Merlin is called Emrys because that was the name that was given to him when he was born in Caer-Fyrddin. Later he became known as Merlin, which is a Latin translation of the Welsh word Myrddin. Merlin began to make an appearance in the early 10th century. He is a master of ancient magic and he is loyal to the Fey cause, though many of the Fey revile him due to his seeming allegiance to King Uther Pendragon.
Merlin is also revealed to be the biological father to the main character of the series, Nimue…. Portrayed by. The young warlock uses an aging spell to transform himself into an old man and must take a potion to transform back to his young self. Morgana is terrified of the aging warlock as she knows him to be her doom. Originally a kind-hearted individual, Morgana became evil after being corrupted by Morgause and being betrayed by her former-friend Merlin.
The started being together upon the conclusion of the movie and according to them on BBC Series, their feelings for each other began right when they were on stage for the movie cast. It is really nice to know that Merlin and lady Morgana are dating in real life. Morgana turned on him because she felt like she had to in order to survive—in order to distance herself from how much he had hurt her. And as for why Morgana came to hate Arthur: several reasons. First and foremost, Arthur too, had killed many of her kind.
She did not feel like she could trust him. Morgana catches up with Merlin and Arthur and drives their horses away, but she is killed by Merlin wielding Excalibur. Table of Contents. When Morgana returned to Camelot, Merlin was anxious that she would expose him, but to his surprise she tearfully said she understood why he did it and confessed that she had had no idea what she was doing. Thinking she had forgiven him, Merlin was vastly relieved until he discovered the enchantment on Uther The Tears of Uther Pendragon.
When he followed her to meet with Morgause, Morgana dropped the act and revealed her true loathing for Merlin, leaving him bound in chains to die. Curiously, for reasons unknown, Morgana never exposed Merlin for poisoning her, though she probably could have him executed on the spot for it. Possible explanations include that she feared her magic or her treachery being exposed, or for some reason did not want him executed.
Morgana remained ignorant to the fact that she owed her life to Merlin when he cured her fatal head injury, although he acted largely to alleviate his own guilt from having caused her accident in the first place, and also to save Arthur and Uther from their overwhelming grief The Crystal Cave. With all pretence now dropped, Morgana and Merlin were deeply hostile to one other, though in the presence of Arthur and Gwen they tended to be civil, but not friendly.
Uncharacteristically, Merlin was shown to be very cold towards Morgana and vice versa. Merlin had long since given Morgana up as a lost cause, and when Morgana crowned herself Queen of Camelot, Merlin helped Arthur rally a resistance, destroying the immortal army she and Morgause raised by emptying the Cup of Life after he hurled Morgause into a stone pillar. Morgana's hatred of Merlin was amplified by his severely wounding Morgause, though it is unclear whether her eventual emaciated state and death were a direct result of Merlin's attack.
The following year, Morgana was ever more suspicious, paranoid and hostile. She and Merlin did not meet over the course of the year, although Merlin was frequently aware of her plans to seize the throne and continuously thwarted them.
Despite this, Morgana did not kill him instantly when he was at her mercy after being captured by mercenaries, instead using him as a pawn in her wider plans A Servant of Two Masters. However, Morgana continually remained ignorant to the fact that Merlin was in fact the Emrys foretold to be her doom The Secret Sharer , still believing he was merely an unusually troublesome servant of Arthur's, although she discovered it through Mordred's betrayal of Arthur The Drawing of the Dark.
After learning Merlin's secret, Morgana is extremely surprised. After having Merlin's magic temporarily removed, Morgana seals him in a cave, mockingly telling him that he would not mess with her plans again.
During the battle of Camlann, Morgana hysterically screams at Merlin when he returns to the battlefield, and he wastes no time in attacking her with a lightning spell.
Once the Cailleach delivered her cryptic warning about the sorcerer Emrys being her doom, Morgana began to live in great fear of him, particularly after having a vision of herself pleading for Emrys' help in a battlefield.
Though she suspected his having a hand in many of her foiled plans, she first met him face to face when she caught him going through her possessions. This led to a magical duel between the two, which Emrys narrowly won. Morgana became obsessed with discovering Emrys's true identity, believing he stood between her and her birthright, even going so far as to capture Gaius in an unsuccessful attempt to find it out.
