The King of West Algarve was an Algarvian puppet-ruler who ruled the western portions of the defunct kingdom of Algarve following the end of the Derlavaian War. He was a fat nobleman. 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.
