Uther knew what his name meant. It seemed, unfortunately, that everyone wanted to know. He wasn't sure whether to be pleased with the name, or whether to destroy every account in Albion that told of what the name meant. But, it was just like his father to choose a name that meant that for the future king of Camelot.
But, maybe that reflected his personality.
Uther 'the terrible.'
The King never wanted to see that look on his son's face ever again.
