==Summary==
Merlin is the hero, titular character and the protagonist of the BBC series, simply called Merlin. The series is centered on him and his heroic journey.
He is a young warlock, the last Dragonlord in existence, the only son of Hunith and Balinor, Gaius's ward and apprentice, and the best friend and manservant of the late King Arthur Pendragon. Merlin is also a creature of the Old Religion. Having left his childhood in Ealdor for Camelot, Merlin became the manservant of the Prince of Camelot, Arthur Pendragon, with whom he eventually became extremely close friends with.
From then on, acting on the prophecy of the Great Dragon, Kilgharrah, Merlin began his duty to protect and guide Arthur on his way to the throne while one day becoming king of Camelot and unite the lands of Albion while keeping his magic a secret. Merlin is destined to become the greatest and most powerful sorcerer to ever live and to use his powers to free the magical people and revive the Old Religion to coexist with the New Religion. He is also destined to stand at Arthur's side as an advisor and partner, as he reunites all the kingdoms of the land back into Albion, calling forth an era of peace and prosperity.

Intelligence: The most powerful sorcerer or warlock to ever walk the earth. Highly intelligent and competent. Can learn magic at an incredibly fast rate, learning in less than one year enough to take out numerous opponents with many more decades of learning than him. For most magic needs to be studied and perfected for many years, but Merlin's magic developed from birth with no training, Merlin is both highly admired and respected by the magical people (such as the Druids) and is both envied and feared by his enemies (such as Morgana). He can cast spells without chants, has experience in fighting magical creatures, deities, dragons and undeads, is a highly skilled swordsman able to take on Morgana and Morgause's immortal army, managing to kill several of them whilst wielding Excalibur (He is the one that created it with the help of Kilgharrah). He has some knowledge in medicine and potion making, is extremely talented at keeping secrets, being able to hide his magical abilities from everyone for years in Camelot excluding Gaius and Lancelot, because magic is considered evil.
Weaknesses: As confirmed by Balinor, creatures born with magic, like Merlin and Morgana cannot die, unless they are stabbed through the heart by a sword forged in a dragon's breath. (like Excalibur) It is the only weapon that can permanently kill them.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Stunning Spell: The power of this telekinetic blasts is capable of incapacitating, wounding, or even killing enemies on impact, even without the presence of obstacles that would be used to increase blunt force trauma. His telekinesis can also have a wide range like a wave, hitting as many as seven men simultaneously, once killing six opponents directly and momentarily stunning another.
* Lightning Spell: Merlin can call down lightning bolts powerful enough to tear through large sections of Morgana's army at once.
* Time Magic: Can slow down objects or, under certain circumstances, time itself.
* Whirlwind Spell: Can conjure a cyclone of wind.
* Dragonlord Magic: Can influence dragons and wyverns by speaking in the language shared by their souls. Merlin is furthermore able to summon Kilgharrah over long distances.
* Fire Spells: Can magically conjure flames, control fire or make a flame grow. Capable of heating enemies weapons so they can no longer hold them, throwing a wave of fire and causing explosions.
