The woman was part of Coram Agh Tera - also known as the Cult of the Lionhead Spider - and she cursed Nivellen to be a “monster in a man’s skin.” He would soon thereafter become a monster outwardly, while still staying himself.

His younger days were spent as a gang member in Redania, where he was coerced into raping a young priestess while his partners robbed the temple of Gelibol. Nivellen is a cursed man who appears in The Last Wish story and will be played by Game of Thrones’ Kristofer Hivju in the Netflix series’ second season. It has been confirmed that Agnes Bjorn will play her. In The Last Wish story, Geralt has to deal with the Bruxa Vareena at Nivellen’s Manor, which we know will be featured in this season. Bruxae appear in both The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine expansion. They are incredibly fast and often appear as attractive women to lure unsuspecting men to their doom so they can drink their blood.

The Bruxa is a type of vampire that can take the form of both a dark-haired human and a large bat.
