Merlin, the legendary wizard of Camelot, appears in Fate/Grand Order as a playful, globe-trotting adviser who heals spirits and lights the path of travelers. The Prototype version captures an earlier stage of his design and philosophy: a magician who, while still developing his public persona, embodies the same limitless curiosity and mastery of magic. In the narrative of FGO, Merlin acts as a guide to the Chaldea team, offering foresight, illusions, and a calm, ironic humor that defuses danger and reveals hidden truths. He is both a friend to the heroes and a trickster who tests them, often appearing where a solution seems impossible. The Prototype line emphasizes the roots of his artistry, showing his meticulous preparation, experimental attire, and quiet confidence. This figure invites fans to imagine the character’s journey from apprenticeship to legendary mage, celebrating his role as a mentor, ally, and enigmatic storyteller within the Fate universe.
