Lars Jindrift

Lars Jindrift was an "adventurer" who was using Seven Ruins Island in the Rivan Sea of southern Genabackis as a safe haven. Since the island catered mainly to corsair vessels, pirate ships, and similar local shipping, it also attracted other unsavory sorts - such as Lars Jindrift. Lars' most recent reason for needing to lie low had been for not only physically forcing himself upon an unwilling young woman, but also for trying to silence her permanently when she yelled for help. Lars felt very aggrieved at the "minx" for unexpectedly managing to survive his despicable mistreatment of herDeadhouse Landing, Chapter 12, US TPB p.243 - which had led to Lars having to flee - to Seven Ruins Island, as it happened. Lars thought that this outcome was entirely the fault of the young woman.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 7, US TPB p.142
==In Deadhouse Landing==
Lars Jindrift, while drinking in Funal's tavern, the "Full Sail", on the island, got involved in a deadly free-for-all amongst the other customers - who were all fighting to get their hands on a fortune in precious gems which had been offered by a stranger as payment for transport off of the island. Everyone involved came to grief except for Lars and the stranger. The adventurer, being the last left standing, collected all of the stranger's rubies, emeralds and sapphires, as well as stopping to help himself to the dying Funal's cashbox.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 7, US TPB p.143-145
Lars Jindrift then assisted the stranger in finding the transport off the island that the stranger had been looking for, recommending the corsair vessel, the Tempest, because it was - in Lars' opinion - the most seaworthy. Escorting the stranger down to the harbor where the Tempest was anchored, Lars asked him where he wished to be taken to. The stranger told Lars that he wanted to go to the west - as he could tell that "something" had occurred in that direction. Lars also learned that the stranger's name was Kallor, which, as it happened, meant nothing to Lars. Thus, the adventurer and Kallor - after making arrangements with the Captain of the Tempest - set sail aboard the corsair vessel heading westward.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 7, US TPB p.145-146
Lars then had to experience a very long, eventful voyage - short on food and water - westward across the ocean aboard the Tempest. Lars managed to live through an attempted mutiny by the corsair crew;Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 8, US TPB p.161-165 as well as an encounter with a hostile Meckros floating city.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 12, US TPB p.244-247 Eventually, Lars, Kallor and a pitiful handful of surviving Tempest crew members arrived at the southern coast of Malaz Island - which proved to be Kallor's ultimate destination.Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 17, US TPB p.326-327Deadhouse Landing, Chapter 18, US TPB p.356-358
