Uther is the King of Logres. He is known to be ambitious and a great fighter and leader, stern in his judgments. He came to the throne when his brother, Aurelius Ambrosius, died. He has no wife, but several paramours, and an illegitimate son Madoc, now a young man recently knighted. He desires to rule all of Britain, not just Logres, and has waged wars against invading Saxons and other British kingdoms.
