Zemek was a orphan child who went missing in Crookback Bog.
Biography
Zemek was orphaned at a young age during the Nilfgaardian invasion of Velen. Like many children in the surrounding area, him and his brother Genny ended up living under Gran's care at the orphanage in Crookback Bog.
Prior to May 1272, Zemek went missing from the orphanage. According to Genny, Gran cried a lot after the event, and told the other children that Zemek wandered out into the woods and got lost.
Notes
- It's possible that Zemek was taken by the Crones to Aard Cerbin and killed, a fate which all of the orphanage's children meet if the Ghost in the Tree is destroyed.