Morgana continued to be afraid and suspicious of Emrys, still having failed to identify him, and she panicked when she caught sight of him after she conquered Camelot, clearly fearful of further attack. Her efforts to discover who and where Emrys became successful when Mordred betrayed Camelot due to the fact his love was hanged The Drawing of the Dark.
Morgana and Arthur grew up together and their relationship had always been strong. On the surface they seemed like siblings, teasing one another mercilessly and trading sarcastic comments, but there was also a much deeper connection between them. Morgana proved to be Arthur's advisor and moral compass early on as she was the only one who could get him to confront and defy his father by doing what he knew in his heart was right.
Despite being raised together, Arthur and Morgana developed an attraction for one another at some point. Whenever knights flattered Morgana it irked Arthur, and he in turn openly accused her of being jealous when she tried to dissuade him from pursuing Sophia. They shared a number of tender moments where it was clear that the love they had for each other went much deeper than attraction, and the prophetic dreams that terrified Morgana most were ones of Arthur's death The Gates of Avalon , Le Morte d'Arthur.
Each time she would desperately try to save him and prevent her prophecies from being realised, on one occasion running to plead with him in front of the assembled knights when she knew he would not return safely from a quest.
And just as Morgana was fiercely protective of Arthur, he, in turn, did everything in his power to keep her safe and happy. He defended her interests against his father, securing her release from the dungeons To Kill the King and agreeing to defy Uther and smuggle Mordred out of Camelot solely for her sake The Beginning of the End. Arthur explains his plan to Morgana. However, Arthur's sudden interest in Guinevere caused his relationship with Morgana to suffer.
Caught up in his new romantic problems, he failed to realise that Morgana was struggling with something serious and unintentionally left her even more isolated as she wrestled with her growing magic. When she was "kidnapped" by the druids, however, Arthur mounted a rescue and brought her back safely to Camelot, although he did not realise this was not what she wanted The Nightmare Begins. The more he became infatuated with Gwen, the more his relationship with Morgana shifted towards that of brother and sister, while when Uther married Catrina, the two were horrified to discover their new stepmother was a troll Beauty and the Beast.
Morgana grew more defensive and less open with Arthur, for instance, believing her magic to be the reason she was immune to the sleeping plague while feeling unable to risk telling him the truth The Fires of Idirsholas. Although Arthur undoubtedly loved and cared for Morgana, she recognised that his position would be one of severe conflict due to his inherited suspicion of magic and therefore could not seek his help. After Morgause disappeared with Morgana, Arthur demonstrated his devotion to her by spending a year searching for her, feeling that he had failed to protect her.
Finding her stumbling through the forest on one such patrol, with great relief Arthur brought her back to Camelot where he tenderly listened to her recount her escape and promised her that she was safe now. When Uther fell ill and Arthur was faced with the burden of ruling, he sought comfort from Morgana, embracing her and telling her how glad he was that she was there with him. Unbeknownst to Arthur, Morgana was, in fact, responsible for Uther's decline, and she continued to plot against the king in secret The Tears of Uther Pendragon.
When Merlin inadvertently caused a fatal head wound in Morgana in an attempt to stop her from killing Uther, Arthur was utterly grief-stricken at the thought of losing her, ironically telling Merlin he would "sacrifice [his] place on the throne for her to see another sunrise" The Crystal Cave.
For a time, Morgana's hatred was directed solely at Uther, and largely she showed no animosity towards Arthur, but after the discovery that Uther was her father, Morgause pointed out that Arthur was all that stood between Morgana and the crown, despite her being illegitimate and unrecognised.
After this, Morgana began to plot against her half-sibling while he remained a doting brother, even risking his life to go back into Cenred's stronghold to rescue her, unaware that it was a trap to get him killed The Castle of Fyrien. It was not until Morgause's army overtook Camelot and Morgana crowned herself queen that Arthur learned of her treachery and her true paternity.
Arthur reeled in the face of this knowledge and spent a whole week struggling with it, only recovering when Merlin rallied him to take back his kingdom from her. Arthur lamented that he had known Morgana his whole life and could not understand her betrayal, but in the end, led his knights against her to take back Camelot The Coming of Arthur.
Over a year after he learned of her treachery, Morgana was now fully estranged from Arthur, plotting against him and bringing about Uther's death from afar which resulted in Arthur being crowned King of Camelot.
