History

Background

Ingrid is a Hell Knight, part of an order of knights which watch over the demon realm, and a noble Demon.

One of the strongest Hell Knight and served the 9 Noble Demon Families, she was known as the Hell Knight with the strongest offensive force and was the leader of the Black Dragon Order of the Hell Knights, one of 12 Orders, which make up their organization. At some point, Ingrid also obtained/sealed the power of the Black Dragon "Grenier" within herself, though using this power burns her soul, it grants her power far beyond others. She is known as the savior of Greenfort Village and together with the Lina has defeated the Hydra. As a Hell Knight, she had many rivals and friends but in the end none of this mattered, as she became bothered by the current state of the Knights and encountered Edwin Black.

Ingrid fell in love with Edwin Black and abandoned her post in the Dark World, to serve him in the Human World. As Black's knight and secretary, she served him for an unknown amount of time, and he trusts Ingrid fully. While Edwin Black never appears at corporate meetings, it is Ingrid that acts as the president's deputy secretary of Nomad.

Visual Novels

When Kiryu Sabato became the owner of a new Chaos Arena and presumingly leaked the location as a trap for the Taimanin Murasaki, this only served his own agenda and not allowed by Nomad. In the year 2075, it was Ingrid that helped to knock the Taimanin out, when she arrived with Black, though the help came with a high cost for Sabato. Ingrid voiced strong concern about Sabato's loyalty to Black from the start, and suspecting that Sabato worked against Nomad's interest. She gathers slowly information, taking away his science staff at some point. Learning too late that Sabato sold data to Dragon Gate, she stormed the Chaos Arena. Sakura and Murasaki on the stage, but Sabato that was scheming all along, fuses with Murasaki and fought Ingrid, on equal ground. In the chaos and panic of the audience, Sabato, Murasaki and Sakura were able to escape, leaving Ingrid behind.

Though a "what if" shows her captured, canon wise she escaped without any issue afterwards.

In Taimanin Asagi 3, year 2082, Ingrid is seen again fighting against the Masked Taimanin in America (UFS). Ingrid later returns to Japan and saves both Fürst and Oboro, who failed in a plan to capture Asagi at Gosha Academy. Both Murasaki and Asagi cross blades with Ingrid but as the Nomad members are at a disadvantage they escape for now, taking Asagi's then boyfriend, Kosuke as a hostage. Ingrid voices her dislike for Oboro and Fürst's tactics and abilities, a conflict they seemingly had for a long time that at that point further escalated in secret.

Ingrid is kidnapped by Oboro, that together with Fürst turned her into a hypnotic slave, as they wish to obtain her position. Losing her virginity in the process, she was mentally controlled by Oboro, to have a direct line to Edwin Black. Oboro humiliating her, by implanting the idea that a hell knight's duty is that one of a prostitute. Under Oboro's control she suggests to Edwin Black, that Murasaki and Sakura shouldn't be turned into demons but to be sold as slaves as punishment in the true ending. Which made the saving of Murasaki and Sakura possible, in the Asuka route.

After Oboro's death the contract slave seal, should be, just like with Asagi, void. However, as Edwin Black is dead in the true ending of TA3, and she isn't shown anymore, it is unclear if she would continue to work in Nomad or return to her Hell Knight duties.

Timeline TABA

TA3 events do not take place.

While not present as Fuuma Kotaro (TABA), took the half-dragon Tia, in the year 2082. Ingrid had been blamed for the security error and seems even years after this annoyed by it. She appears to be the main contact of Julia, until Julia was discovered as a secret Nomad assassin in the Fuuma Organization. Ingrid's lore is expanded with Dolores being a distant relative she takes care of. Lina being a Hell Knight trainee that learns under her and Carmela being her rival back in the dark world, as well as other Hell Knights she knew. A power up alternate form is also introduced in "What If" events. Using the power of the dragon "Grenier", that she summoned from the Dark World, Ingrid can become far stronger but also very unhinged. She was present during the capture of Olivia Brew, she intended to kill Olivia but was stopped by Black, who wished to experiment on her.

Ingrid encounters Fuuma Kotaro for the first time in a serious manner in the Neo Chaos Arena, year 2083. Pretty much outclassed by her fighting power, Ingrid was only stopped by being pulled into a lewd dream by the power of Lilim along with the rest of the audience and contestants. Kotaro fled afterwards, Ingrid also had been blamed for the escape of Tia a half dragon, who was meant to help Black with the creation of a gate. Since, then she has been under a lot of stress.

