Ishir

 is a katari innkeeper and the owner of the Spire by Fire Inn in Jrusar since 833 PD. As an NPC,  is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Ishir is a male katari of lion descent, with orange-brown fur and a dark black mane that is braided tightly and goes past his shoulders. He has sharp, heavy canines. When first seen, he was wearing a tank top that showed off his well-built physique.

Personality
Ishir seems focused on earning money and running his business. Ashton was able to immediately get his attention by noisily sliding some coins down the bar. When complimented by FCG about the inn, he reacted with great pride, noting that no one seemed to appreciate the hard work he'd put into the place, and it was nice to get a little acknowledgement from a stranger. While he was willing to keep an ear open for a job for Ashton, he was also brusque about asking him to finish his beer and clear the table before more paying customers started arriving.

When Ashton ordered a breakfast beer, Ishir drank one too, to be sociable. Ishir was completely enthralled by FCG and his ability to eat coins and offered him a job performing the trick for the customers, and tapped his metal head with fascination, an act which Ashton found slightly rude.

When Dorian approached him about playing in the bar, he quickly changed from smiling politeness to a "fucking musician" kind of a glare, but gave him permission to set up by the door, as it would be quicker to kick him out if it didn't go well.
