Inajira is a fiend, an arcanaloth from Gehenna in the Lower Planes, called into the mortal world by Count Strahd von Zarovich. He is a collector who deals in souls.[1]

From this fiend, individuals can be granted in this life their heart's desires. In exchange, Inajira is granted proprietorship in the existence to follow over their immortal souls.[2] Individuals entering into such a contract sooner or later come to regret it. One does not get the better of Inajira. He is not deceived, rather it is he who deceives.[1]

Inajira despises Count Strahd von Zarovich who has, so far, evaded the enforcement of the contract that binds them.[1] Judging by Azalin's comments, Inajira and Azalin hold no love for each other either.[3]

Inajira first came to Ravenloft as a result of the events concluding the Grand Conjunction.[1] During these final events, the Demiplane of Dread burst open to let all of its prisoners free onto the Prime Material Plane.[4] Strahd traveled to the Prime Material Plane version of Barovia. This gave Inajira the opportunity to both wreak horrible revenge upon Strahd.In addition, Inajira hoped to retrieve the Book of Keeping (see below) that Strahd had conned Inajira into lending him.[1] (Without his Book of Keeping, Inajira was an exile from his home in Gehenna.[5] To this end, n 

Additionally, Inajira's Book of Keeping, where his contracts are signed in blood, was destroyed in a confrontation with the lord of Barovia. Since Inajira has busied himself with filling the pages of its replacement.

Inajira masquerades as a mortal, being able to maintain a given facade for but a year or two. He dwells invariably in Barovia or its surrounding domains. Presently, he passes himself for as a magistrate and an amateur alchemist in Teufeldorf where he occupies an unwelcoming manor that is furnished principally with with old books and arcana paraphernalia.

The name of this fiend is sometimes recorded as Ijrail or Inraji.[3]
