My sense is to write Ulfwarth as a brother with no ambition because he realizes he's the third in line and with such powerhouses as Uldor and Ulfast, what's the point? So he absorbs himself in his pleasures (whatever they may be), and sides with Ulfast because he hates and fears Uldor, and Ulfast has always played to Ulwarth's vanity.

Ulfast is a little different. My sense is that he has strong ambition for the rulership of the Ulfings and plots and counterplots and schemes all he can to somehow unseat Uldor, and he has a strongly loyal but smallish following. My sense is that he's the least worst of the three brothers.

Seeing the two this way, I think it would be hard , Foley, for you to write either of them as well as Uldor. Unless you can see a way to it.....
