Merlin is a legendary figure best known as the wizard featured in Arthurian legend. The standard depiction of the character first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, written c. 1136, and is based on an amalgamation of previous historical and legendary figures. Geoffrey combined existing stories of Myrddin Wyllt (Merlinus Caledonensis), a North Brythonic prophet and madman with no connection to King Arthur, with tales of the Romano-British war leader Ambrosius Aurelianus to form the composite figure he called Merlin Ambrosius (Welsh: Myrddin Emrys). He is allegedly buried in the Broceliande forest, near Paimpont in Brittany.
Geoffrey's rendering of the character was immediately popular, especially in Wales. Later writers expanded the account to produce a fuller image of the wizard. Merlin's traditional biography casts him as a cambion: born of a mortal woman, sired by an incubus, the non-human from whom he inherits his supernatural powers and abilities. The name of Merlin's mother is not usually stated but is given as Adhan in the oldest version of the Prose Brut. Merlin matures to an ascendant sagehood and engineers the birth of Arthur through magic and intrigue. Later authors have Merlin serve as the king's advisor until he is bewitched and imprisoned by the Lady of the Lake.
Oliver is a given name. It is also used as a surname (see Oliver (surname)), in particular of a Scottish sept (see Oliver (Scottish surname)).
It may also refer to:
Arthur is a common masculine given name. Its etymology is disputed, but its popularity derives from its being the name of the legendary hero King Arthur.
Art and Artie are diminutive forms of the name. A common spelling variant used in many Slavic, Romance, and Germanic languages is Artur.
The origin of the name Arthur remains a matter of debate. Some suggest it is derived from the Roman nomen gentile (family name) Artōrius, of obscure and contested etymology (but possibly of Messapic or Etruscan origin). Some scholars have noted that the legendary King Arthur's name only appears as Arthur, or Arturus, in early Latin Arthurian texts, never as Artōrius (although the Classical Latin Artōrius became Arturius in some Vulgar Latin dialects). However, this may not say anything about the origin of the name Arthur, as Artōrius would regularly become Art(h)ur when borrowed into Welsh.
Another possibility is that it is derived from a Brittonic patronym *Arto-rīg-ios (the root of which, *arto-rīg- "bear-king" is to be found in the Old Irish personal name Art-ri) via a Latinized form Artōrius. Less likely is the commonly proposed derivation from Welsh arth "bear" + (g)wr "man" (earlier *Arto-uiros in Brittonic); there are phonological difficulties with this theory—notably that a Brittonic compound name *Arto-uiros should produce Old Welsh *Artgur and Middle/Modern Welsh *Arthwr and not Arthur (in Welsh poetry the name is always spelled Arthur and is exclusively rhymed with words ending in -ur—never words ending in -wr—which confirms that the second element cannot be [g]wr "man").
Uther Pendragon (/ˈjuːθər pɛnˈdræɡən/,/ˈuːθər/; or King Uther Welsh: Uthyr Pendragon, Uthyr Bendragon) is a legendary king of sub-Roman Britain and the father of King Arthur. A few minor references to Uther appear in Old Welsh poems, but his biography was first written down by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain), and Geoffrey's account of the character was used in most later versions.
He is a fairly ambiguous individual throughout the literature, but is described as a strong king and a defender of the people. According to Arthurian Legend, Merlin magically disguises Uther to look like his enemy Gorlois, enabling Uther to sleep with Gorlois' wife Lady Igraine. Thus Arthur, "the once and future king," is an illegitimate child (though later legend, as found in Malory, emphasizes that the conception occurred after Gorlois's death and that he was legitimated by Uther's subsequent marriage to Igraine). This act of conception occurs the very night that Uther's troops dispatch Gorlois. This theme of illegitimate conception is repeated in Arthur's siring of Mordred by his own half-sister Morgause in the later prose romances. It is Mordred who mortally wounds King Arthur in the Battle of Camlann.

NO COPY WRITE WAS INTENDED FOR THIS VIDEO I suggest reading this story first if you are unfamiliar with this series, or just to further understand the video. Story _____ After Morgana planted a fake magical substance in Arthur's room, Gwen was charged with using magic and enchantments to make Arthur fall in love with her. This is not the case, Arthur and Gwen are truly deeply in love, and Morgana has set Gwen up to make sure that Gwen should never become queen. Uther then sentences Gwen to be burnt at the stake, believing that when she dies, the "love enchantment" will be removed from Arthur. Morgana makes sure Merlin does not interfere with her plans, and has him captured in the forest, unable to break the enchantments that is holding him there. Arthur remembers the...
This took a good 7 hours to edit. I'll upload a story for this later as I need to shower and eat. Hope you enjoy :) STORY: In the kingdom of Camelot, a new king was being crowned. This was the beginning of a new reign, the rule of Arthur. With his new power, the king had one thought on his mind...to destroy a powerful witch named Maleficent. In the moors just outside Camelot was where Maleficent had spent the last years hiding from the knights who would kill her. She lived in fear of the Pendragon family as Arthur's father, Stefan, had stripped her of her wings. The Pendragon family believed that magic was the root of all evil in the kingdom. Meanwhile, back on the castle grounds Arthur was training with his servant Merlin, who was the victim of constant abuse by his king. Merlin also ...
My first crossover pairing! Characters are from the shows BBC Merlin and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Plot: Anastasia, a mysterious newcomer who allegedly has royal blood, attends a ball held in Camelot, where she is instantly captivated by Morgana, and Uther by her. Eventually he proposes to her, and, while she is still attracted to Morgana, she cannot refuse a chance at the throne. Morgana, although she had been playing coy at the ball, was secretly distraught at her decision. Morgana’s dreams continually get worse and as she begins to realize the magical abilities she possesses, she turns to Ana for help. Ana tells her she shouldn’t be scared of her power and that she should embrace it, but Morgana won’t listen to the treasonous words and walks off. Not long after this, Anastasi...
