His powers are shrouded in as much mystery as his own history, but he has been documented to have the ability to change his form at will, has an extraordinarily long life, and seems to be able to control the weather itself. Merlin was recorded as having visited Julius Caesar 500 years ago, and has also been recorded at times to be over 18 feet tall. Since becoming an adviser to [[King Uther Pendragon]], Merlin has turned a number of battles to the favor of [[Locations#Logres|Logres]] through the use of omens and magic. After using his powers, Merlin typically goes into a deep trance, sometimes for years at a time, in order to regain his energy. It is also well known that he can walk freely between worlds, often doing business among the Fae races and crossing beyond thresholds with little hesitation or trouble.
Merlin is currently in exile, having stolen the child of Uther and Ygraine, and has not been seen since. All lords of Logres are ordered to kill him on sight.
== Personality ==
In [[491]], Merlin was present at the battle of Terrabil, but mysteriously disappeared prior to the sneak attack of [[Duke Gorlois of Cornwall]], and was later sighted at [[Tintagel]], having a private meeting with Uther prior to the strange sighting of Duke Gorlois at Tintagel, a man known to have been fighting miles away at Terrabil at that same moment. Uther has been noted as being somewhat uncomfortable around Merlin ever since this odd meeting took place, though he refuses to disclose the reasons behind his behavior.
In [[492]], Merlin appeared before the Ursine Brotherhood outside Tintagel, requesting that they delay attackers who would beset him. Trusting in him as an advisor to Uther, the knights set about an ambush and attacked the knights chasing Merlin. Unfortunately, they were Uther's bodyguards led by [[Sir Brastias]]. Meanwhile, Merlin made off with the infant son of Uther and Ygraine, though his purpose behind this action is not yet known. The infant's fate is unknown. The Ursine Brotherhood were tried for treason later that year but were declared innocent, and Merlin was sentenced in absentia to death. Any lords of Logres who see Merlin have been ordered to kill him immediately.
