King Uther Pendragon of Logres took the throne of Logres, the largest and most powerful kingdom in England, after the death of his brother, Aurelius Ambrosius. Uther is a member of the Supreme Collegium and is known to openly desire the throne of the High King, currently vacant since the death of Aurelius.
Personality
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, who acts as one of the king's chief advisors.
Important Deeds of Note
In 452 Uther sired his bastard son, Madoc ap Uther. Madoc was legitimized in 486, becoming the legal heir of King Uther.
Uther kept Gorlois and Ygraine prisoners of courtesy in the year 490, refusing to allow them to leave his hospitality. When they finally escaped, Uther promised there would be war for this transgression.
In 491, Uther declared war on Gorlois. After the death of the Duke, King Uther married his widow, Ygraine, who is about to give Uther a child. This child will be heir to the throne, following the death of Madoc.
