From the game's encyclopedia
Inspired Characters are skilled artisans with a Project that could come true if you become their Sponsor.
You can use the Commission Artifact Decision to hire such a Character, in order ot create an Artifact.
In addition, Inspired Characters periodically appear in Royal Courts, especially those with a high Court Grandeur Level.
When their Project is complete, the Sponsor gets to keep the result, normally an Artifact.
