INFO: Merlin Ambrosius, one of the strongest magi that has ever lived, practitioner of the First Magic, son of a mortal woman and a demon, advisor and friend to the legendary king Arthur Pendragon, and many more. Said in life to be a prophet and magician, Merlin was the one who foretold of the coming of king Arthur and was there to guide him(or her) to their destiny. He was known as a womanizer and a prankster, a teacher and a wise sage, a madman and a cranky old man, he was known as many things but in general he was known as a force for good, someone who would lead humanity to salvation, or that was until his tragic death.
One day, Merlin lusted over a beautiful figure known as Vivian, the Lady of the Lake. Vivian initially denied Merlin’s advances as she was disgusted of by his womanizing ways and his demonic heritage, but said that she would give her love to him if he would be able to teach her all his secrets of magecraft, he accepted. Though Vivian was known to be a kind and gentle individual, she hated Merlin. She saw him him as an evil bastard who didn’t deserved the powers he was granted, so she planned to take those powers away from him. As he began teaching her his magecraft, she started to use that same magic on him by transforming his lust for her into a form of true love. He saw what way this was going but he was already too deep into the entrancement that he decided to ignore it, saying that his true love would never betray him. When he taught her all the Magecraft that he knew, she demanded that he would teach her his First Magic, Merlin denied this, stating that he could not her his Magic as she did not carry his blood. Seeing this, Vivian decided that if she would not be able to posses his Magic then no one will. Using all the Magecraft he taught her, she trapped him into a death-like state and sealed him away in ancient cave. Seeing that the demon spawn had no way to escape, she, feeling satisfied, said her farewells to Merlin, and left him to rot. Merlin was trapped in state where he was not quite dead, yet he was not alive also, and there he stayed for long time. While he was immobile he was not unaware, using the eyes and ears of his former familiers he saw the world unfold around him. He saw his home rise and fall, he saw despair unseen, and he saw his closest friend die and saw he could do nothing to stop it. All of these events and more slowing turned the old mage mad.
Then one day a young mage entered his cave. This young mage was chosen as a Master of a coming Holy Grail War and was looking for an optimal place to summon his/her Servant, and he/she found this as the best place. As the young master began the ritual Merlin saw his chance. By drawing on the power of the Holy Grail Merlin was able to unleash his chains and was able to resurrect into this world once again in the container of a Servant. Merlin sees the Holy Grail as a chance for him to get his revenge on the World for his imprisonment. In his madness, Merlin sees the ultimate culprit for his torment was non other than Magic itself, and thus wishes to eradicate it from this World. He also sees that if he would destroy the Magic from the World he would also destroy the World alongside with it, and takes great glee from that fact. Merlin is determined to obtain the Holy Grail so that wish can come into reality, though there is one figure who would be able to convince Merlin to give up on his mad quest, his greatest pupil and closest friend, Arthur(or Arturia) Pendragon.

ARMAMENTS AND OTHER NOTES:

Carved from an ancient ash tree that originated in the Age of Gods and soaked in the heartsblood of a dragon, the staff has the ability to fire a huge blast of prana capable to ignore any level of Magic Resistance. This item will prove very effective in this Grail War, especially to Knight classes.
Magecraft: Merlin is considered one of the greatest magus’s that has ever lived, widely known as one the fathers of modern magecraft. Merlin’s capabilities as a mage is considered that of equal to Wizard Marshalls, maybe even greater. The only one that could be said to surpass him in Magecraft is his former student and lover, Vivian, the Lady of the Lake. It should be also noted that Merlin was present during the founding of the Mage’s Association and personally knew the Director when he/she was just a novice mage.
Elemental Affinity: All(Average One)
Origin: Magic
NOBLE PHANTASMS:
Dinas Emrys
Dragon-Fortress of the
Magician’s Miracles
Rank: A++
Type: Support
This Noble Phantasm is the embodiment of Merlins oldest legend. It is said that king Vortigern, king of Britain, tried to built a fort on a hill, but in morning they would find the towers and walls collapse. Under the consult of his advisors, Vortigern planned to sacrifice a fatherless boy as a way to keep the fort from collapsing. Merlin, as he was born without a father was planned to be killed as the sacrifice. But before that can happen, Merlin walked up to the king and told him the real reason of the fort’s collapse. He said that under the hillfort there was an underground lake which housed two dragons, these dragons is always fighting as they are the representations of the Britons and the Saxons, and it is from the tremors of their fights is what was causing the fort to collapse. As he said that, the two dragons came forth from the ground and started fighting above them. As they watch in fear, Merlin said that currently the White Dragon of the Saxons was winning, but in time the Red Dragon of the Britons will be able to obtain the upper hand. And thus, as he was walking away and the dragons were flying in sky, he foretold the coming of Arthur.
Merlin is able to manifest that same fortress from his legend into this reality. Surrounded by a Bounded Field that causes the fortress to be invisible to all those who are not participants of this Grail War, this is would serve as Merlins base-of-operations. While in the confines of this tower, Merlin receives a Rank-Up in all parameters and is able to fully use his skills “
Clairvoyance” and “
True Magic(First)”.
Dinas Emrys
Foretold Coming of Dragons
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Fortress
This is Merlin’s true Noble Phantasm and ultimate trump card. By sacrificing “Dinas Emrys - Dragon-Fortress of the Magician’s Miracles”, Merlin has the ability to summon the two dragons that once dwelled beneath the fort to act as his familiars. These dragons are of the rank of Divine Beasts as they are not just simple dragons but the embodiment of the fighting wills of the Britons and the Saxons, thus granting these dragons immeasurable power. These creatures are Merlin’s last resort as the cost of prana to keep these beast manifested is quite large. The twin dragons have enough firepower between that it would be impossible for most servants to defeat them that it would be far easier to defeat Merlin himself to put a stop to dragons rampage. It should be noted that without Merlin’s constant concentration, the two dragons will try to continue their age old fight, thus causing potential calamity for the surrounding area.
