It’s at this point that we should probably discuss Merlin.

No, not that Incubus. (Source: Wikimedia Commons)

He’s a pretty important guy. He’s also fucking mysterious.

Some say he was a sage and a madman. Others say he lived his life backwards, but in a cool way and not like Benjamin Button; and others still say he’s a cambion, the child of an incubus and a mortal woman.

Thing is, no one really knows the whole truth about this guy.

 

Here are the things we know for sure about Merlin:

  • He’s most certainly from Wales. Hence his intimate knowledge on various forms of dragon entertainment.
  • He knows a lot of kings. Or, will know a lot of kings. Or, both.
  • He knows his shit.
  • He does possess a significant amount of magic, the type that hasn’t been seen since.
  • He’s a Slytherin.

Basically, he’s magical as fuck, and we’ll be seeing a lot of him.
