Uriah Heep, mostly known as Urinal or Urine, was a former Dead Poets Society member and a Welton Academy student.

Biography
Heep is another student at Welton Academy, and was friends with Neil and the other boys. He was a member of the Welton Society Candidates, debate club, crew team, Service Club, forensics, and Honor Council while at Welton. In contrast to his friends, Uriah Heep was rather unconvinced by Mr. Keating's teachings, and was hesitant to join the group's meetings in the cave.

When Neil Perry died, he, along with Headmaster Gale Nolan and Tom Perry falsely blamed John Keating for Neil's death. Urinal turned in himself and the remaining Dead Poets Society members to save his friends from expulsion, resulting in his exile from the group as well as being punched by Charlie.

Personality
Uriah is vehemently afraid of getting in any trouble but decides to follow the rest of the group's actions anyway, often to the annoyed behest of his roommate Charlie Dalton. He is an avid rule-follower who tries to do what he believes is right, at times leading to brown-nosing.

Heep is very protective of himself and his reputation, as seen when he turns in the rest of the Dead Poets Society to prevent his own and their expulsion because he genuinely cared for his friends and, after years of being brainwashed by a system that made them believe anything authorities say is fact, did what he thought he had to do to help out the group and himself because naturally he didn't want to get expelled from school, not everyone has the money Charlie had to fall back on and can afford to get expelled from one of the best schools in the United States.

Charlie Dalton
According to the sub-context of Charlie’s line when referring to being Cameron’s roommate was “not his fault”, it seems Charlie does not like Uriah from the start. Charlie and Urinal are complete opposites.

This animosity for Heep grows in Charlie when He ‘finks’ to Mr. Nolan about the Dead Poets Society and when Heep blames Mr. Keating for Neil’s suicide. Charlie is more than willing to punch Urinal over this betrayal, implying bad blood. Additionally Uriah Heep is more than willing to inform Mr. Nolan what happened, “you just sighed your expulsion papers, Nuwanda.”

Trivia

 * Uriah heep is the only member of the Dead Poets Society to not stand during the protest of Mr. Keating’s firing.
 * It can be speculated that Urine is meant to be Charlie’s foil character. While He is an avid rule follower and Pee lover. Charlie is rebellious and is willing to defy authority. This might also be part of the reason why they are roommates.
