 He plotted extensively against the perceived threat of his brothers; it is likely the "accident" that killed former King-in-Waiting Chivalry was instigated by Regal, and he plotted to poison Prince [[Rurisk]] of the [[Mountain Kingdom]] to make [[Kettricken]] sole heir so that eventually he could marry her, instead of [[Verity]].

 The third son of King Shrewd, his mother was Queen [[Desire]].

-He was typically Farseer in physical appearance (with a dark hair, skin and eyes), and was considered handsome, a title so obtained by much primping, taking pains to take care of his looks. His brown hair was smoother than his brothers' and better tended, oiled, and often scented. He also dressed more finely than his brothers, as appearances were extremely important to him.

 == King Regal ==
-He was irresponsible as a Farseer monarch, taking an unusually hard line with criminals, [[Forged]] ones and people with the [[Wit]]. He created the [[King's Circle]], a gladiator ring that pitted any willing warrior or criminal agaisnt a [[Forged]] one. He had not been taught to rule, being the third son. He saw King's power as something he wanted, like a child who wants toys, and as means to do what ever he wants, no-one telling him no.

+He became King through a series of convoluted and dangerous plots.
 == In the end ==
-As Regal aged, his behaviour went from near acceptable childish jealously to unbecoming outright arrogance, using his new position as King to do as he wanted, however ill-advised, regardless of the effect on the Six Duchies. Towards the end of his reign, Regal developed his mother's taste for drugs and had her same irrational behaviour, showing especially when it came to his hatred of [[Fitz]], whom he stopped at nothing to kill.

 == Skill ==
-The coterie Regal's half-brother [[Galen]] had created was loyal to Regal, not to the real Farseer king. Regal wasn't taught Skill as his mother thought him too weak and sickly for something she saw as labour and hard work. He had the Skill ability, as he was able to use it to talk to and punish his coterie using [[Will]]'s power.

He had the Skill ability, as he was able to use it to talk to and punish his coterie using [[Will]]'s power.
 == Other traights ==
-Regal had a fear of anyone different to himself, and would not stand to have someone who was 'unwhole' in his presence. This fear was inherited from her mother and extended to include such people as [[The Fool]], although he served as one of Regal's servants for a time, and people possessing the [[Wit]].
