This probably refers to Uriah Heep, the villain of Charles Dickens' DAVID COPPERFIELD, although it could also be a reference to the earlier Uriah the Hittite from the Old Testament, whom King David had sent to the front lines of battle because he knows he'll be killed there. David was in love with his wife, and he wanted Uriah out of the way. Dickens was undoubtedly playing off of this David vs. Uriah tale in writing DAVID COPPERFIELD and constructing the David-Agnes-Uriah love struggle there.
