Alexander Morton, the voice of Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has died. The official The Witcher account posted the notice on Bluesky on Apr. 17 at 14:00 UTC. The r/Games post was created less than a minute later and had 2,372 score with 27 comments at crawl time.
The notice did not list a cause of death or additional biographical details. It identified Morton through the role most visible to game players: Zoltan Chivay, the dwarf friend and recurring ally across CD Projekt's RPG adaptations. The message thanked him for bringing Zoltan to life and directed condolences to his family and friends.
Why the role matters to players
Zoltan is not a side detail for many Witcher players. He appears across major quests and quieter city scenes, giving the games a familiar voice outside Geralt's main path. Morton's performance helped define that version of the character for players who met Zoltan through The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 rather than through Andrzej Sapkowski's books.
Reddit reaction centered on the performance rather than speculation. Top comments called out Morton's voice, his delivery as Zoltan, and other work that fans associated with him. With no further details in the source post, the useful takeaway is narrow and factual: CD Projekt's The Witcher channel has marked his death, and players are responding through the character he voiced.
