What Merlin does

Profile

[615954]In the era of dragons and war, though she lived through many ages, King Uther was exceptional.

Compared to many kings who had vanished over time

Uther's chivalry, which treated everyone equally regardless of race or status,

was enough to capture Merlin's attention, who had faced discrimination as a half-human, half-demon.

Merlin accompanied Uther, and in the great battle of Salisbury Plain with the red dragon, Uther emerged victorious.

It was the moment when the Kingdom of Britannia was founded.

Merlin, as a mage and advisor, played a significant role.

One day, while Merlin was studying the stars, she saw a falling meteor.

"Uther's star is setting."

Over the long years, many kings ignored Merlin's advice, got angry, and ultimately died.

But King Uther was different.

"Merlin, if you say so, I will indeed die. But my desire to protect my people cannot be helped."

Even in that moment, King Uther thought of his country, and Merlin decided to help this great king.

As Merlin had predicted, the Kingdom of Britannia did not last long.

Many people died in Vortigern's coup, and King Uther also died in the final battle at Manchester.

​Merlin was surprised by Vortigern's unexpectedly strong forces.

She retreated, promising to return later, but hope was not entirely lost.

The star of Elizabeth in the night sky was still shining.

After that, Merlin did not leave her lab.

Her spirit was exhausted, and she was deeply disappointed with her own limits for the first time in a long while.

In the meantime, Vortigern had conquered Britannia and built an empire.

At that time, Merlin finally discovered an alternative: the Holy Sword Excalibur.

Having lived for a long time, Merlin was aware of the sword,

but it was a mirage that only a true king could find,

and if one was not chosen, it could not be used and would vanish.

However, it was a fairy sword.

Believing that the answer lay in Avalon, Merlin went to find the owner of Avalon, Vivien.

Vivien, who was also Merlin's disciple, kindly explained.

The Holy Sword appears of its own free will and is a mirage that cannot be obtained by desire.

But Vivien said that if one could summon the ancient guide, they could find the sword's location.

Based on the ancient manuscript received from Vivien, Merlin completed the magic,

and finally succeeded in summoning the Swordbringer she had always dreamed of.

However, the Swordbringer's mental state was very strange, as if it knew nothing.

The mindset of a child wanting to return home.

"Want to go home? Then find the sword."

Merlin thought that since the Swordbringer was summoned to find the sword, naturally, finding it would mean returning home.

The Swordbringer then began to adapt to this world and knew more than expected.

"This should be enough. Now I won't die no matter where I go."

"So... is it time to set off?"

"But the name Steel seems too conspicuous. I'd prefer a different name."

"... Alright, let's go with Ethan. It's a nickname I use often in games."

"I don't know what that means, but okay Ethan, nice to meet you."

Though spoken with a cynical smile, Merlin's heart was filled with a mix of anticipation and anxiety, knowing the future depended on him.[-]

Merlin is a female Human. Her birthday is August 15, and she stands 177 cm tall. Merlin is voiced by Mi-sook Jung in Korean. Her hobby is stargazing.
