Uther Pendragon Ygraine Pendragon (ne de Bois) Arthur Pendragon Guinevere Pendragon Morgana Pendragon . When Agravaine opens the siege tunnels beneath the city, a small detachment of her army passes through into the lower town which soon falls to her forces. As Arthur left, Morgana notices a nervous Merlin at the door and calls him inside, telling him she knows he poisoned her, and in response, he swears he did not want to, to which she smiles faintly and informs him she understands why he does it. 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). As your father did in his time. In contemporary versions of the legend, Merlin is almost always depicted as good. With Arthur dead, Morgana will be able to ascend to the throne of Camelot. Mordred The character of Mordred, the treacherous nephew, is based upon the first-century-BC king Mandubracius of the Trinovantes (in Essex), a prince who betrayed his uncle to Julius Caesar. One of the sole reasons Morgana turned into a villain was because she was corrupted by Morgause. And as for why Morgana came to hate Arthur: several reasons. Morgana, who was once a nice person, became evil after being corrupted by Morgause and betrayed by her former friend Merlin. Arthur arrives to find Cenred holding Morgana hostage with a sword to her throat, and Morgause attempts to hit Arthur with a deadly spell, but Merlin explodes her spell, incapacitating Cenred and Morgause, and drags Morgana away. She then kills Tauren, the assassin, just before he strikes Uther down and Merlin kills the other sorcerers involved (To Kill the King). During the time in which Arthur is to be forced into marrying a princess, Morgana notices that he and Gwen have fallen in love (The Changeling). In the aftermath, there is no sign of either Morgana or Morgause in the rubble, indicating that Morgana used magic to escape with Morgause (The Coming of Arthur). 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. She stands over Gwen, promising she will see Arthur again, but then enchants her to transform her into a deer. Morgana has dark brown wavy hair which sometimes appears to be black in a certain light. Her relationship to Arthur varies but usually she is introduced as Arthur's half-sister, the daughter of his mother Igraine and her first husband Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall. 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. She is a highly isolated and darkened character who resembles her biological father far more than she cares to admit since she, like Uther Pendragon, has suffered greatly on an emotional level and is unwilling to let go of past suffering. All too soon Uther's secrets come to light and suddenly all of Morgana, Arthur and Merlin's certainties fall apart when they find out that all they knew about their lives is nothing more than a well-constructed lie. Knowing that Accolons sword was the true Excalibur, Arthur seized it and quickly defeated Accolon, who then realised Morgans plot. I've been watching the Merlin series on Netflix lately and I've been dying to draw my own version of King Arthur and Morgana. A year passes by in Camelot with Uther sending his men to scour the kingdom in search of Morgana, costing an ever-increasing number of lives as the soldiers are slaughtered by unseen forces, but Uther refuses to give up or see reason. He knows all our plans. Merlin, though disadvantaged by his frail and aged physical form, manages to secure the Fomorroh having defeated and seriously wounded Morgana. She was also able to take direct hits from Merlin's magic on several occasions, one of which involved her falling down some stairs and cracking her skull. However, the feelings are not mutual, as Mordred has grown cold towards Morgana, in comparison to his former bond with her. Morgana uses the Rowan Staff to bring the skeletons to life. Of course ultimately Gwen did become Queen and Morgana did die at Merlins hand. The two, along with the Saxons, begin their final fight against Camelot. 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. Her bitterness over her father's death and Uther's pivotal role in it causes her great turmoil and ambivalence towards her guardian. She goes by many other names in the Arthurian stories, including Morgana . Gaius later realises that the only way to completely get rid of the Fomorroh is to kill the mother beast, which he informs Merlin of after paralyzing the creature temporarily and giving Merlin back his mind. 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). Gaius, however, foiled her plan by saving Gwen. 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. She enters as he talks to a captured Mithian and Rodor, and makes a deal with him: he will help her conquer Camelot, and she will help him kill the man he wants most: Arthur Pendragon. UPDATE: One-shot extended into a full-length fic, completed. Uther was a curse upon this land, as is his son. Morgana Pendragon was the illegitimate daughter of Uther Pendragon, the second daughter and the youngest child of Vivienne, the elder paternal half-sister of Arthur, the younger maternal half-sister of Morgause and the adopted daughter of Gorlois.

When necessary, she also displays her courage and ability as a fighter, always intervening to stand up for what she feels is right. Although after mastering her magical powers, Morgana rarely chose to fight with a sword, instead defeating her opponents magically, Morgana remained just as good with a sword, as she could effortlessly defeat several knights to escape the castle when her powers were blocked by Merlin, only suffering an injury upon being caught by surprise and she still struck the guard down with a single blow despite being stabbed in the side. Gaius former good opinion of Morgana was stripped away and he was highly suspicious of her when she returned. She even sent the Green Knight to Camelot in order to frighten Guinevere to death. 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.

Arthur and Morgana, in one of Camelot's feasts for Arthur's victory. . As she is about to finish him off, Mordred stabs her in the back, and Morgana painfully looks at the friend who betrayed her, before losing consciousness. 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). . As punishment and to ensure their compliance, Morgana allows her army to execute peasants, a cold warning that any treason the knights' attempt will be unleashed on the innocents of Camelot. Arthur tries to remind Morgana of her true self. Morgana wakes him up, asking him why he betrayed her and demanding to know who Emrys is. Does Morgana find out that Merlin is Emrys? 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. Nonetheless, Arthur and Morgana can not reconcile and Morgana accuses Arthur of being too much like his father in his hatred of magic, while Arthur retorts that she too resembles Uther in her cruelty. Hurt and angry that he lied to her all her life and feeling he disowned her to uphold his reputation as "the perfect king", she retrieves the dagger Arthur gave her for her birthday, intending to kill Uther that very night. As a young girl, she often practiced swordplay with her childhood companion, Arthur, and according to her, used to beat him with a sword, though he would later deny this. 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). "Sister, Arthur has found out, surely he will tell Uther. Many nods to the history of the series are given - Gwen returns to the medical room and servant status as she tends to the wounded, before taking control of the Kingdom; Arthur reflects on his. Assuming the guise of a substitute principal Miss Blackheart, Morgana tries to seduce the now 15-year-old Arthur in his school but fails, foiled by his girlfriend Gwen. Later, when Morgause sneaks into Camelot to see her, a bitter Morgana reveals her discovery. Morgana casting a stunning spell on Emrys. 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. Morgana was also a very powerful sorceress and High Priestess of the Old Religion as well as a highly trained swordswoman. Morgana's scheme succeeds, despite Merlin becoming aware of her use of necromancy, and, having witnessed Gwen's betrayal, Arthur exiles her. After learning Merlin's secret, Morgana is extremely surprised. You're wrong. Guinevere was the wife of King Arthur, the legendary ruler of Britain. Your email address will not be published. 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).
