Ingold
- Minor
- First seen · Book 3 · Ch. 1
Ingold is a tall, heavily cloaked figure at the edge of a city under strain, watchful yet not without a flash of humor. He feels both guarded and human: a sentry who can laugh, even with the weight of duty around him.

Ingold commands the men guarding the wall of the Pelennor and later leads the remnant of the guard at the junction of the roads from Anórien and Rohan. He recognizes Gandalf and Pippin from their earlier passage through his gate, and later brings word that there is still no news of the Rohirrim. His brief appearances make him a steady, practical presence in Gondor’s anxious hours.
Description
Ingold is described as tall and heavily cloaked, his outer garment giving him a substantial, weather-ready silhouette. The text does not specify his face, skin tone, hair, eyes, age, or build beyond his height. No particular armour, colours, or distinguishing marks are given.
