Merlin, this name was an iconic name for Western legends about magicians.
That was especially true for the legend of King Arthur. There, Merlin was depicted as a legendary figure with many spectacular stories.
He was King Arthur’s magician, mentor, prophet, adviser…
Hmm, that was correct. ‘He’ and not ‘she’.
In some films and television works, Merlin was interpreted as a woman.
However, in the widely accepted Western legends, Merlin was a male.
In the widely accepted Western legends, Merlin was the product of one from the demon races and a human. He appeared from the forest and could disguise himself through various appearances, male or female, young or old. He could even transform into animals and communicate with other animals. Additionally, he also possessed the powers of prophecy and foresight.
Through those descriptions found in the Western legends, it could be seen that Merlin was a standard magician.
Or maybe a… … druid?
