Hello Red Sonia! Welcome to the Comeback Inn. Feel free to introduce yourselves to the others in the Hello Thread. 
You have some great questions! Only two individuals are known to have held the title of Wizard of the Wood. The first was Pete (Played by Pete Gaylord) and the second was Sildonis. They were both human, but Sildonis in particular is noted to be a friend of elves. It is not known exactly what being the Wizard of the Woods entails, but the requirement seems to at the minimum be master of the Wizard's Wood, a woodland area just a few miles east of Blackmoor Town. This is also where the tower of the Wizard of the Wood is located.
It seems likely that Pete became the Wizard of the Woods in 996 NC. He perished during the first expeditions to the Valley of the Ancients around 998-999. Sildonis became the Wizard of the Woods somewhere between 1002-1005 by clearing out the dark and sinister place that Pete's Woods had become.
Some more details on the original Wizard of the Woods can be found here.
I am not sure about Uther's upbringing. I know he stayed with the Peshwah for a while. Could you point me to the reference about him spending time with the Wizard of the Woods?
