Ectorion Falgesport is an old man with a deceptively strong magical prowess. His hair is thin and white, and his skin is tan, scarred, wrinkly and leathery. His arms are covered in tattoos which he claims marks him to be the true king and sole warrior of Yuntis. He is the self-proclaimed "King of the Western Wastes". He supposedly guards the western wastelands of Galkav. He claims to have come from another realm called Pentrovixus through "a great arched gate of eldenstone", specifically a land called Yuntis. It has been revealed that the Council of Tragisora are yet to find any such gate, their efforts often hindered by Ectorion himself. Ectorion claims that Pentrovixus and Galkav once had a very peaceful and mutually beneficial trade relationship using the gate, but that "the Order of the Bleak Star" sabotaged the Pentrovixus gate long ago cutting off all communications between the two realms. Very few believe Ectorions tales.

Ectorion supposedly escaped a plague called the Crimson Rot which spread across Yuntis, and the rest of Pentrovixus, like wildfire. Having forseen the plague years earlier, he spent all of the effort he could reparing the eldenstone gate, but he was too late. By the time the eldenstone gate could connect the realms, the Crimson Rot had taken everyone except him. He escaped to Galkav and sealed the gate. He revealed to Regina Woalkina that the Crimson Rot doesn't kill, but rather weakens the body to the point were it can take over your mind, which is why he had to shut the gate. He stays in the western wastes fearing that those under the influence of the Crimson Rot will find a way to open the gate and conquer another realm.

It's been shown that Ectorion Falgesport old age has left him with many mental problems, manifesting themselves as memory gaps or bouts of confusion. This has been used by many of those who don't believe him in order to discredit him. By Arch of Eldenstone, Falgesport's problems are somewhat severe, as he has trouble remembering many basic facts about his life, having great difficulty seeing and struggling to walk without the aid of a staff. It is implied that the reason that the Council of Tragisora could not find the gate to pentrovixus was because Falgesport was maintaining some sort of spell to disguise it, which withered away as Falgesports condition worsened. During this time he was regularly visited by Evilla, who tried unsuccessfully to heal him, however he took every oppurtunity he got to pass on his knowledge to her.

Ectorion claims that he had to pass twelve trials in order to become the king of Yuntis, many years ago. Only four of the trials have been named so far:

1. Ectorion slayed the great Demon of Oxyllion.
2. Ectorion mended the blade of the demigod Ufaldigur.
3. Ectorion ended Yuntis' sixth famine.
4. Ectorion banished the house of Vermillion to the outer wastes.
