Merlin Knight

On this page... (hide)
Merlin Knight is the last son of Skye Collins and Jazper Rhiannon-Knight, born in Cercatori d'Arte. He spent most of his childhood in Casa di Cavalieri until his father stepped down from leadership and moved to Midnight Shores where Merlin grew into a young adult. After meeting a group if entertainers and gypsies during his visit to Cour des Miracles in August of 2016, he struck out on his own as a loner. Shortly after, he accidentally trespassed into the Thistle Kingdom of Salsola where his life was spared upon discovery but Merlin still paid the heavy price of his freedom. He was enslaved under the pack's Crone Loki Helsi for a while until he was sent to work at Salsola's Portland outpost where he was eventually sold off to slavers. He was held in captivity for a while before his brother Arthur - in Portland to help Casa di Cavalieri establish their own outpost - happened upon him and bought back his freedom. They returned home to Casa di Cavalieri in April of 2018. While investigating the strange flora growing along the coastline of the Broken Occident, Merlin and Arthur rescued a Courtier from the dangerous affects of the flowers. Once they were safely away from the intoxicating flora, Merlin realized that the woman they rescued was his childhood friend, Thyri Dawnbringer. Reunited at last, the pair began to meet regularly at Ross Farm Museum and, over the course of several weeks, their friendship blossomed into love. In July of 2018, Merlin left Casa di Cavalieri and joined Cour des Miracles, where he lived with Thyri until the pack's brutal disbandment at the end of March 2019. The pair remained in the area alongside several other refugees, eventually forming the loner band Petite Cour until deciding to join a new pack, New Caledonia. Merlin and his wife settled easily into the Realm. For a time, life was stable and uneventful – even hopeful again with the discovery of Thyri's pregnancy – until tragedy struck following the birth of his daughters. Shortly after giving birth, Thyri grew ill and both she and one of their three daughters, Rúna Stormbringer, passed away following a brief, albeit grievous, illness, leaving Merlin to raise their remaining children on his own. Currently, Merlin remains in New Caledonia as a Peer, where he enjoys bow-making and woodworking. Although his daughters are now grown, he remains a figure of guidance and support to them both. |

Summary |
|
With his dense pelt and balanced proportions, there is no mistaking Merlin for anything other than a wolf. Tall and sturdy with marked definition in his upper body, Merlin has begun to put on a little extra weight around his midsection after living in such an easy, prosperous lifestyle in New Caledonia in his older age. Although his snout is a little blunt, his jawline and cheekbones are well defined. Although he prefers his Optime form, he will use his other forms with ease and tends to forgo clothing except for special occasions. Merlin wears his straight mane at medium length, often pushing it from his face so that its longer in the back. |

Merlin has a dark palette, with orange accent marks and off-white on his face and neck.

2. Personality
charismatic, magnetic, mischievous, clever, creative, easily bored, trouble maker
As a puppy Merlin was a quieter soul, filled with youthful curiosity for the world. He had been bashful by nature but he grew into his wicked sense of humor. There is nothing that he enjoys more than making others smile. It doesn't matter if others are laughing with him or at him - if they are smiling - mission accomplished. Enslavement within the strict pack of Salsola and among many masters in Portland with different demands subdued him a little, but with his freedom regained he is slowly but steadily settling back into his old ways.
