A former Archchancellor of Unseen University and Archmage of the Silver Star. He comes from the Ramtops, where his father Acktur Cutangle lived in the village of Brass Neck next to Granny Weatherwax's home village.
Under his administration, Eskarina Smith was admitted as the first female student wizard.
There is some evidence that Cutangle entertained a (one-sided) romantic attraction for Granny Weatherwax during their briefly accounted acquaintance in Equal Rites. After all, they got acquainted in an intimate magical duel in the Great Hall, fought out in front of a packed audience of wizards, in which Granny proved herself to be at the very least the equal of an Eighth Level Magus, and following which both participants all but acknowledged defeat at the hands of the other... this is possibly the sort of courtship that can turn an old wizard's head. Granny, however, never mentions him again: while she never had a proper romance at all, the closest she came to one in her youth was with another wizard of the Ramtops...
His immediate predeccessor in the position is not known: however, Cutangle is Archchancellor throughout the events of Equal Rites, and the position was vacant at the end of the previous book (The Light Fantastic) thanks to the fall of Ymper Trymon (and most of the other heads of the wizarding orders, Trymon's own seizure of power having been brief.) So it seems likely that Cutangle was appointed to fill the vacancy.
His eventual fate is also unknown: no Archchancellor is identified in Mort, but at the start of Sourcery, the wizards are getting ready to appoint Virrid Wayzygoose as the new Archchancellor. Since the latter is described as having been patiently waiting his turn for years, it implies a peaceful transition of authority, and thus that Wayzygoose probably did not murder his predecessor for the job - which may or may not have been Cutangle. However since Cutangle never appears again, he can be presumed dead: most likely of natural causes, if indeed Wayzygoose was his successor.
