it from have the top post . Firstly , Voleth Meir is from another sphere and can only live in Geralt and Ciri ’s sphere with a vas to contain it , which apparently restricts the ogre significantly . Second , the most telling display of power that Voleth Meir demonstrates are actually a upshot of Ciri ’s ability , which it controls through her . That being said , Voleth Meir may not beThe Witcher ’s most brawny villain , but it ’s easy one of the greatest threats in the show ’s canyon .
