'''Regal Farseer''' was a Prince, King-in-Waiting and then King of the [[Six Duchies]], though he was later dubbed a pretender to the throne, as he knew that after King [[Shrewd]] the real King, [[Verity]], was still alive.
The third son of King Shrewd, his mother was Queen [[Desire]], who encouraged him from an early age that he was superior to his two older brothers ([[Chivalry]] and Verity) and had a better claim to the throne. He is good looking, knows it and takes pain to take care of his looks. His brown hair is smoother than his brothers' and better tended and often scented. He also dresses more finely than his brothers. Appearances are important to him.
Towards the end of his life, 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.
Regal had a fear of anyone different to himself, and would not stand to have someone who was 'unwhole' in his presence. This fear 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]].
In the end, Fitz used the [[Skill]] on Regal to force him into loyalty towards [[Kettricken]], though it was never found out how long this would have lasted, as Regal was killed in his bedroom some time later, most probably by a feretferret.
