Merlin MBTI性格类型
背景
Before there was Dumbledore... before there was Elminster... before there was Gandalf... there was Merlin. The original bearded old wizard (unless you're counting Odin), this character was added to the Arthurian mythos around 1100 AD. Merlin — sometimes called Ambrosius in older sources — was the trusted advisor and surrogate parental figure to King Arthur. In one legend, Merlin was intended to be an Antichrist figure, begotten on a virgin by the Devil. His mother, however, had the boy baptized at birth, freeing him from the Devil's influence. His demonic heritage gave him the ability to see into the past and future, a gift that is often carried over to versions that do not include this origin story. In most tellings of Arthur's origin story, Merlin's magic helped Uther Pendragon seduce and bed another man's wife (Igraine), leading to the conception of Arthur, whom he prophesized would be a great king. In return, Merlin was given the baby boy, who he raised into a king.
