Eskel

Eskel is a major supporting character in The Witcher franchise.
He is a witcher from the school of the wolf, one of Vesemir's students and a contemporary of Geralt who became friends even though he is not as famous as his friend. After Vesemir's death, Eskel, often in Kear Morhen, decided to leave permanently and go to the Lower March.
He was voiced by Tom Clarke Hill.
==Appearance==
===Books===
Eskel's general appearance is not given any detailed information in the books, the only description of his appearance is that he closely resembled Geralt, only that he had a different hair color. Eskel's most distinctive feature was his long facial scar that stretched from the corner of his mouth to his ear, disfiguring his cheek.
===Video games===
When it comes to Eskel's appearance in the first game, many things from the description of her appearance have been retained, such as the large scar on her face and the silhouette of each witcher. However, his scar is on the right side of his face, it is disfigured, it is purple-burgundy in color, it is close to his right eye and he has dark hair. He wears a brown dusty jacket with short sleeves, brown trousers and shoes.
In the third part, Eskel has a dark and long scar on the right side of his face, but the color has changed from purple-burgundy to blue, which makes him look like lightning. He is now wearing a red leather jacket with spiked spikes, a gray shirt with rolled up sleeves, short brown fingerless gloves, black pants with knee pads, and brown boots.

===Witcher===
The calm and reasonable witcher is my peer. We are similar in many ways and people often think we are brothers.
===The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt===
All witchers have a great deal in common, but with Eskel and Geralt, the similarities are particularly striking. They first met as two boys of the same age swinging wooden swords at Kaer Morhen. They then went though an ordeal together: the first round of selections, the murderous Changes, the Trial of the Grasses, and training on the Gauntlet - the witchers' daunting obstacle course. They also received hidings together for more than one act of childish delinquency. When they became adults, they walked the Path separately, but still reconvened at Kaer Morhen nearly every winter to wait out the cold, drink to their successes and remember fallen comrades.
Though Eskel never gained Geralt's renown, he equaled the White Wolf in experience and carried out his contracts with care and efficiency. Death had almost taken him many times during his hunts, yet in an ironic twist the hideous scar on his face came not from a monster claw but from the blade of Deidre Ademeyn, his highly unpredictable Unexpected Child.
Perhaps this traumatic experience lay at the root of Eskel's dislike for Yennefer, though he tried not to let this get in the way of friendship with Geralt.
Eskel took active part in the defense of Kaer Morhen, standing bravely in the face of overwhelming odds to fight one of the Hunt's generals. When Vesemir died, he took over responsibility for watching over the witchers' keep.
