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 killedInza's father before Magda gave birth, and Magda doted on her daughter, mostly blind to her sinister nature.[8]
In her younger years, Inza enlisted Piotr, only a year older, in her larceny and manipulation of gorgios. They both mocked another Vistani child, Nikolas, for his kindness towards the gorgio]]s. Despite their shared activities, Inza's heart had a vile cruelness that Piotr's lacked.[9] Inza had an innate hatred that originated from fear, as beasts seemed to her quite able of seeing through her veneer of innocence.[10] Inza's acted out her hatred through the torture and killing of animals, even her family's own pets, always on the sly, without Piotor's knowledge. Although Madga was the corrupting influence on Piotr, Madga perceived their friendship to be the exact opposite.[9] Regardless, their friendship ended in 746 BC when she not only allowed a riled up mob at the Veidrava Salt Mines brutally beat Nikolas but pinned the blame for the inaction on Piotyr.[11]
As Inza grew, she achieve proficiency as both a rogue and a wizard. She obtained training for the former through manipulation and temptation of her fellow Vistana. How she came upon knowledge for the latter is unknown. By the age of 16, Inza's depredations had alienated all of the other Wanderers form her save for her mother.[8]
By 752 BC, the Wanderers had unwittingly stumbled into Sithicus. Lord Soth trapped them in that domain, though Magda arranged a deal for his protection in return for the tribe swearing an oath never to tell his origins again. Shortly thereafter, Inza began hatching a conspiracy with Azrael Dak and, through him, Malocchio Aderre.
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.