She appears in a minor role during the time Io Orion, having been abandoned by Kotaro as an ally and picked her for Nomad, even feeling some pity for her.

In year 2084, Ingrid takes a bit of a break at one of the beaches not knowing that at the same time, Fuuma Kotaro (TABA) also takes a vacation after he defeated his father. Her blade is stolen by Crackle, who brings it to Kotaro, with Kotaro trying just to get away from trouble. However, as lower members are knocked out and Ingrid herself becomes active, Kotaro takes over the body of a Witch, and as Ingrid encounters him, pretends to be just fortune teller. Ingrid, who seems to be rather superstitious but also views it to unload stress, suddenly becomes very talkative, barely changing the names of the people she complains about. As Kotaro, is unable to move for what feels like hours, Fuuma Tokiko tries to create a distraction in a Nomad base to push Ingrid away. However, as Kotaro starts to talk himself ,and summed up Ingrid's issues, without thinking as he mentioned Ingrid's love for Black and some details that Ingrid technically has not revealed she became suspicious and ready to attack but was forced to back down because of Tokiko's distraction.

In year 2085, Tekkain Kaworu, Valentia and Kia Maleek, work together to take over the Fuuma Organization. Ingrid's rival a fellow Hell Knight Carmella, is drawn in with fake information and fights both the arriving Taimanin Akiyama Rinko, while getting no information from Ingrid's former pupil Lina.

In year 2086, Ingrid defeated Lark Shasha, and warns Kotaro after he killed Fürst, that Black would now act. She states that she is only here to "judge", which she says with a hint of sorrow and tells Kotaro to be prepared if he wishes to protect those he cares for.

Ingrid, fights for Nomad in the final confrontation. As Fuuma Kotaro (TABA) is captured forces of the Taimanin, DSO, demonic allies and Fuuma Organization, storm the hideout. M most higher ups of Nomad encounter enemies with Kaliya fighting Astaroth. However, Ingrid herself faced with her trainee Lina, who had switched side and had become one of the Fuuma 7, one of his strongest units. Regardless of this fact, Ingrid held no ill will and respected Ina's choice to fight for what she believed in. Through, the outcome is never seen, as the world of TABA was facing its reset shortly afterwards. In the Epilogue world, she appears together with Ingrid, both having a bit of vacation time, as they slightly bicker with each other.

Timeline RPGX

TA3 events do not take place. It is expended upon that Ingrid left the Hell Knight's because of an ideological disagreement and corruption past the death of the True Demon King, and Bismarck current rule.

When, Ingrid still worked as the leader of the Black Dragon Order, of the Hell Knights, she was respected by everyone. She is also mentioned as the one that defeated "Grenier" and sealed the dragon in her body. she later on defeats a powerful Hydra as well. Beowulf another Hell Knight is revealed as an old friend of Ingrid and dragon killer. Additional lore is revealed with her being one of the Prime Hell Knights, that became one by an old dangerous ritual, which is not typically used anymore in modern times. Old legends exist in the Greenfort Village about Ingrid and how she saved the place. Edwin Black, also mentioned that he met her here probably the first time but details of this old meeting are currently unknown.

She is also seen back in the days as a member of the Hell Knights, when visiting the Rosemary Territory and encountered Lina for the first time, who became so impressed, she wished to become a hell knight and supported that dream.

When Edwin Black (RPGX), formed Nomad and Zero Nations Group, year 2063, together with Shinganji Sakyo, Ingrid had already joined him. Shinganji Kaede knew of Ingrid, and wished to see Greenfort Village, to learn about Black's close aid and possible love rival. Certain details are currently missing but Ingrid was put in charge of most of Nomad operations with Black acting as the CEO on paper. Ingrid appears as a leading figure of Nomad taking care of the Palace of Darkness in Yomihara, while Edwin Black is away. Leaving guard duty often to her trusted student Lina, she also had moved a family member Dolores to one of her homes in Yomihara to keep an eye on her, worried for her after a family tragedy.

While, Nomad was rather hostile with the Taimanin, their releations had somewhat cooled over the years. Ingrid is seen first together with Oboro, denying the Task Force G agent, Hestia, access to Yomihara. Dismissing, their desire to capture members of the Independent Commando Unit, which had entered the city.

