- Indir is a Fossegrim.
- He had a lover, who at one point started suspecting that he was using his alluring magic to keep her enthralled. This wasn't true, his feelings for her were genuine, but it didn't stop her from starting a huge fight, which ended in her shooting him with a poisoned arrow, and fleeing.
- In constant pain, Indir couldn't concentrate on his craft, causing his music to be discordant. The patrons of the tavern he worked in were unhappy, and succumbing to pressure, he eventually damaged his violin by accident. This did not help his case, and he was kicked out, while his instrument was broken even further.
- To drown his sorrows, he started drinking profusely. People started avoiding him, especially when rumours were spread about him by his ex-lover.
