Vrinday Kayu is a mage hired by Crookshank to kill his diggers—she puts poison in their soup— and spell the guards so they won't talk. She was born around 206 HE and is probably of Copper Isles descent, as her name comes from the isles. Not much of her life is known. In the service of Crookshank she also disguises of a maid to keep an eye on his granddaughter-in-law, Tansy Lofts, when she leaves the house. She is arrested on May 10, 246 HE and commits suicide in the prison.
