Ingalther is a Baron of Vlandia and the leader of the clan dey Cortain. He is the ruler of Charas, the husband of Elbet, and the father of Mitela, Amalgun, Arthamund, and Asela.
He seized his estate from a much older illegitimate half-brother. His ambition and sense of entitlement is extreme even by Vlandian standards. He has a dynastic claim to Arromanc lands, and has been pressing Derthert to disinherit Calatild and award her lands to him. Derthert has of course refused, as this would both start a war with the Arromancs and make Ingalther twice as powerful as the king, but Ingalther nonetheless greatly resents him for it. Ingalther keeps close ties with the Free Company, a notoriously rapacious band of mercenaries whose seaside castle lies near his domains.
According to his Personality Traits, he is Closefisted (Generosity -1), Honest (Honor 1), Daring (Valor 1), Cruel (Mercy -1) and Calculating (Calculating 1). He has the reputation of being pitiless.
As with all noblemen and women, his Armor, Weapons, Perks, Friends, Enemies, and Attribute Points are all randomized at the beginning of the game.

Quotes[]
| “ | I was there. I was just a young squire then.
I have heard no sweeter music than the thunder of our hooves as we bore down on the Aserai rabble. We fell on them like a falcon plunges upon a rabbit. They had overextended themselves, chasing the imperial archers. Light foot before our Knights, there was no contest. Let me tell you something, nine-tenths of victory is recognizing when your enemy has made a mistake. The rash perish as swiftly as the weak, and deserve it just as much. We should have gone on to seize all of the Western Empire. If Derthert had any manhood, we'd have done so. But his heart was never in the war. He believed he's broken his oath to the Empire by helping the Sturgians, and it gnawed at him. He'd have made a fine lackey. Instead he's our king. |

Trivia[]
- Ingalther's clan name derives from **"Cortain"**, the sword of the legendary knight Ogier the Dane, who rebelled against Charlemagne. His ruthless personality and ambitious attitude towards King Derthert are inspired by the sadistic and rebellious Norman baron Robert de Bellême.[1]
