Category:Merlin the Magican

Myrddin, who would become known as Merlin the Magician, was born one of the younger sons of the archfiend Belial. His older brother Etrigan was a powerful Demon, and his rise through the ranks of Hell would shape Myrddin's own future, as it did his other brother Lord Scapegoat who spent his life being blamed for Etrigan's doings. Belial arranged for his son to be trained in the arts of sorcery, so that Merlin might one day bind and control Etrigan, his half-brother. As a result he spent years on the earthly plane being taught the secrets of magic. He would eventually become one of the most powerful magicians of the age. (1)