Morgana, therefore, continued in her attempts to take Arthur's throne, eventually succeeding in conquering Camelot once again. Her first confrontation with Arthur since leaving came when he stormed the castle to take back the kingdom. The reunion was clearly tense with Morgana's expression conflicted as Arthur commented he "thought we were friends", to which she, evidently torn, replied, "as did I".
However, the two could not reconcile and Morgana accused Arthur of being too much like his father, leading Arthur to remark that she too resembled Uther more than she realised The Sword in the Stone.
Three years after their last encounter Morgana's hatred of Arthur seems only to have intensified. Morgana's captivity and subsequent torture may have played a part in this. Morgana believes that Arthur is the only obstacle standing in the way of the Old Religion being respected once more.
The High Priestess also can't understand how despite all her powers Arthur continues to defy her. When she corners Arthur in the tunnels beneath Ismere; Morgana wastes no time in trying to kill her brother.
Arthur, however, even on the brink of death, keeps reminding her how kind and compassionate used to be, as well as their early relationship. Morgana, however, refuses to go back and says that she has grown up now Arthur's Bane. After this, Arthur admits that he hates her, however, it is unclear if he only said this to gain Sarrum's trust or if he has actually given up on his sister The Hollow Queen.
After Mordred's love Kara is hanged by Arthur, Mordred allies himself with Morgana giving her the key of Arthur's demise by revealing Emrys' true identity to her The Drawing of the Dark. After Mordred is killed during her fight with Arthur, Morgana's hatred extremely grows for her brother.
She finds him and taunts him that he is going to die. After Merlin pierces through her with Excalibur, Arthur fleetingly looks at her lifeless eyes, and very soon he leaves his last breath as well The Diamond of the Day. Morgana had a close friendship with her maid, Gwen , whom she treated as an equal rather than a servant. Gwen frequently comforted Morgana when she woke up from nightmares and was very attached to her mistress.
When Uther's soldiers killed Gwen's father, Tom, Morgana was enraged on her behalf to the extent where she participated in a plot to kill the King, but later changed her mind. As time went on Morgana noted that Gwen was getting more secretive, and wondered if there was a man involved, which there was. Despite their close friendship, Morgana never confided in Gwen about magic, instead turning to Merlin.
A relieved Morgana hugs Guinevere. When Morgana was taken away by Morgause, Gwen appeared to miss her, but after Morgana's return, it became obvious that her experiences had changed her. Morgana was distant and now treated Gwen like a servant rather than a friend, although she did give Gwen an embroidered handkerchief she received as a birthday present, albeit as an excuse to get Gwen to leave the room so she could read a message sent by Morgause.
Morgana soon discovered Gwen's feelings for Arthur when he was forced to marry a princess and she later used this to lure Arthur to a trap in the Castle of Fyrien. When Morgana received visions of a future where Gwen was Queen of Camelot, she was incensed that Gwen would one day rob her of her birthright, so she subtly revealed Gwen and Arthur's courtship to Uther and framed Gwen for enchanting Arthur in order to stop this future from happening.
Morgana intended for Gwen to be banished, knowing Arthur would choose exile to be with her, but Uther ordered Gwen to be executed instead. Although this was not part of her plan, Morgana, no longer caring about Gwen's well-being, did not seem bothered by it and was annoyed and confused when Merlin thwarted her again.
Gwen, who had witnessed Morgana using magic already and had seen her with Morgause, was now firmly convinced that Morgana was no longer a friend to any of them, but they continued the pretence of civility. When Morgana was crowned Queen after Cenred's army invaded, Gwen assured Morgana that she was still loyal, but conspired with Sir Leon to escape Camelot and restore Arthur to the throne.
Morgana was furious and thought to have Gwen executed, but instead, she allowed Gwen and Leon to escape and lead her forces to Arthur's hideout. After her betrayal was exposed, a year later, Morgana, who was determined to prevent her vision of Gwen becoming Queen from coming true, attempted to kill Gwen by knocking her unconscious out in the open so the Dorocha would finish her off come nightfall.
Gaius, however, foiled her plan by saving Gwen. Morgana seemed finally victorious over Gwen by resurrecting Sir Lancelot and using him to come between Arthur and Guinevere, which led to the latter's exile. Some time later, after Gwen happened to eavesdrop on Morgana's conversation with Helios about conquering Camelot, but revealed her presence leading to Morgana coldly pursuing her through the forest.
