I just read the brief blurb about him in the lich article of Shadows of Gallowspire, (but I posted here because he's in Numeria, not Ustalav,) and was blown away.
I would like to know more about Allig Third, please, as he is clearly the coolest lich in all of Golarion... and maybe everywhere.
Well, credit where credit is due.
I thank you most gratefully for inventing him and the Paizo developers for leaving him in place!
Out of curiosity, is there any kind of a story behind why he's called Third? Is he Allig the Third, or is Third his family name, or some kind of title or moniker?

If you read the article again, you'd see that he once had a last name, but started calling himself "Third" after investigating the ruin and becoming addicted to alien juice.
Just the moniker Third doesnt correspond to any *Earthly* titling system; the author probably intended to suggest that he'd come under the influence of something within the wreckage. Maybe he's the third being that the entity in the wreck has possessed/influenced.
Speaking of that article, I also liked the mention of the Bone Sages of Eox the Dead. Alien space liches are awesome, because they don't need to breathe in space.

Maybe he's related to Ingrid?

Rusty is right. Alling had a different last name (Tresorant) which he dropped after his transformation. The article mentions he doesn’t explain the reason, which leaves a blank page for GMs using him in their campaigns. I have my own ideas of course, but I’m not sure I’m ready to reveal them yet. I like leaving GMs some room to work with and not nailing down all the details, though if I were to drop hints, it would probably have something to do with failure and a long (un)life.
