Uriah was created along with the other eighteen Guardians by Eirene, the first Guardian and the creator of Eridya. Under her guidance, Uriah created savannahs as well as felines, before making his home in the Copper Oasis. From there, he watched over the world with the other Guardians, and was worshipped by humans and animals alike as they collaborated to help Eridya flourish.
However, trouble arose when the people of Valya unveiled a creation meant to rival Eirene herself – an enormous black dragon named Dovrak. When they lost control of their creation, who began rampaging across Eridya and wounded the Tree of Life in the process, Uriah worked with the other Guardians and humans to drive back the threat in what became the Nightbringer War. Uriah was among many of the Guardians seeking retribution for Valya's actions, which ultimately came to pass as Valya was sunk under the sea and its Guardians sealed away, bringing the total number of Guardians down to sixteen.
500 years later, he convened along with the rest of the Guardians in a Grand Council after being alerted of a premonition of Dovrak being revived as well as the rise of an enemy faction named the Duskwing Syndicates. After quite some back and forth, they came to the consensus that they should seek out the aid of Champions in the dual hope that the Champions' presence would not only keep the Guardians together but also strengthen their defenses against the Duskwing Syndicates. They decided to search among young adults between 18-23 years old, as children would be unable to harness the Guardians' power.
However, in truth Uriah had been consorting with the Duskwing Syndicates and sought to side with them. Thus, Uriah sought out a Champion from the enemy faction, though he kept their allegiance a secret. Together they worked to revive Dovrak and spearheaded the Duskwing Syndicates' invasion that led to the Twilight War, standing alongside Ashika, Aethon, Duman, and Sen as Rogues. They openly attacked the other Guardians before turning their attention to the Tree of Life, prompting Eirene to send those who would become the Five Fallen to guard it. Uriah stayed behind to lead the Duskwing Syndicates in battle at first, but left to find Ashika when he noticed her missing.
Uriah arrived just in time to see the five Guardians kill their own Champions. Shocked by what he witnessed, he accompanied Ashika to confront them, but were soon outmatched by the arrival of Eirene and Tezal, as well as the rest of the Guardians and their Champions.
Ultimately Uriah and his kin were defeated, and at the end of the war their Champions and the remaining Duskwing Syndicates were either killed by the Dawnwing Organizations or scattered. Meanwhile, the five Roguess were imprisoned by Eirene for their crimes, where they would remain so for nearly 500 years.
