After the death of Renfri , which occurs in the account book in much the same mode it does in the show , Stregobor goes home to Kovir and is never heard from again . He is not noted to be one of the attending mages at the coup on Thanned , which get it fairly likely that he ’s still live at the end of the Koran , especially count the long life of mages .

3Rience — Mage In The Service Of Vilgefortz
Rience is an easily repugnant character inThe Witchershow and books , but his death vary between the two canon . InThe Witcherseason 3,Rience tracks down Ciri and Yennefer in the mint near Thanned , only to be behead from behind by Geraltwhen he arrives to preserve them . Rience ’s abrupt ending inThe Witcheris not all scandalous , but it does leave the show in need of a new partner in crime for Vilgefortz .
In the book , Rience stays in the game for much longer , hunt Ciri unrelentingly across the continent .

Ciri is favorable enough to have a couple of ice skate , which she uses to slide through the mist , cutting down Rience ’s humanity and leave the mage himself to swim in the glacial H2O .
The view on the flash-frozen lake is still extremely likely to go on inThe WitcherTV show , even with Rience being killed prematurely .
2Filavandrel — Former Leader Of The Free Elves
Filavandrel , the former leader of the Free Elves , dies saving Francesca ’s life inThe Witcherseason 3 . Jumping heroically in front of a magical flack thrown by Tissaia , he is eviscerated as soon as the attempt touches him . Filavandrel is a much unlike character in the book serial publication , which does not include a romance between him and Francesca . This makes it unconvincing that the Scripture ' Filavandrel would have die in this means , even if he was at Thanned during the coup .
In the book serial publication , Filavandrel is not present at the Thanned takeover , and he only suffer with Francesca once the coup has been completed and the elves have been granted nation by Nilfgaard . While he ends up bring together Francesca , they never have a romance , and neither one of them diesbefore the destruction of the serial publication .

Artorius is pour down in the show by his niece , who ruthlessly sends a obelisk into his heart when he threatens to pop Francesca . Artorius was not precisely an altruistic character inThe Witcher , butbeing mangle by his own niece seems harsh than he probably deserve , even if he was a poor uncle .
In the books , Artorius is mentioned for his impressive illusional legerdemain in Toussaint , but he never actually appears on - Thomas Nelson Page . His inclusion in the show was in all likelihood meant to help build Fringilla ’s reference , and it ’s possible that Fringilla kill her uncle has been a planned part of her arc since the start . Regardless , since Artorius has no serious contributions to the story inThe Witcherbooks , his untimely death should n’t have an wallop on the show ’s ability to faithfully adjust the books .
