Inge Six Fingers
Inge Six Fingers is an elderly bard and the Dean of Lute at the Bards College in Solitude. When class is dismissed and most of the teachers and bards head for the local tavern, Inge instead heads straight down to her quarters and goes to bed.
As a teacher she is strict and to the point, a behavior reflected in her greetings:
"I'm Dean of Lute at the Bards College, and no, I don't give private lessons."
"It takes two things to be a good teacher. The first is patience. The second is a firm wooden stick for rapping knuckles."
"Only reason I'm so good with a lute is because I'm old. It takes a lifetime to master." If you haven't joined the college yet, she will also tell you not to bother:
"You here to apply at the Bards College? Well don't bother - you're too damned old. Start past four, and it's all wasted effort." Her goodbyes:
"We're done then? Good."
"Glad that distraction's over..."

She wears a set of farmers clothes and a pair of boots. She carries the key to the college and a selection of upper-class items and gold.
