Top 10 Best Merlin Characters
A rundown of the best characters from The T.V. programme Merlin. Feel free to post a comment.
Merlin... oh Merlin, he is the best. I watched the show maybe five times, and the first four, I was in love with Arthur (I still am). But the fifth! I loved how sassy, sweet, and kind he was. And as 'Dragoon the Great!', 'Clotpole', and when he pulled Arthur's pants down... Colin Morgan portrayed him perfectly. There's just some charm about him, honestly, that places him right above Arthur.
All the Merlin characters are amazing, but Merlin is definitely the best among them all! Colin just made Merlin memorable.
All series. Awesome actor and really cute.

Katie McGrath portrayed her well. We may not completely agree with her ways, but we'll always understand why she did what she did. It breaks my heart to see her suffer so much. Truly a multifaceted character.
She is amazing. Woman crush every day and the character development is astounding. Like no offense, but the only reason Merlin beat her was because he was the chosen one and because she was broken.
By far the best. Shows the way we humans truly change. She is really so cool, and Katie McGrath is awesome. I mean, she has the most character.

Although Merlin is clearly a close second, Arthur Pendragon is deserving of the title best Merlin character. He is hands down the most attractive and charming. While the show couldn't go on without Merlin, it also couldn't go on without Arthur, considering it revolves around Merlin saving Arthur. Arthur changes so much throughout the seasons without ever really maturing, and let's be honest, I totally ship Gwen and Arthur. Arthur is also self-confident without being too big of an ass. He stands up for the people he loves, and did I mention how completely oblivious he is?
He's strong, courageous, and brave. Overall wonderful, and with his cheeky sense of humor added. My favorite line he ever said was Well, that's great. I had a dream of apple pie that tasted of cheese. Love him!
He might seem a bit dull to some, but in the end, it is always him who seems to be the bravest and most loyal.
He also has a big heart and cares deeply for his friends, which makes him lovable.
He's my favorite character. He makes me crack up. Eoin Macken did a very good job and is one of my favorite actors today! Vote, people!
All series. Very kind and sweet and a lovely wife to Arthur.
I think Gaius is really underrated. All of his special moments are outshone by Merlin and Arthur, but when he transforms into a goblin in season 3! His awesomeness just slapped me in the face. He was such a wonderful father figure to Merlin. Without him, Merlin would have either: a) rotted in a jail cell his whole life for killing Arthur, b) gotten his head chopped off because he did... something, c) been burned at the stake as Dragoon the Great, or d) lived the rest of his life in depression since Arthur died.
What's not to love about this character?
Series 1. Very evil sorceress who, if Merlin hadn't killed her, could have worked with Morgana as they both hated Uther Pendragon.
The Newcomers
Morgause is one of the best and smartest villains on the show. Initially appealingly good, she changes her opinion when she sees that Arthur is still siding with his father and realizes that the plan has failed. She is also a good friend and sister to Morgana. She is selfless and powerful but good in what she does for her sister.
Whoever says she turns evil... no, she doesn't. She just tries to help Morgana, but she doesn't understand that Morgana is evil.
Series 4-5. So adorable when hatching and when next to the Great Dragon but unfortunately turns evil.
She's pretty, and I know it's a fictional show, but she sadly died. She would've been a perfect future wife for Merlin.
Series 1-4. Although he is technically good, he unknowingly is the key to Camelot's downfall.
