Kirbir (aka Khabir) is the husband of Welcome Inn hostess Janna Jamil, and lives at the Welcome Inn. He jealously watches his wife constantly to make sure she does no more than flirt. The Hero is told about Khabir, and given his name by Amulet Merchant.[1]

He occasionally stays up all night helping his wife prepare meals for the following day.

Janna also will talk about about her husband if the Hero flirts too much, she refers to him as Kirbir.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

The name Kirbir does exist (as both a first and surname), although its meaning is not clear. In one language, the language of the Nganasan people (of Siberia) it means 'tamga' or seal/emblem of the tribe. Although this is not likely not the source of the name. The name does appear to have connections to Pakistan India, Somalia, and a few other Arabic influenced countries. In India it may have been the name of a demon.[3][4]

Khabir (a variant spelling of Kabir) means 'great' or 'history' in Arabic.[5] Kirbir may be yet another variant spelling of "Kabir".
