Merlin
Merlin is a famous wizard from the legends of King Arthur. He was a wise magician, a prophet, and Arthur’s trusted advisor. According to the stories, Merlin used magic to help Arthur become king and guided him throughout his reign.
Merlin is known for his supernatural powers, such as seeing the future, casting spells, and shapeshifting. He is often connected to mystical places like Avalon and enchanted forests.
In some legends, Merlin falls in love with a sorceress, Morgan le Fay or Nimue, who later traps or betrays him, causing his disappearance. Despite this, he remains one of the most famous wizards in history and a symbol of wisdom and magic.
