Uthor of the High Tower was a legendary king from House Hightower.

History

According to legend, Uthor married Maris the Maid, a daughter of Garth Greenhand, before she could be claimed by Argoth Stone-Skin, who had won Maris's hand in the first tourney ever held in Westeros.[1]

Uthor is credited with commissioning Bran the Builder or his son Brandon Stark to rebuild the Hightower, turning it from a tall timber tower and a beacon to a structure of stone that rose two hundred feet above the Whispering Sound.[2]
