Uther is a man of great ambition, and terrible flaws. Strong, cunning, and generous to those who prove themselves worthy, Uther engenders much loyalty in many of his vassals. Still, his jealousy, lust, and foul temper threaten to undo all his great works. Uther is a somewhat lackluster Christian, and often consults with [[Merlin, Archdruid of England]], who acts as one of the king's chief advisors.

In [[492]], Ygraine bore Uther a son, but the child was stolen by Merlin. The Ursine Brotherhood was tricked into providing a distraction for Merlin's escape and were tried for treason, though they were able to convince the court of their innocence and Uther declared that they were victims in this affair, not perpetrators.

In [[495]], King Uther led his troops in the battle of St. Albans. Uther had been ill for the past three years, ever since his child was stolen by Merlin. The battle was a great victory despite Uther's weakness, however, and a great feast was held to celebrate. The Saxons had poisoned the wine at St. Albans, however, and Uther was murdered by their treachery along with most of the nobles in England. Uther was buried at Stonehenge, between his brother, Aurelius Ambrosius, and his son, Madoc.
