Merlin (TV series)/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Big Bad]]: Of Season 1.

* [[Evil Sorcerer|Evil Sorceress]]

* [[Lady in Red]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]

* [[Older Than They Look]]

* [[Starter Villain]]

* [[Unknown Rival]]: Though she is a formidable opponent, most of her evil plans are done from a distance, and Prince Arthur never discovers who she truly is after she pulls a [[Decoy Damsel]] on him. She interacts only once with King Uther (who would be her major foe) but then dies in the season finale without having any sort of confrontation with either Uther or Arthur. In fact, it's unclear whether they even know that she's dead.

* [[We Can Rule Together]]: She tries this with Merlin. It doesn't work.

* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: 1x04.

 

== Mordred (Asa Butterfield) ==

 

* [[Because You Were Nice to Me]]: This is most likely the cause of Mordred's loyalty towards Morgana.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Child Mage]]

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Mordred's storyline starts with him seriously injured by Camelot's guards and his father executed by Uther; then he is imprisoned and sentenced to death. He returned to his people only to have his mentor killed, his village destroyed by Arthur and he's forced to leave Morgana to save himself. After that he's openly hostile to the Pendragon, plus his caretaker is [[Manipulative Bastard|Alvarr]]; then Merlin, someone he considers sort of an ally, sides with Camelot instead. Three episodes, and he already has a hell of a [[Freudian Excuse]] for the day he will be the [[Big Bad]].

* [[Heartwarming Orphan]]: [[Subverted]]

* [[Innocence Lost]]: Probably [[Because Destiny Says So]]: he has to [[Big Bad|kill Arthur]], so a lot happens to make him change from a [[The Woobie|scared little boy]] to a [[Enfante Terrible|vindictive kid]].

* [[Little Miss Badass|Little Mister Badass]]: As demonstrated when he kicked the asses of a bunch of Camelot's guards with his magic in 2x03 and 2x11.