In the year 2084, Ingrid is informed that the Independent Rangers defeated Spider Lady, though she considers opposing them she decides against it. The talk is cut short by a heavy earthquake that hits Yomihara, not long after Lina rushes to Ingrid to report that the Demon Arena was acting strange. The entire geometry of the space had been twisted by gravity. As speculated by Elena, a spacetime quake from the demon gate or other source, had connected this realm with a different reality. Ingrid, Lina and Elena tried to explore the realms, but most seemed to be abandoned of life with unknown technologies. Reaching a number of Llyr and Kanaloa, Ingrid defeated a jellyfish-like being called the Me-duse but the group was unable to find an exit out of the facility or even reach the surface of that realm. Forced, to return, the rift did not close and remained open for the next week. Worse, an unknown fever, started to spread in Yomihara, which made no difference between human or demon and killed both after a while. Lina had fallen sick, and even Ingrid herself was hiding that she came close to her breaking point. Learning from Dolores, which knew about curses, that this was not just a disease but a curse from that other realm, Ingrid assumed the Me-duse had not been killed and returned to that realm to finish it. Ingrid became unexpected help from Igawa Sakura as Sakura had learned from a shopkeeper and the orc Alphonse about the disease, and was told by the fate reading eye of Nadra Vyrol, that Ingrid would require her help to save Yomihara. Sakura sneaked but also got an item from Lina, as suggested by Nadra. At first Ingrid did not trust Sakura, thinking it had been an outside attack but when that Sakura had been given a wallet with multiple pictures of Ingrid, she believed that Lina had agreed to help. Though, she also was very embarrassed, in the end both women were able to work together surprisingly well. When confronted by the "Ghost-Jellyfish Me-duse", they noticed the ability of it to appear and disappear even after getting hit by a deadly attack. Sakura spread a network of shadows around the room, as Ingrid used the power of the dragon, to attack the Jellyfish again and again, as Ingrid's power almost came to an end, Sakura pulled the real Jellyfish out of a 2D space on the ceiling, and Ingrid killed the real one in one blow. Afterward, Sakura carried Ingrid in a secret home, not to look pathetic, as the rift began to close.

She also appeared in other smaller events, like the O-Daiko festival. Even after "Kuroto" (Black) returns, she remains the most in charge of current Nomad. As Black is teleported away by Euryale to the demon realm and walks many month to get back, Ingrid does not know about this and just continues to do her job until his later return.

In the year, 2085, she was asked by Lina for a way to become a real Hell Knight. Though Ingrid, already, viewed her as more than worthy, she mentioned the primordial ritual of the Hell Knights, which required the approval of 3 senior Hell Knights, and a special ritual fight. Ingrid, obviously gave her approval and sent Lina, to her old friend Beowulf and rival Carmella, for the other two endorsements. Lina, in the end was able to finish the test just like Ingrid had in the past.

As she acts as a more balancing force, compared to Fürst or Oboro, Kousaka Shizuru and the Yomihara Neighborhood Association prevent an assassination attempt on her by Bunny K. While Ingrid, ended the life of Bunny K, the next year the women was able to return alive, with a restored sanity.

In the year 2086, Ingrid also battled other assassins like an agent of "G" Ares, and Revenant Knights of the Corpse Lord, but survived thanks to the help of Taimanins and Lina, as well as Oboro, which leaked the information of the attack. Ingrid, was able to make the connection between Fürst, Wraith and also Oboro, not long after. In another event, while watching a race on the Tokyo Kingdom Circuit, she killed Vritra, a cheating racer which attacked the audience.

Ingrid, cut the support and protection of Fürst as he was discovered to be a double agent of Teutates a rival of Black. Fürst was taken out afterward, by the Independent Rangers and Nisha Ninja Troops.

In year 2087, as Oboro's double agent role for Teutates, the Corpse Lord, is revealed to her, Ingrid still is able to tell she is not fully loyal to the Wraith. Ingrid forms a short partnership with the Taimanin, and allows Oboro's transport to Amidahara Prison by Alectra to be interrupted by both Wraith and Taimanin. Oboro's "soul" is captured and taken by the Taimanin as insurance and Oboro is for now allowed to return to serve as an executive but under the close eye of Ingrid. As they learn that the Landshark mafia of Lady Shark also belongs to Teutates after this bait, they attack their hideouts.

