	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.<ref name="Gaz IV p. 156">Gaz IV p. 156</ref>		Inza's dark mindset manifested early on, perhaps even from birth.

	As Inza grew, she achieved 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.<ref name="Gaz IV p. 156">Gaz IV p. 156</ref>		As Inza grew, she achieved proficiency as both a [[rogue]] and a [[wizard]].

	In [[752 BC]], Inza hatched a [[conspiracy]] with [[Azrael Dak]] and, through him, [[Malocchio Aderre]], [[the Dukkar\|the Vistani people's worst enemy]]. Their conspiracy would mean the death of both Lord Soth and Magda Kulchevich. Inza would replace her mother as [[raunie]] of her clan, ~~and~~ Azrael would usurp control of Sithicus from Soth. Malocchio would gain an ally sympathetic to his plans of [[genocide]] for the Vistani.<ref name="Gaz IV p. 153, 157">Gaz IV p. 153, 157</ref>		In [[752 BC]], Inza hatched a [[conspiracy]] with [[Azrael Dak]], and through him with [[Malocchio Aderre]], [[the Dukkar\|the Vistani people's worst enemy]].

	After Azrael Dak entered collusion with Malocchio, he received the magical [[dagger]], [[Novgor]]. Inza arranged a trade with Dak, receiving the dagger in return for a rare [[stone giant]] [[slave]] named [[Nabon]]. Using Gard, [[Inza]] had previously [[ambushed]], [[captured]], and [[maimed\|rendered unable to walk]] the giant unawares.

Using Gard, [[Inza]] had previously [[ambushed]], [[captured]], and [[maimed\|rendered unable to walk]] the giant unawares.

			Allying with a fellow Wanderer named [[Bratu]] under the auspices of profiting off of gorgios, Inza broke the oath that the tribe - through Magda - had made with Soth. She attempted to leak Soth's [[past]] to the [[Invidian]] [[spy]] named [[Gesmas Malaturno]], although the latter was captured before he could give the information to Malocchio. Like earlier with Piotr, Inza manipulated events so that only Bratu received the blame. Magda [[marked]] him as an [[Oath Breaker]].

	With the help of Azrael, Inza orchestrated the ambush of her tribe by [[salt shadows]]<ref name="Gaz IV p. 153, 157">Gaz IV p. 153, 157</ref>, with the specific intent of destroying Magda.<ref name="SotBR p. 64-66">SotBR p. 66-66</ref> As part of the preparation, Using Norvgor, Inza [[sabotaged]] [[Gard]], the powerful magical cudgel carried in the ancient past by Kulchek the Wanderer and then present by Magda Kulchevich.

Unaware of its previous sabotage, Magda attacked the shadows with Gard. However, it shattered during combat, thus ensuring that Magda became mortally wounded. [[Sabak]] was [[possessed]] by a shadow, but Inza put him down using Norvgor. Before Magda perished, she called upon Soth and exchanged an oath of protection for her daughter for the removal of Madame Girani's curse upon the death knight. With Magda's death, Inza claimed not only Soth's protection but also leadership of the tribe. However, Inza experienced one setback: Bratu had fled during the skirmish, hearing the clarion call of the Whispering Beast.<ref name="SotBR p. 123-130">SotBR p. 123-130</ref>

	Now in charge of the Wanderers, Inza commanded the pursuit of Bratu. On his trail, the Wanderers came upon and [[captured]] [[Ganelon]]. With the aid of [[Alexi]], Inza [[interrogated]] Ganelon about what he knew about Bratu and the way to [[the Lair of the Whispering Beast]]. Although Inza resorted to [[deception]] and [[torture]], Ganelon remained steadfast in an [[oath]] he made to [[the Bloody Cobbler]] to not reveal the lair's location. The Whispering Beast eventually [[liberated]] Ganelon from Inza's clutches.
