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.

Personality
Uther was a man of great ambition, and terrible flaws. Strong, cunning, and generous to those who prove themselves worthy, Uther engendered much loyalty in many of his vassals. Still, his jealousy, lust, and foul temper threatened to undo all his great works. Uther was a somewhat lackluster Christian, and often consulted with Merlin, who acted as one of the king's chief advisors until Uther exiled the magician following the disappearance of his unnamed son.
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.
In 492, the child was stolen away by Merlin. Merlin has now been exiled from the realm.
Uther has fallen gravely ill as of 493, and has stepped back from many duties as a result of his sickness.
Tragically, in 495, King Uther was killed under suspicious circumstances at the infamous Feast of St. Albans. He was among those poisoned by the wine, but also sustained stab wounds which were discovered on his corpse.
Uther was buried at Stonehenge, alongside his brother and son.