Having caught up with her, two openly confronted each other and Morgana demonstrated her lack of feeling towards her former maid, cruelly taunting her before knocking her unconscious. She then enacted a sadistic plan to have Gwen killed not by herself, but by her lover, Arthur, enchanting her to take the shape of a deer so she would be shot and killed by Arthur's hunting party The Hunter's Heart.
When she conquered Camelot for the second time, Gwen, along with Arthur, Merlin, Tristan and Isolde , confronted Morgana and Helios in the throne room. She later fought and lost against Morgana one on one and, when she asked what she had done to deserve her hate, Morgana stated that she did not hate her for what she had done, but rather for what she was destined to do, and apologised for having to kill her, although Merlin ultimately prevented her from doing so The Sword in the Stone.
Three years later, after her imprisonment, Morgana's resentment for Guinevere stealing her throne grows even more. She ambushes Gwen and takes her to the Dark Tower with her. There, she uses mandrake roots to twist Guinevere's memories and make her believe that she is her only one true ally.
While under her control, Gwen worships Morgana and thinks of her as her one and only friend, while she loathes all her former friends The Dark Tower. Meanwhile, Morgana also hugs Gwen whenever she sees her and confesses to her secrets about her dark past, resembling the relationship the two used to share once. Although Morgana fought hard to keep Gwen under her control, Merlin, Arthur and Gwen are able to free her from Morgana's grasp, and the two do not communicate at all after this event With All My Heart.
Morgana often went to Gaius for potions that were supposed to help her with her nightmares, which were sometimes effective but more often not. Morgana admitted to Aredian that her dreams got worse when Gaius started treating them, though she insisted that this was just a coincidence.
She initially trusted Gaius a great deal, even though she told Aredian that she had no idea what he'd put in the potions, because he took care of her and his draughts were the only thing that let her get any sleep. Gaius seemed very fond of Morgana, often calling her "my child" in a grandfatherly tone, but Gaius firmly maintained that Morgana was better off ignorant about her powers, often lying to her about the importance of her dreams and powers in hopes of protecting her from Uther's hatred of magic.
He believed that the draughts, which essentially drugged her so that she could not dream, were the best treatment, and was angry when Merlin argued with him about it. Despite his fondness for Morgana, after the sleeping plague, he was quick to believe Morgana had allied herself with Morgause, despite the fact that this was not yet true.
Although he acted as if nothing had changed, Gaius helped Merlin work to thwart her plots time and time again, and when he was possessed by a goblin he told her that her heart was full of darkness. Although Gaius was not initially an object of her hatred, he finally became one of her targets once she suspected that he knew of Emrys, leading to his kidnap. Morgana showed none of her former respect and affection for Gaius and was happy to firstly torture him to extract information, then later leave him deteriorating in a cell without sufficient food.
Morgana had a rather strained relationship with her father, Uther , whom she thought was merely her guardian, as for most of her life as she believed her father to be the late Gorlois, Uther's best friend. She frequently stood up to Uther when she thought he was being unfair or cruel and was not above defying him to do what was right. Despite his affection for her, Uther was willing to punish her for such defiance, and once had her put in chains in the dungeon for challenging him.
After the death of Gwen's father, Morgana conspired with the sorcerer Tauren to kill the king, believing Camelot would be better off with Arthur on the throne, but when Uther expressed his regret over Tom's death, admitting he was arrogant and foolish, she aborted the plan at the last minute. Therefore, when Tauren attacked, she warned Uther and then ended up killing Tauren herself to save the King.
Despite his show of repentance, however, Uther continued to sentence people in his campaign against magic, and Morgana became more and more distressed, being convinced that she had been wrong to think he was capable of change. When Mordred returned, she agreed to help steal a crystal from Uther and later freed a sorcerer from the dungeons. Uther suspected her involvement, emotionally warning that whoever was responsible had betrayed him, but Morgana stayed defiant. When Morgause's sleeping plague fell over Camelot, Arthur left Morgana alone with a sleeping Uther, handing her his sword so she could protect both herself and the king, and a fearful Morgana did not act against Uther, instead choosing to stay with him and wait for Arthur to return.
