| Merlin | — | Elliot Knight Jonathan Adams (voice) |
4, 5 | 7 | Deceased |
| Merlin is a powerful sorcerer originating from Camelot. He is served by his Apprentice.
In his early life, Merlin trekked through the desert with an unnamed companion until they come across the Holy Grail. When his companion disintegrated upon touching the Grain, Merlin finds himself approved by the Holy Grail where he gains magic and immortality. He first discovered his magic by turning the desert into a forest. 500 years later, Merlin takes on a young boy as his Apprentice and creates a special box that contains a hat, which can absorb and accumulate magic. As a safeguard, only those who have overcome the Darkness can open it. Merlin later met Nimue, when he learns that her village of Oxleigh was attacked by Vortigan. The two fall in love where Merlin reveals the traits of the Holy Grail. In order to combat Vortigan and remove his immortality, Merlin headed to the place where the Stolen Flame is held and used it to remake the Holy Grail into Excalibur. When Vortigan attacks and seemingly kills Nimue. Merlin confronts Vortigan, until his heart is ripped out by Nimue (who drank from the Holy Grail). Though Merlin tells Nimue to spare Vortigan, Nimue kills Vortigan anyway which transforms her into the first Dark One. After Nimue breaks the tip off of Excalibur and steals the spark of the Stolen Fire, Merlin remakes the tip into the Dark One's Dagger, binding Nimue's spirit to it. Eventually, Merlin uses the Dark One's Dagger to summon Nimue, where he tries to kill her. But after failing to do so, Nimue takes the Dagger and uses one of Merlin's tears to transform him into a tree. The Darkness is later taken in by certain individuals including Gorgon the Invincible, Zoso, and more prominently Rumplestiltskin, who both attempt to gain freedom by cleaving themselves from the dagger unsuccessfully by stealing the box from the Apprentice. For eons, Merlin and his Apprentice choose an "Author" to witness and record the events that occur around them. While still trapped in tree form, Merlin gives a young King Arthur the prophecy of Excalibur. The Apprentice later speaks with Merlin. He tells Merlin that he has trapped the current Author Isaac Heller into the book after he made him harm Maleficent's child. Merlin tells the Apprentice that he can't undo what has already been done and remarks that the fate of the child and the fate of Snow White and Prince Charming's child are bound together as they always have been. Some time later through unknown means, Merlin appears in the Land Without Magic. Posing as an usher during the filming of The Sword in the Stone, Merlin instructs a confused young Emma Swan to not take Excalibur from its stone when she has the opportunity to do so. In the town of Storybrooke, Merlin owns a mansion containing his hat, a hidden portal door to Arendelle, and a secret room containing blank storybooks similar to the ones used by each Author. When the Dark One's powers escape from Rumplestiltskin, an older Emma takes them in as a sacrifice, causing the town's residents to travel to Camelot in order to locate Merlin and save her. The inhabitants of Camelot inform them that Merlin prophesized their coming, telling them only a savior can free Merlin from his entrapment in a magical tree in the kingdom. Thanks to a teardrop obtained by Regina and Emma (who used Violet to break Henry's heart in order to obtain it), Merlin was freed and begins helping Emma in her attempt to free her from the darkness. He starts by helping David's group infiltrate the dungeon to take out the guards and free Lancelot and Merida. Merlin takes Emma to where the spark of the Stolen Fire was last used and has her summon the spirit of Nimue using the Dark One's Dagger. After overcoming Nimue's influence, Emma and Merlin then return to the diner. On the way back, Zelena had tethered Merlin to Excalibur using a spell and summoned Merlin to his side. Again and again, Merlin tries to talk sense into Arthur, who is still furious at the sorcerer for giving him a false prophecy and a broken sword. Though Merlin says he can help him unite the sword with the dagger and repair everything that was lost, Arthur believes there is no going back and he doesn't want Merlin to have all the glory. Smugly, Arthur then orders him to render the heroes powerless and send them away. After Emma frees King Arthur's captives enough for King Arthur and Zelena to get away, Merlin is present when Emma tries to unite Excalibur and the Dark One's Dagger. During this time, Captain Hook's wound he sustained from helping to fight King Arthur opens up. As Emma heals it, Merlin states that any wound caused by Excalibur cannot be fully unhealed causing Emma to teleport herself and Captain Hook away. Merlin then feels his tethering to Excalibur fading, as the Darkness within him is transferred into Hook via Excalibur, knowing that it isn't good. After Captain Hook becomes another Dark One, Merlin sends Sir Lancelot to find the Lady of the Lake. While in Granny's Diner, Merlin foresees what will happen and prepares a recorded message. His message is cut off when he senses Captain Hook come in. Captain Hook then rips out Merlin's heart as the Darkness in Captain Hook's head changes form from Rumplestiltskin to Nimue. Despite Emma's attempted intervention, Captain Hook crushes Merlin's heart at Nimue's tempting, in order to enact another Dark Curse to return to Storybrooke and take revenge on Mr. Gold. When the group was back in Storybrooke through some way, Henry threw the magical toadstool into the cauldron where a pre-recorded message from Merlin is played telling them to find Nimue, the only person capable of helping them defeat the Dark One in the event that something bad happens to him. Before he can say anything more, he sees the Dark One coming, prompting the remaining part of the message to be cut off. | |||||

Though King Arthur was unaware that magical toadstools don't burn. He is later locked up, with David mockingly pointing out that Arthur is upset because he's not important anymore.
