Introduced in the novel Spectre of the Black Rose, Inza Magdova Kulchevich is the current darklord of Sithicus, replacing Lord Soth.[1][2] She is a Vistana, the daughter of Magda Kulchevich[3], the great granddaughter of Madame Girani, and a descendant of the legendary vistana Kulchek the Wanderer. She wields his potent magic dagger Novgor, with which sabotaged her mother's cudgel Gard[4][5] and precipitated her death.[6][5]

History

Magda gave birth to Inza in Gundarak in 736 BC on the night of Duke Gundar]'s assassination. The storm that hit that night cause Gundarak to tremble, almost as if to lash out for Gundar's death[7][8] and touch new-born Inza's soul.[7] Inza's dark mindset manifested early on, perhaps even from birth. In childhood, her rampant stealing and standoffish ways made life difficult for Magda's patchwork tribe, the Wanderers. Yet her behavior went uncorrected. Gundar's thugs had killed Inza's father before Magda gave birth, and Magda doted on her daughter, mostly blind to her sinister nature.[8]

On Inza's Form

Inza is apparently so cursed that her true form is that of a shadow:

nza's beauty hides a heart of darkness, however. Although she prefers to maintain her human form whenever possible, her true form is a seething, formless wave of semi-liquid shadow. All that remains of Inza are her bright green eyes, glinting out from the darkness. lnza must focus to retain her humanity. She visibly darkens when angered, and her blood is inky black. -- Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume IV, p156
