Merlin is an innovative program that presents the adventures of a teenaged Merlin (the young mage), Morgana (the troubled ward), Arthur (the young prince and heir apparent), Guinevere (Morgana's serving maid and of African descent), and Lancelot (a First Knightian version: common born but with aspirations from a better life) as they struggle with the over-bearing presence of King Uther Pendragon and his crusade against magic. Other figures from the legend are also present, though, as with the representation of the main cast, they often bear little resemblance to their legendary forebears. These include three magic-users--a prepubescent Mordred, Morgause (sister to Morgana), and Nimueh--and (surprisingly) Geoffrey of Monmouth as the royal librarian. Ygraine, Arthur's mother, has also made an appearance.
