Ian Cribs was the director of Music at the Old Quarter Opera House and was hired by Lady Valerius after she took over the Opera house from Raoul,[1] He sees not only to the overall direction of the musical performers and the performances,[2] but also wrote the libretto and music for various Operatic productions,[3]. His work, however, doesn't appear to have much of a fan base among either Actors or Nobles.[4][5]
The silver flute given to Cribs.
He was given a Silver Flute by Valerius as a gift as a token of their 'special friendship' which he cherished, but had to store it at the Opera House in a wall safe, and gave Valerius the key until he recovered.[6] Valerius trusted him enough with the information of the Water Talisman and believed his music would work with it to grant her great powers.[7]

- Garrett visited the Opera House in search of the Talisman of Water after it had been stolen by lady Valerius. Trough this time Ian had taken ill because of a furuncle (an other name for a boil) and was not on active duty around that time.
- While Cribs is described as house bound, there is an interim director filling in in his quarters, directing a leading lady in Cribs's latest work.[8] It is possible, however, that it might be Cribs himself, having recovered from his furuncle, but not having taken back his key.
- Cribs and his music may be another Thief Gold hint towards the coming of te Mechanists and The Metal Age, as his works are noted to have a strong stance of man overcoming nature.[5]
