Ingrid Blackvale

Ingrid Blackvale was a warlock specializing in ordered cold dark magic - especially bodily affliction and mind control. She was the maternal great-grandmother of Bastion and Adrian and a contemporary of Vivian Gray, Vladimir Vectorvale, Santiago Sandoval, Alistair Wilmington, Seamus Fitzroy, and Waldemar Sherwin III.

Like a typical Blackvale, Ingrid was rather petite and physically frail. She more than made up for this as a duelist, however, and passed the arena phrase "Die, dear!" down to her daughter, granddaughter, and, eventually, great-grandson Adrian.

Ingrid was thought to have assisted Vivian Gray in developing some of her bodily alternation spells, though more traditionalist members of the Blackvale family deny this.
