Merlin

Merlin, also known as the Great Wizard and the Grand Ujahr, was the creator and one true king of the Whispy Woods, and a representation of all that is good. A skilled enchanter, magician, and philosopher, Merlin watches over the known world with a serene gaze.

Appearance
Merlin was tall and thin, with long white hair that fell past his shoulders, shaggy brows, and a white beard that reached his waist. In his youth, he had blonde hair. His eyes were a brilliant shade of azure blue, each one set on either side of his high-bridged nose, and his features were "grained with fine lines". Despite his age, Merlin is strong and graceful and every bit the skilled wizard he was in his youth.

Merlin was known for wearing a red magician's cloak. His demeanor was often — if not always — serene and ethereal, and he usually spoke in a calm, pleasant voice, but he could also be commanding when he wanted to.

Personality
A benevolent, humble, and wise individual, Merlin was considered by many to be the divine representation of greatness in the entire Whispy Woods. He had an almost unnaturally calm and collected demeanor and constantly gave off an aura of sophistication and composure, rarely displaying intense emotions of anger or fear. He was known for typically speaking in a calm, collected voice, and for being firm, but reasonable and kind. He was always courteous, even to people who he found rude or in the case of the Emperor, wicked. However, despite his benign nature, it is said that Merlin was the only person the Emperor ever truly feared the wrath of.

As a supremely talented wizard, Merlin showed numerous examples of extraordinary abilities. His capabilities as a wizard were combined with his near-omnipotent intellect and extremely cunning mind that allowed him to comprehend human nature and turn the better aspects of humanity (trust, love and friendship) to the Emperor's disadvantage in particular. Merlin was known to be quite philosophical; often, very few people had the understanding (or patience) to comprehend his philosophies.

Merlin is a divine being, and is therefore extremely powerful and almost omnipotent, with the only being known to surpass his authority and power being his father, the Sun-King. He possesses a certain omnipresence, and his mere presence has the ability to boost the morale of the faithless, and cause sleep for others,

Merlin, while often very compassionate and calm, did have a very serious side of himself and was capable of being quite threatening. This was rarely seen, but appears to be well known and combined with his exceptional magical abilities, made very few of his allies willing to cross him and almost all of his enemies feared him, to the point that Finn Cooper — who, after witnessing a rare moment of Merlin's furious rage — fully understood why Merlin was the only person that the Emperor ever feared.
