## Background

### Original Concept

*Over the years, different Merlins have been chosen after the first Merlin's death, because his power is constantly reincarnating. During the gathering where Arthur hopes to find the next Merlin, Mari is kidnapped by Mr. High And Mighty Edgelord (His name is actually Everek lol) who reveals even worse news.*

*Morgana, who was thought to be dead, is still very much alive. And obviously, she's got some kind of plan "cooking", likely one that involves Mari. Anyway, Everek sold his soul to Morgana several years back, allowing him to draw on her power, but also tying him down from making choices when she inflicts her control. Originally he made this sacrifice for love, but after that didn't go so well, a broken Everek hunts at Morgana's bidding.*

-Original 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 Concept

*Once happy to live his life in the small town of Ondra, dreaming of the day he could study astrology, Everek was ripped out of his perfect world when beasts from Evermoor began attacking his home. When no help from Camelot arrived and his dearest friend chose to risk her life- he knew he had no choice.*

*Two years later, Everek is still very salty about Camelot ignoring their calls for help. And after his time working as an assassin for the Dark Enchantress, violence and death are very normal occurrences to him. This all changes when he kidnaps Princess Mariposa for his mistress, who gives him the inspiration to fight back for control of his soul.*

-Original Character Concept

### Physical Description

Everek (about seventeen [𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 and 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐤𝐲] or eighteen [𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐞] years old) is described with dark eyes, pale skin, and always wears the same ensemble: black dress shirt, black, gold-outlined vest, etc. His brown hair is a little overgrown, black at the tips, and he keeps one side held back by a greying braid.

## Personality

Everek hates most things. After being "betrayed" by both Camelot and Beatrice he doesn't see Morgana as a foe, although she does have full power over him. He instead finds a friend who understands what he's been through, and while the two don't see eye to eye, Everek never says that he outright hates her. He seems to like his way of life, and even after realizing that he is the reincarnation of Merlin's power, Everek doesn't change much.

Also known as a workaholic, Everek enjoys studying everything related to astrology or magic and is more often than not found in the wizard tower. Nevertheless, he has proved to care deeply for his friends, and while he doesn't say this often he never outright masks it either.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Elora and Fynn

Everek seemingly had a good relationship with his parents before he and Bea disappeared, but now that he has finally returned and revealed that he didn't die Everek is unnaturally hard on them. While both Elora and Fynn are desperate to reclaim their old relationship with him, Everek seems to feel uncomfortable around them.

### Friends

#### Lancelot

Although Everek and Lance don't have the best of first interactions, the two go on to become very good friends. After finding out about how Everek goes to Evermoor periodically to keep the monster population at bay, Lance volunteers to go with him and assist however he can. Because of this practice, the two work very well together under pressure.

#### Princess Mariposa

Even during Mari's kidnapping the two were quickly becoming friends, and once Mari convinced Everek that his soul was worth fighting for the two became extremely close. They later go on to address each other with the title of "best friend". Many people in Camelot speculate that there is some kind of romantic interest between the two, and while Mari later admits to having had an infatuation for him, they both agree that there is nothing of the sort.

As Merlin and the future queen of Avalon, the two friends have easily found a way to work well together, although disagreements do come between the two of them. Usually, this is due to how Everek prefers to look at everything logically and Mari is far more emotional. Even during these arguments, however, the two are still very close and quite clearly care for each other.

#### Morgana

Everek and Morgana have a very close mother-and-son-styled relationship, particularly after the events of 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐤𝐲. The two are quite close and understand each other perfectly. While many are suspicious or disapprove, Everek has made it quite clear that he won't change his standing on her for popular opinions.

### Romantic Interests

#### Beatrice

Bea is very deflated after Everek gives her the cold shoulder when she returns. Eventually, as he starts getting used to having her around again and things calm down a little he seems to show interest in being friends again, although Bea clearly still has romantic feelings for him. He is very obvious about how he feels about that, but can't seem to get rid of her...

## Trivia

* Everek is named after a character from *Enchantress to the Stars*, a novel by Sylvia Engdahl.
* Everek is based on another popular character from Arthurian Legends, Merlin. He has been changed to match the style of the book, and the author uses his relationship with Morgana to give him a unique twist.
* He is the eldest of the main characters (seventeen in the first two books and eighteen in the third).
* The original concept for 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 (not other attempts at stories based off King Arthur, but Disquietude itself) was for one singular scene: Everek battling Morgana's darkness and manifesting the power of Merlin (chapter XII).
