The dragon of eagle’s series also known as the Camulod Chronicles has a broad array of character that are naturally pre-created from legendary aspects of the Anglo-British annals of history as well as the Roman empire chronology of historical principles. Purposefully, from the characters presented in the 9 tier book series of The Dragon of eagle the most remarkable character is King Arthur and Merlin who in more ways than one are the core pillars of the story lines of major book plots such as The Eagle’s brood and The Saxon shore.

Relevantly, merlin was characterized in the Camulod chronicles to represent the institution of ancient belief in magic and supernatural being. As legends has it, in the Arthurian era, there existed a supreme incubus sired child that had developed to attain the 5th level hierarchy of witches, thereby making him the sole and most powerful witch in all the Camulod Arthurian lands. The writer, Jack Whyte specifically developed Merlin’s character from Geoffrey’s Historia Regum that extrapolates the first legend of Merlin and preludes that he had his path cut out since to be a mentor and guider to King Arthur. Merlin, is born of a mortal mother and an incubus father who predominantly passes on the supernatural and witchery powers to him thereby making merlin a half bred incubus with mortal aspects and hence the most revered witch in Camelot.

In modulator terms as argued by Jack Whyte, Merlin is like the messiah’s forerunners who in this case the messiah being- King Arthur. Merlin and King Arthur have their destines intertwined, one dependent on the other and therefore both their existence was merely described as a tree and its branches- A tree had no essence if it had no leaves, nor branches-similarly, Merlin had no role in life without King Arthur. Merlin is bestowed with great powers, powers that give him firm respect in all the lands of Camulod. Relevantly, Merlin hands the Romans victory over Britain and is also at the sole center of raising King Arthur. The two are purposed to bring change to the troubled Camulod and Camelot lands and as a prelude of their destinies Merlin journeys back and forth between the past and the future through the dragons- Lord Seyther- the sole surviving dragon that was believed to know everything. Merlin is modulated and reborn into character all through the nine books series of The dream of eagle’s and finally after King Arthurs death in battle his quest and destiny are also unified to King Arthur in death and he dies, marking the end of the Merlin character in the book The Eagle that predominantly highlights Arthur’s end of his formidable reign.
