11-Branko's specific role, whether he is a quest giver, a recurring companion, an antagonist, or a minor NPC, has not been disclosed.

11+Branko is a Slavic name. By naming convention, that suggests a character drawn from the Northern Kingdoms cultural region of the setting rather than Nilfgaard or Skellige, both of which use distinct naming patterns. The Witcher IV is set in Kovir, a northern realm of the setting, so a Northern-Kingdoms-coded character would be at home there. This is an inference from naming, not a CDPR statement about the character's origin.