After Merlin poisoned her and Morgause stole her away, Uther was distraught, blaming himself. He then spent a year deploying his army at the cost of a great many men in an attempt to find her. When Morgana returned to Camelot, already planning on bringing on Uther's downfall, she pretended to respect and love Uther, yet secretly rejected any kind of Uther's affection and fatherly love towards her, even when he confessed in tears his deep love for her in front of the court during a feast that was held to celebrate her safe return.
As a matter of fact, she felt great pleasure in tormenting Uther with a mandrake root, a magical tool that brings the most tormenting thoughts and emotions of the victim to the surface. While Uther slowly became insane during the time that the mandrake root influenced him, suffering tremendously from past events of his life, Morgana plotted with Morgause and King Cenred against Camelot which resulted in an an attack by Cenred's army.
When Merlin found out about the mandrake root and removed it, Morgana tried to place another one under his bed in order to keep Uther suffering but was interrupted by Gaius. After Camelot successfully parried off the attack, Morgana kept pretending to be Uther's loving ward and used his trust against him because in fact, she hated Uther beyond belief.
When Morgause finally conquered Camelot, Uther was captured and brought to the throne room on his knees, where he said Morgause had no right to the throne. Uther finally discovered Morgana's treachery when Morgana stepped out, agreeing with Uther's words and asserting her own royal right. Morgana told him she had known he was her father for some time, and while the guards held him on his knees, Uther watched his daughter be crowned Camelot's new queen.
Later, locked in the dungeons and witnessing the execution of peasants through the bars, Uther begged Morgana to kill him instead of innocent people, but she said he would live until she was satisfied with the amount of suffering he experienced as her revenge for his numerous crimes against those with magic.
She then left Uther in the dungeons to rot, stopping only to confirm that she hated him beyond his ability to understand, which prompted a complete mental breakdown to the point where Uther was no longer able to act fully as king, leaving Arthur to serve as regent. Over the next year, Uther did not recover from his breakdown over Morgana's betrayal and became greatly weakened.
In a last display of courage, Uther fought to protect himself and his son but was fatally stabbed in the process. When Morgana learnt that Uther was mortally wounded, she expressed cold pleasure and claimed she hoped her face would haunt him in his final moments. She also actively caused her father's death when she was informed that Arthur planned to use magic to save Uther by enchanting a necklace to reverse any healing spell and worsen the ailment tenfold.
Despite causing Uther's death as she had planned for so long, she was left still unsatisfied and said that there would only be cause for celebration when she seized control over Camelot. She also told Agravaine that she had felt her father's pain as he died and was seemingly disturbed by the sensation; whether this means she felt any remorse or simply sensed it through her magic is unknown.
Morgana protectively reassures Mordred. Morgana developed an almost immediate close bond with the Druid boy, Mordred , after Merlin sneaked him into the castle when the soldiers were searching for him. She sheltered him while guards searched the castle and tended to his wounds, sympathising with him as Uther's men hunted him. She was protective of Mordred to the extent that she attempted to smuggle him out of Camelot, stating that she was risking her life because there was a "bond" between them like nothing she had ever felt before.
Their first escape attempt was ultimately foiled by Arthur, who had no choice but to turn them in since there were witnesses, but he later helped Morgana get the boy safely back to his people The Beginning of the End.
Morgana's bond with Mordred was further cemented when she stayed with the Druids to learn about her developing powers, but their time with one another was cut short when guards stormed the camp. As the druids tried to flee with her, Morgana was visibly concerned with Mordred's safety, and he was reluctant to leave her behind, but in the end he escaped while Morgana returned to Camelot with Arthur The Nightmare Begins. The two were not reunited until Mordred came into the care of the sorcerer Alvarr, who found him after the Druid massacre, and Alvarr used his close relationship with Morgana to convince her to steal the Crystal of Neahtid from the vaults of Camelot.
Morgana's initial agreement was solely for Mordred's sake, as she wanted Alvarr to get the boy out of Camelot before they were caught, and when she delivered the crystal to their camp Mordred ran to embrace her. They were separated again when Morgana had to return to Camelot, but Kilgharrah warned Merlin that Morgana and Mordred shared a destiny and would one day form a dark alliance against Camelot The Witch's Quickening.
