Nivellen, a character from The Witcher, had a complex relationship with his father growing up. His father was a stern figure who never seemed to approve of Nivellen's actions. This strained relationship led Nivellen to take drastic measures to earn his father's approval. When his father hired Geralt to clear their woods of a wyvern infestation, Nivellen attempted to kill one of the creatures himself. Unfortunately, he fell into the wyvern's lair. Geralt saved Nivellen and killed the wyvern, then handed the creature's head to Nivellen, allowing him to take credit for the kill. This was the first and last time Nivellen's father was proud of him. Later in life, Nivellen was cursed due to his own misdeeds, leading to a life of isolation.
