I didn't start looking into Vortigern until my teacher brought up for a short amount of time in our arthurian studies class. She was really eager to get onto the more Roman-related connections than the saxon, celts and goughs connections that contribute to the arthurian myth, however big a role they play, with the norman campaign and all.

When I say king of Tyrants I suppose I was just phrasing my teacher, although I don't know what else to title him. Geoffry of Monmoth calls him the "unhappy king" but that isn't much of a title. I'm more interested with his connection with Saber Alter more than anything else and why it is so many movesets and products related to her are named under "Vortigern".

I keep imagining that perhaps Saber Alter's attitude, style and moral compass somehow mirror Vortigern's in some way but I can't say anything without heading into the "possibly canon-breaking" side of debates. Perhaps the Vortigern is the genesis for the "Blackening" process?