Morgana meets with Mordred many years later, after she has become a High Priestess of the Old Religion. Although she is ruthless towards her past friends, her affection for Mordred has not faded away, as she shows genuine affection and relief when she finds out he is alive. However, the feelings are not mutual, as Mordred has grown cold towards Morgana, in comparison to his former bond with her.
When Morgana has Arthur at her mercy, Mordred stabs her in the back and pushes her aside, which completely ruins their relationship, as Morgana looks hurt and betrayed, while Mordred does not have have any sympathy left for her Arthur's Bane. When they later meet again, Morgana wakes him up and wants to know why Mordred betrayed her. She reminds him of how Arthur would react if he knew, but believing in Arthur, Mordred replies that one day Arthur will change his mind about magic and refuses to tell her where Emrys is.
Morgana tries to kill him, but Mordred in turn criticises her for so casually being willing to kill one of her own kind, and wishes that she someday finds the love and compassion which used to fill her heart. This greatly distresses Morgana, and Mordred finds the chance to knock her out with a spell, leaving her to die With All My Heart. However their relationship is repaired when Mordred, having lost faith in Arthur, after the execution of his love Kara by his men, goes to Morgana and kneels before her, telling her that she was right about Arthur and that he will never question her judgement again.
After this, the foretold alliance happens: Morgana forges a sword equivalent to Excalibur and hands it to Mordred, calling him her proudest warrior. She is also very protective of him, using magic to defeat his enemies during the battle of Camlann. When Mordred dies in battle, Morgana is completely engulfed in hatred. She swears at his grave that she will avenge him, and does not hesitate to kill her allies when they do not bring her closer to finding Arthur, displaying that even after he betrayed her twice, she still cared for him The Diamond of the Day.
Morgana was Morgause 's younger half-sister, though for many years she had no idea of her existence since Morgause was smuggled away as a baby and given to the Priestesses of the Old Religion. Nevertheless, Morgana felt an immediate connection to her when they met during Morgause's first appearance in Camelot, and Morgause, though not revealing her identity, gave her with a bracelet that had once belonged to their mother, Vivienne, to help prevent Morgana's nightmares.
Although Morgause nearly caused Arthur to kill Uther, Morgana remained ignorant of these events since Arthur and Uther swore the witnesses to silence, and so when Morgause requested that she meet with her, Morgana agreed. During their meeting, Morgana confessed her growing hatred of Uther's regime, but had no idea Morgause intended to use her as an instrument to topple Camelot.
When Merlin discovered that Morgana was the vessel for the sleeping plague and poisoned her to stop it, Morgause abandoned her attempt to conquer Camelot in order to find out the type of poison to save her sister, evidently grieved as she held Morgana's unconscious body in her arms. Morgause then spirited Morgana away to save her, and kept Morgana in her care for a year, teaching her how to use her magic. By the time she returned to Camelot, all of Morgana's previous affections had been transferred solely to Morgause and she was completely loyal to her.
At this point Morgana seemed fully under Morgause's control, her personality shifting to become almost a copy of her sister's. Morgause, as the more experienced and worldly wise of the two, assumed a puppeteer position over Morgana, being the chief orchestrator of their regicidal schemes.
However, Morgause seemed to ostensibly treat Morgana as an equal and did genuinely care for her as she chose to save her life over destroying Camelot. Morgause had such influence over Morgana that when it was revealed that Morgana's father was in fact Uther Pendragon, she managed to convince Morgana to work towards killing Arthur, despite their long history and former deep relationship.
Morgana seemed enthralled by her sister, and even when crowned Queen of Camelot, it appeared that Morgause remained the one in control since her rule was one of cruelty, something that she had previously fought against. The depth of Morgana's attachment to Morgause was shown when the latter was seriously injured by Merlin and Gaius since Morgana was visibly distraught, and her screams of anguish proved to be powerful enough to destroy the throne room walls.
In a reversal of the previous year, Morgana escaped with Morgause in an attempt to save her. Morgana remained devoted to the now seriously deteriorated Morgause and thought nothing of attacking Knights of Camelot to protect her. Morgana showed deep reluctance and sorrow when Morgause insisted she use her as a blood sacrifice to tear the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead.
Morgana later commented that Morgause had been the last person she had to be loyal to, and her isolation after her sister's death was evident. Alvarr approached Morgana to enlist her help in stealing the Crystal of Neahtid , using Mordred as a pawn to win her over.
