History
Sometime in the, the Kissing Shark was destroyed by a blast of smoke powder. Blackfingers Ralingor perished and only seven of the Sharkers survived; Ingrar was one of them. Together the Sharkers saved one chest off the Kissing Shark. Later, the group found themselves in the tavern of Donder's Dancing Masques in Tharkar. There a mysterious benefactor named Belmer Droon rescued them from one of the frequent bar fights, and helped the Sharkers avoid the brutal law enforcement of the Daggers of Tharkar.

Once the Sharkers and their savior reached the safety of Ankle Bells, Belmer revealed his agenda: for generous pay, he wanted to hire a group of mercenaries to perform a mission in the capital of Doegan. After the pirates agreed, Belmer had them sign writs and they embarked on a mission to find and assassinate a noblewoman, Eidola of Neverwinter. Sharessa Stagwood explanied to Ingrar the meaning of the contacts that Belmer pretended them to sign.

Under the cover of night, in secrecy, the group boarded the ship Morning Bird. Soon after the ship left the port, it came under an attack from an unknown black ship that bombarded the Bird with fire pot missiles and terrifying bone balls that melted away in the flames revealing dancing floating armed skeletons. The Sharkers and their benefactors managed to fight off the undead and evaded the black ship with the aid of Belmer's box of mists and a prayer-token of Umberlee. The box transported the ship into a different part of the sea away from the pursuit, but the prayer token of the fickle goddess summoned her servants on board a ghost ship. The ship spawned the dreaded sea zombies and the crew of Morning Bird had to appease Umberlee by tossing their valuables overboard.

During the short respite, the suspicious employer mixed an exotic drug called yulchass powder in with the crew's food. The powder had a side effect of making its imbibers truthful. The ship followed them, somehow tracking them. After a long search, the Sharkers and Belmer found a magical scrying device hidden on the bottom on the Sharker's chest.

Soon after, the mysterious black ship, now identified as the Black Dragon, caught up with the Morning Bird. The pursuing captain was the infamous Orim Redbeard, the pirate responsible for the death of Blackfingers Ralingor. Kurthe Lornar's short temper and rabid devotion to his old captain pushed him to attempt to attack Redbeard. But Belmer, expecting this, hit the tall Konigheimer over the head, knocking him out, despite Ingrar was expecting their employer reveal some sort of magical weapon of doom. Orim Redbeard realized that he pursued the wrong ship, and left the Sharkers in peace. Meanwhile, Kurthe Lornar came back to his senses, fuming with rage over what he perceived as betrayal. He attacked the benefactor in blind rage, while his fellow Sharkers stayed out of combat. Belmer showed uncanny skill and finesse in avoiding Kurthe's brutal attacks. Giving the hotheaded pirates plenty of warnings, Belmer continued leaving cuts and slices on the Konigheimer's body. The pirate never stood down and died soaked in his own blood with Belmer's dagger in his neck.

Ingrar survived the sunk of the Morning Bird alongside the Sharkers a and a big group of Jander Turbalt's sailors. Surviving the dangers of open waters, they soon encountered the creatures that made Doegan infamously deadly—the "fiends". Many sailors died during the fighting inside the Doegan's forest, Ingrar believed that the fiends couldn't leave the woods but he was wrong and instead a bone devil targeted the boy pirate and suddenly one of the branches unfolded lashing down at Ingrar's head, ripping off his eyes and maiming his face. Sharessa, Jolloth Burbuck and one of the sailor help the boy to dab with the bandages and soon after Ingrar went asleep. He was carried by Jolloth during the march. The bone devil attacked the Sharkers again and tried to kill Ingrar but was at last killed by Sharessa.

After arriving in Eldrinpar in Doegan Ingrar despite having become blind fully recovered. In the city the mercenaries led by Artemis Entreri were confronted by the paladins from Waterdeep led by Miltiades. One group was looking to rescue Eidola, the abducted bride of Piergeiron the Paladinson, and the other group to assassinate her. So started a fight in front of Eldrinpar's Fountain of the Kraken and in battle Ingrar fought at best of his possibilties until his fellow pirate Jolloth "Anvil" Burbuck was killed. After the fight ended, Kastonoph Nesher joined the mercenaries.

Later, during the fiends' invasion of the city, Noph and the mercenaries led by Enteri decided to enter the dungeons of King Aetheric the Third's palace. There Ingrar had sensing inside the bloodforge and Entreri and Sharessa both insisted on recovering the artifact, before the fiends could seize it.

There the mercenaries lost Noph but met again the paladins. During the new fight they saw at the distance Eidola Boareskyr stopping the skirmish. Then Enteri ordered to Belgin Dree and Nargin to follow her helped by paladins Miltiades and Jacob while Ingrar, Enteri and Shar together with paladins Trandon, Kern Desanea went in search of Noph. Ingrar asked to Enteri why he was choose for this particular mission and the assassin said he need the boy's power to sense the bloodforge.

Using his new power Ingrar tried to figure where could be went Noph and Eidola leading the group inside the dungeon. So they found Kastonoph Nesher but the boy pirate sensed a secret from Trandon.

After thank to Ingrar they found the bloodforge in the same moment cultists from the Fallen Temple was stealing it. However they were somehow defeated by the cultist and so Trandon finally unveleided himself as one of the War Wizards of Cormyr. After they discussed next move and Ingrar said that his destiny was linked to the artifact and he need to recover it.

Soon after Ingrar sensed that the mar chancellor of Doegan Ikavi Garkim was following them with his guards and they stop to speak with him.

Offering an temporary alliance the Mar politician and aide of the Emperor joined them and they entered into the Fallen Temple to stop the devious plot of the cultists to summoned their deity Ysdar and Entreri and Sharessa attempted to claim the bloodforge as their own but were stopped by now-monstrous Aetheric III. In the process, the deity Tyr revealed himself through his new Chosen – Ingrar Welven. The deity manifested himself through ominous red skies and collapsed part of the temple's dome. Disgusted by the cult that claimed to be his worshipers, Tyr incinerated many, and forcing the survivors to flee. Before disappearing, Tyr tasked Ingrar, proclaimed to be the Voice of Tyr, with rebuilding his church in the Utter East. After also the mad Mage-Emperor was defeated, Garkim and Ingrar took control of the forge in order to defeat the fiends and save the city.
