King Uther Pendragon

King Uther Pendragon was the King of Logres. He was known as an ambitious and a great fighter and leader, stern in his judgments. He came to the throne when his brother, Aurelius Ambrosius, died. He desired to rule all of Britain, not just Logres, and waged wars against invading Saxons and other British kingdoms.

Appearance and Personality
Uther was an energetic and powerfully built man, easily distiguishable by his red hair and beard. A great warrior and leader of men, those who spent time with him knew him to be equally at home on the battlefield or in with one of his many paramores. Brave beyond description, Uther Pendragon was deadset to unify Britain and drive the Saxons out forever.

Towards the end of his life however, his energy waned. With the death of his son Madoc and the subsequent kidnapping of his newborn son, he went to a deep depression.
