Abstract
In Lifting of Characters and Harish-Chandra’s Method of Descent [1] we discussed lifting of characters from endoscopic groups in terms which we need for Arthur's conjectures [4]. This paper is an expository version of [1], written with some important special cases in mind and illustrated by numerous examples. We refer the reader to the introduction to [1] for motivation; here we limit ourselves to a summary of some essential points and a discussion of how this paper differs from [1].
