Duke Ulfius

Duke Ulfius was one of the pre-eminent vassals of King Uther Pendragon prior to the Infamous Feast. A renowned warrior and a loyal follower of King Uther, he is one of the most influential lords left in Logres.

Ulfius is an aging man, having fought alongside both Uther and his older brother Aurelius Ambrosius. Never the most handsome of men, his years have granted him certain gravitas, and his steel-grey eyes are as sharp as ever.

Personality
Ulfius is known for his generaly stubborn and suspicious attitude, but also for his great loyalty and bravery. A man for solutions less than politics, he often drives to the heart of the matter.

History
Ulfius is the Duke of Silchester, who inherited power from his uncle after the Night of Long Knives. With the death of Duke Gorlois of Cornwall he was the most powerful vassal of King Uther Pendragon, with access to the immense wealth of London, a large swathe of land, and a strong army of loyal knights.

For years he served as Uther’s right hand man. Though generally viewed as honorable, many of his knights, however, are mistrusted by all good men of Salisbury. Perhaps rightly so.
