Merlin (Transformers Film Series)

Merlin is the overarching protagonist of the 2017 action film Transformers: The Last Knight. He is a wizard who is a close friend of King Arthur's, and helps him and the rest of the Britons fight defeat the saxons with the help of the Knights of Iacon. He is also the ancestor to Viviane Wembly, as well as the previous owner of the Staff of Merlin (which originally belonged to Quintessa). 
He is portrayed by Stanley Tucci, who also played Abraham Erskine in Captain America: The First Avenger, Joshua Joyce in Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Cadenza in the live action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.
== Personallity ==
Merlin is portrayed as being a drunkard and womanizer. He also has a tendency to decieve others by making them think he is an actual wizard, rather than just an ordinary man. Despite this, he still cares about his fellow Britons (especially King Arthur), and will do whatever he has to to help them win a war. He is also respectful of the secrets of others, trying to make sure no-one knows about them. 
== Biography ==
During the battle between the Britons and Saxons, Merlin went to the Knights of Iacon to ask them for help defeating the Saxons. The knights, after some convincing, agreed to help him, and gave him a staff which he could use to command their combined dragon form. He was later hailed as a hero some time after the battle before dying to unknown causes (likely old age). After his death, his body was hidden in an ancient Cybertronian ship along with the staff, ensuring that no-one can find it.
== Trivia ==
* He is based on Merlin from popular Arthurian legend. 
* In contrast to most variants of Merlin, he is not an actual wizard, but rather just an old man who decieves people into thinking he's one.