Morgana agreed to help primarily for Mordred's sake, but Alvarr, a con man at heart, used his charm to gain her favor. Having someone to talk with about her magic was a relief for Morgana, and Alvarr knew exactly how to play her so she felt they were kindred spirits, despite the fact that he had a woman in his band. Morgana delivered the crystal to Alvarr and then returned to Camelot, and Alvarr's lover commended him on how well he played the Lady Morgana, which Alvarr did not seem to regret since it achieved his goal.
Indeed, it paid off further for Alvarr when Morgana returned to warn him that Arthur's men were marching on their encampment, although she would have likely come regardless to ensure that Mordred escaped. When Alvarr intended to ambush and kill the knights, Morgana was horrified and said he could not kill them all, commenting that he need only fight to escape, clearly worried about Arthur and the knights she knew to be good men. Alvarr did fight but was captured and brought back to Camelot where Uther ordered him to be executed at dawn.
Morgana was furious and told Uther she saw him for what he really was and that she disowned him, before using the sleeping draught Gaius prepared for her to drug the dungeon guards, allowing Alvarr to escape. Though he was shamelessly using her for his own purposes, Alvarr seemed genuinely humbled when she freed him and was evidently grateful for all she had done.
It was not made clear how Morgana felt about her mother, Vivienne , as little mention was made of her, which would suggest that she possessed few memories of her. Gorlois was probably the person that Morgana felt closest to during her early childhood.
When he left to go to battle, at some point he called to Uther for reinforcements. However, Uther failed to deliver them and so Gorlois was outnumbered and killed. Morgana was only ten years old at the time and did not a great many memories of Gorlois when he died. She, ten years later, told Uther at her father's graveside that she only knew that she loved him and that he was taken from her.
Morgana blamed Uther for his death, believing that if he had sent the promised reinforcements, he may have survived. She later discovered she was the result of Uther's betrayal of Gorlois in having an affair with Vivienne, which was revealed when she overheard Uther's confession of her true parentage. Morgana and Agravaine. Agravaine served as Morgana's spy in Camelot and was loyal to her due to his sister Igraine's death as a result of Uther's actions, though Morgana did not seem to return this loyalty as she once told Merlin that, after Morgause's death, she had no one left to be loyal to A Servant of Two Masters.
Agravaine often visited her in her hut to feed her information about what was happening in Camelot and helped her murder Uther Pendragon The Wicked Day. Although she displayed no affection towards Agravaine, he was shown to care deeply about her, exhibiting deep concern upon finding her unconscious in the forest after her duel with Merlin disguised as the aged sorcerer Emrys and tending to her in her vulnerable state The Secret Sharer.
In a deleted scene Agravaine mentioned that he had professed his love to Morgana, to which she seemed disgusted by. Whether Morgana actually felt any gratitude for his care is unknown, though it seemed unlikely as she appeared to view him as a lackey and took his servitude for granted.
On the occasions where Agravaine succeeded in carrying out her wishes, she would at times bestow icy congratulation, but often she would merely retort with biting sarcasm and further orders The Hunter's Heart. Later on, when their plans to conquer Camelot came to fruition, However, she did profess her gratitude for his loyalty when he came to her for the last time before going after Arthur on her orders and commented that if he succeeded, he need never leave her side again.
When Helios reported that Kilgharrah had killed all of Agravaine's men, Morgana asked about his well being and when she learnt of his death, she was clearly shaken, whether because she was mourning his death, or because she was simply afraid for herself The Sword in the Stone.
Morgana Pendragon with Helios by her side. At some point Helios entered into an alliance with Morgana and seemed quite familiar with her, plotting to besiege Camelot alongside her. Helios appeared to be on more equal ground with Morgana than others such as Agravaine , presumably since he was in control of a sizable army himself. He took certain liberties with Morgana and seemed attracted to her, commenting that he would hold her to her promise of rewarding him once Camelot was conquered.
Though Agravaine had warned Morgana she could not trust Helios, Helios did not show any signs of intending to betray Morgana and continued to ensure her well-being. Helios also displayed a protectiveness of Morgana when her powers failed her and Arthur was launching a counter-attack, pushing her behind him and taking on Arthur himself. Aithusa saved Morgana's life after she was wounded while escaping from Camelot The Sword in the Stone.
