Mousesack
From Witcher Wiki
Mousesack (Polish: Myszowór) is a skilled and intelligent druid, and also a good friend and advisor to King Bran of Skellige, as well as of Queen Calanthe of Cintra. He has a thickset and robust appearance and wears a bushy beard.
Mousesack appears in the following short stories: "A Question of Price", "Miecz przeznaczenia", "Coś więcej" and "Coś się kończy, coś się zaczyna" (non-canon).

[edit] In the graphic novels
Mousesack was the son of Manissa, a witch in the service of Fregenal, who was killed in self-defense by Korin (the future father of Geralt). Mousesack's father left Manissa when he was a small child. Not knowing that the warrior killed his mother, the young Mousesack befriended Korin and the druid Visenna, who took him to the druid circle of Mayena ("Droga bez powrotu").
Even though, due to the plots of mages and the king, the Mayena Circle was destroyed, Mousesack and two older druids were invited by the king to a witcher tournament which was to take place on a special arena. When the tournament turned into a massacre of witchers of the Wolf School, Mousesack helped Geralt, his childhood friend, escape ("Zdrada").
Mousesack was opposed to the arguments of Eltibald and Stregobor during a council of wizards in which he took part, when they argued to consider the children born in the year of the Black Sun monsters ("Mniejsze zło").
Even though Mousesack appears in three out of six graphic novels by Maciej Parowski and Bogusław Polch, none of them was actually based on a short story in which he appeared (two of them were based on other short stories, while one was a story original to the comic). In his graphic novel appearances, he is younger than in the short stories he features in, and does not yet have his beard. No ties with Skellige are also mentioned, although it is possible that he moved to Skellige after the destruction of the Mayena Circle.
[edit] In The Hexer TV series
In the series, Mousesack appears in the episodes "Calanthe" and "Rozdroże", played by actor Aleksander Bednarz.
[edit] In The Witcher computer game
Mousesack doesn't make an appearance, but he is mentioned by the Hierophant in the Druids' Grove in Act III. The Hierophant tells Geralt that he knows the witcher via one of his poker partners, their "mutual friend, Mousesack."
