Biography[]
This unnamed boy was one of many children executed by Uther during the Great Purge. He was drowned because he was suspected of sorcery.
Uther suffered hallucinations of the drowned boy while under the influence of Morgause and Morgana's mandrake root enchantment. When Uther first saw him in the council chambers, he demanded that the boy leave and threatened to have him hanged, leading witnesses to believe that he was losing his mind.
Uther later saw the boy again in his chambers, along with several other drowned children and his wife, Ygraine. These hallucinations tormented Uther for several days until Merlin and Gaius broke the enchantment by burning the mandrake root that was causing them (The Tears of Uther Pendragon).
