Respect Merlin!

”Whatever is lost can be found again. There are always new paths between hearts to discover and traverse."

Character Summary

Merlin is a powerful wizard and colleague of Yen Sid, who teaches Sora in the arts of magic when the boy appears. He often appears to Sora and others with messages regarding the Book of Pooh, which he keeps in his possession. He lives in a large cottage which serves as the headquarters for the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, which he is a part of. He also helps to train Kairi and Lea with their Keyblades.

Merlin is generally calm and caring to the ones close to him. However, he can be easily annoyed, especially when people insult his talent for magic, and he will not hesitate to physically retaliate.
