Alvarez is possibly an Andahar, but maybe not if Ra-All’s promotion to Vestfold meant the entire family moved, as seems likely. Alvarez also does lose his head in a Barbarian raid like Uthers father. But TWC timeline places that in 985 (same year as Uther’s birth) and regardless of timelines Alvarez is pre Fant for sure. The only way around this is to assume that the baron who dies, leading to Uther becoming baron, isn't his biological father, but a step father. Seems a bit too complicated that way.
These days I think the person with the least conflicts is a character mentioned in AiF named Omar the Swordsman - described as a Baron in waiting.
But I wanted to revisit this Alvarez thing because it just seems like too much of a coincidence that Baron Alveraz dies in a Scandaharian raid and Uther's Father dies in a scandaharian raid. I wonder if Arneson wrote that bit with Alvarez in mind. It won't work with the timelines we have now, but it does seem curious.
