Netflix has confirmed the participation of Norwegian actor Kristofer Hivju in the second season of The Witcher . The re-enactor of T ormund Giantsbane from Game of Thrones will play Nivellen , the bandit leader who, after committing a rape on the priestess of the Lionhead Spider Cult, has been turned into a monster . The curse made him look like a humanoid bear .
Andrzej Sapkowski described his appearance as follows:
The creature was humanoid, dressed in shabby but good-quality clothing, not without tasteful if completely non-functional embellishments. The human-like shape, however, was no higher than the dirty caftan collar – above it rose a huge, hairy, bear-like head with huge ears, a pair of wild eyes, and a terrifying maw full of crooked fangs in which, like a flame, a red tongue flickered.
Last Wish , Andrzej Sapkowski
The actor will only play in the first episode opening the second season of The Witcher .