This act caused Morgana to form a close bond with the young Dragon and also showed that although she was evil she was still capable of love since she genuinely cared about Aithusa. Aithusa was living with Morgana three years later and Morgana displayed affection for her treating her like a pet Arthur's Bane.
Morgana often sends Aithusa on missions, normally to kill Arthur but on all of the occasions she does this, Aithusa is stopped by Merlin's ability to command Dragons With All My Heart.
Despite Merlin's Dragonlord powers however, Aithusa was very loyal to Morgana and never showed any signs of betraying her even when under Merlin's influence. Morgana clearly loved Aithusa very much and it was revealed by Sarrum that the young Dragon was her greatest weakness The Hollow Queen. Morgana also uses Aithusa to create a sword which she gives to Mordred so that he can use it to kill Arthur.
It is unknown what happens to Aithusa after Merlin runs Morgana through with Excalibur. Morgana was a seer and thus was able to see visions of the future in her dreams.
She often suffered from prophetic nightmares as a result of this ability, initially largely revolving around Arthur Pendragon's death. She also had some level of telepathy as she was the only person other than Merlin able to hear Mordred speaking mentally The Beginning of the End. Morgana was also a very powerful sorceress and High Priestess of the Old Religion as well as a highly trained swordswoman. Though initially Morgana's powers were raw and uncontrolled, resulting in her inadvertently setting her room alight and shattering a vase, in the year spent with Morgause, Morgana's skill with magic improved greatly and she gained control over her abilities.
However, she admitted that her magic was still considerably weaker than Morgause's The Tears of Uther Pendragon , many of her spells relying on her using an object of some sort — such as when she tried to kill Arthur by using a phoenix eye - as the central focus for the spell rather than simply conjuring something on her own.
When Morgause was wounded by Gaius and Merlin, Morgana displayed tremendous magical power by bringing the whole room crashing down with an emotionally-driven magical outpouring. Her grief for Morgause augmented her powers to an extremely high degree, although it is unknown to what extent she was actually in control of the magic The Coming of Arthur: Part Two.
One year later, Morgana's magical powers had grown under Morgause 's continued tutelage, and she finally became a High Priestess of the Old Religion. She showed very powerful magic when she was able to swiftly defeat four Knights of Camelot , killing two of them.
Later on she was able to perform a difficult ritual to tear the Veil between the worlds. Morgana repeatedly cast powerful magic that incapacitated her opponents instantly, leaving her largely free to pass in and out of Camelot. After Mordred tells Morgana that Merlin is Emrys, the sorceress decides to strip the warlock of his magic so that he would be rendered useless in the final battle.
With no other option, Merlin is forced to abandon Arthur's side as he tries to restore his powers. However, Morgana has one final trick up her sleeve as she ambushes him in the Crystal Cave, where he remains powerless and entrapped. If it wasn't for Balinor's spirit, she would have successfully broken his spirit and possibly won the war. In this episode, Arthur and the knights of the round table plan to take Camelot back from Morgana.
As expected, it's not an easy challenge, especially when they realize Morgana is in control of an immortal army. As Arthur and the knights head to the dungeons, Merlin and Lancelot decide to stop Morgana's army by going after the Cup of Life. However, Merlin runs into another problem when he sees Morgause protecting it. As a result, Merlin ends up severely injuring Morgause by blasting her into a pillar - much to Morgana's devastation. Morgana hadn't always been heartless.
However, she ended up hurting Merlin in some of the worst ways when he realized she was responsible for many of his friends' deaths.
For example, although she didn't do it herself, Morgana was inadvertently responsible for Lancelot's death when the knight sacrificed himself to fix her mistake. Morgana also committed an unforgivable act when she killed Gwaine after relentlessly torturing him "The Diamond of The Day". If Merlin believed she could be redeemed, there was no chance of that happening after this.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that the worst thing Merlin had ever done is to kill her. After Morgana realizes that Arthur was still alive and with Merlin, she decides to hunt them down once and for all.
As soon as she finds them, Morgana wastes no time in attacking Merlin. Believing the warlock to be incapacitated, Morgana turns her attention to her brother and taunts him about his failure. However, she fails to notice Merlin creep up behind her with Excalibur.
As a result of her incompetence, she is killed immediately. The worst thing Morgana ever did to Merlin was when she caused him to fail his destiny.