In one of those attacks, Lina takes out Lady Shark but is gravely injured by the sudden appearance of Felicia and survives with the arrival of Ingrid. As both Lina and Ingird attack Felicia, Ingrid noted that she had never seen this girl, as Teutates arrives to save his "daughter" before she might die against the two Hell Knights.

A later event, see a cooperation between Taimanin and DSO, which struggled to fight the Anzu, which threatened Japan with a typhoon. Ingrid was convinced by Lina and Dolores to support them. She gave Lina, her sword after she had gained shortly wings, with the help of Lilith Abel Bindernagel. After, Lina defeated the enemy, together with Mizuki Yukikaze, Koukawa Asuka and many others, she returned the blade back to Ingrid.

Timeline Action

TA3 events do not take place.

Ingrid is encountered by the Taimanin Task Force, which searches for Edwin Black in Tokyo Kingdom and pushed back before the arrival of Black. She is witness to Noah Brown defection to the Taimanin as well. Afterward leaves with the arriving Edwin Black.

Ingrid is again seen in the defense of a Nomad base after a combined attack of the Death Wraith and Taimanin Task Force, she was once more saved by the arrival of Edwin Black that wished to protect his pawns. As the fight goes on and both the Death Wraith King and Astaroth, start to fight Edwin Black, she is pushed back and fights, Onisaki Kirara and Akiyama Rinko, in the end she is overpowered by the Task Force and saved by Oboro that picks her up, as she would otherwise refuse to flee and die.

Ingrid decided to give Lina a medal of honor, which could also allow Lina to become an executive of Nomad. She even gained the support of Oboro, though this was more so done, as Lina often pushed Ingrid in rather embarrassing situations, much to Oboro's delight. During the ceremony, the Hydra they fought many years ago returned and tried to kill Ingrid, keeping this a secret so that the ceremony wouldn't be interrupted she excused herself on the phone and tried to deal with it on her own. She gained additional help of the guests Lilith Abel Bindernagel, Dolores and Selvia Rosemary but as Lina noticed how many were missing, she noticed something was wrong, and joined the group. Lina and Ingrid were in the end again able to defeat the Hydra, with the ceremony being postponed.

In June, year 2088 Ingrid is captured in a spirit dream world created by the Marriage Golem, a Brain Flayer which got recently unsealed. In the dream she believed to be Princess Ingrid of Karenberg of the Karenberg Kingdom, which needed to enter a political marriage with prince Andreas of Bevelshtam, a nearby kingdom. As Ingrid's senses were dulled, she was unable to tell truth from illusion. Meanwhile, outside Dolores, Lina, Fuuma Kotaro, Coolidge and Chevalier got ready to help Ingrid and pull her out of the dream, with Kotaro sending Amamiya Shisui into the dream spirit world. Shisui interrupted the fake marriage and pulled Ingrid away from the illusions, which tried to pull her back, without understanding Ingrid was able to use her blade and encountered Lina as well, with a dream Lina trying to stop her again. The same happened also with Dolores, but Ingrid was always able to tell the truth with her old memories flashing back to her. However, the group still needed to defeat the Golem, inside the dream and knew he would take the form of Edwin Black (RPGX), regardless of being aware of that fact, Ingrid was overwhelmed and pulled away by the disguised Marriage Golem. Remembering her recruitment, "Black" married her and like in a dream, she entered a normal family life with him. However, as he talked about potential children, mentioning the name Fumika in the case of a girl, Ingrid remembered Shinganji Kaede and Black's love for her, which pulled her out of the illusion for good. The other people now back around Ingrid, could now all see the Golem in its true form and Ingrid destroyed it in a single strike.

Afterward, the others suspect, that Teutates or the Brain Flayer had unsealing it, but Kotaro called the true culprit. Juno and Empusa revealing themselves, with Juno saying it wasn't her fault and she couldn't remember anyway, with only Empusa apologizing for her liege. Chevalier was asked for an additional talk with Ingrid at a later point, with plans to take down Teutates being on the table, people voicing that the final battle was close. A quick request for Ingrid and Nomad's resources by Kotaro, which still held on to a ancient book of the Wise Lord given to him, which he was unable to translate, something that could potentially help in the upcoming final battle.
