| [[File:Merlin.jpg|thumb]] [[Ancient]] leader and scientist, who contravened the wishes of the [[ascended]] Ancients and developed powerful technologies to fight against the [[Ori]]. | | [[Category:Characters]][[Category:SG-1]][[Category:Ancients]] |
| Merlin was born [[Moros]], a mortal [[Lantean]], and rose to a position of leadership in the city of [[Atlantis]]. After a century of war with the [[Wraith]], he was among those who decided to give up, sink the city beneath the ocean, and return through the [[Stargate]] to their ancestral home on [[Earth]] (approximately 10,000 years ago). Soon after he and many others discovered how to ascend, and Merlin lived in that state for thousands of years.
| |
| | |
| As an ascended being he became aware of the power and real threat of the Ori, the Ancients' distant ancestors who lived in another galaxy but had also ascended to the higher plane. Set on defending his people from this inevitable threat, Merlin retook human form around the fifth century A.D. He formed the Knights of the Round Table with young Arthur, his Ancient powers appearing as powerful magic in medieval Britain. The myth of Merlin grew.
| |
| | |
| Merlin used his knowledge to create various pieces of technology, including a [[computer interface]] that shifted him and his controversial research into another dimension, out of the watchful gaze of the ascended beings. There he engineered a [[weapon]] capable of wiping out even ascended beings, intending to use it on the Ori. The [[Sangraal]] crystal would power the device. (Merlin also carved a tablet with an Ancient cipher leading to [[Avalon]], an item that eventually made its way off the planet and into the hands of an associate of [[Vala Mal Doran]] (perhaps [[Arlos]]), who she subsequently stole it from.)
| |
| | |
| The Ancients sent [[Morgan le Fay]] to watch Merlin, and to stop him if he went too far. She eventually stopped him from completing his work, but instead of killing him secretly locked him away in [[stasis]] on another planet. There [[SG-1]] found him, some 15 centuries later, and revived him. Merlin gave [[Daniel Jackson]] the knowledge to complete the anti-Ori weapon (even depositing part of himself in Daniel's subconscious) before dying.
