Picture:
Personality:
Merlin is intelligent, creative, wise, thoughtful and overall well meaning. He does however get absentminded, grouchy, impatient and easily confrontational. This is due to wishing to be respected for his craft but also due to just being old. Despite his age difficulty he's energetic, full of love and immensely ambitious. He's loyal and kind, going out of his way to be noble and good. He's eccentric however and because of this is socially unaware or socially unconcerned with others opinions. He's stubborn, and can be close minded, but will be willing to listen when someone he cares for wants him to.
History:
Merlin spent a majority of his life searching, researching and making magic. He received many, many powers because of it including looking into the future. He also gained a owl familiar with the name of Archimedes. He then learned that a boy named wart would become a great king and merlin patiently waited for his time to tutor the boy to give him magic, wisdom, education and insight before he became king. He met wart and became good friends with him, going to his home as his teacher to assist him in becoming something great. Sir ector and his son didn't like him that much at first, but merlin managed to convince him to stay as long as he didn't interfere with wart's responsibility. He tried to abide by that but managed to fail due to his lessons going somewhat wrong by accident or by misfortune. He tried to help wart escape his chores with magic but it went horribly wrong, causing sir ector to view him as a danger which made merlin be forced to leave. He also got wart into trouble thanks for the boy standing up for him, feeling guilty merlin apologized and wanted to make up by finding a way to teach him stronger magic and education. He made wart into a bird to learn positive change, only for wart to meet madame mim and get captured. Merlin confronted her and won by tricking her in her own game.
He then returned wart home and was angered when wart wanted to still be a squire despite his claimed interest in being something better. Annoyed by wart's lack of ambition he confronted him but wart explained that he was just no one and that he was lucky to be squire let alone anything. Annoyed by wart's lack of insight, he left to Bermuda, letting Archimedes take over as his mentor. But there he learned that wart was just a child and didn't know what he knew. So eventually he returned, only to learn wart fulfilled his prophecy of being king. He then made up with wart and vowed to be his advisor. He was a bit reluctant to have sir kay as his knight but allowed it thanks to wart being fond of him. One day though both wart and sir kay disappeared, he used his magic only to have the spell go wrong and force him to the same place wart was without a way back. He met him and kay at the atg army and agreed to help if only to help wart and prevent kay from doing anything stupid.
Allies: Wart/Arthur, Kay, Sir Ector, Archimedes
Enemies: Facilier and Critic Army, Madame Mim
Plans: Bond more with kay and be more open to him, be friendly or clumsy to others. Be fun and funny.
