Type of Appearance: Contemporary references, unnamed
Nationality: Algarve, later West Algarve
Occupation: Nobleman, soldier, later Monarch of West Algarve

The King of West Algarve was a fat Algarvian nobleman who became Unkerlant's puppet, ruling the western portions of the defeated kingdom following the end of the Derlavaian War. Though he was known to have had his differences with King Mezentio, he had served his kingdom in the war, and thus it was hoped that he would be seen as acceptable to Algarvian patriots. However, he was viewed by many as a traitor for his willingness to cooperate with Algarve's enemy, King Swemmel of Unkerlant.

This king was not Swemmel's first choice to govern West Algarve. The Unkerlanters had previously approached a number of other candidates with similar qualifications, including Colonel the Count Sabrino, who had refused to cooperate with his country's enemies, and a second man who had declined the throne when he made it clear that he would attempt to exercise more independence as king than the Unkerlanters cared to give him.
