Hello.

As obvious, I am a fan of 'Merlin' and I believe that especially Uther Pendragon contributed to the most fascinating storylines. The entire storyline of fate, destiny and predetermined future has cast a spell on me from the beginning, if I may use this term. It is also very interesting to think about the gods and godessess playing games with the future of mortals which is something that the human race has been wondering about for thousands of years.

I was discontent with the ending of the series because I think that the finale brought nothing but chaos and reduced the series to absurdity. I, however, tried to bring some sense into what I believe made no sense, therefore trying to add events to the past of the protagonists in my story "Whom the Gods Hate", that may help understanding what was going on, even if only in a fanfiction.

I also believe that no human being is born 'evil'; a term that is stretched quite often and never really describes a person's personality. In my opinion, there are always reasons for everything we do, and it is also clear to me that every creature is merely a victim of its environment and chemical reactions of the body.

Anyway, on 'Merlin', there is even more to it, given that higher powers not only interfered with the lives of the characters but even predetermined their fates and futures. Also all the characters' connection to each other is a fascinating theme that I am trying to explore.

So I hope you enjoy the story and Uther's past as well as the past of other characters.
