From Gaius's story, Alice seems to be inoccent. But you can't blame Uther as you know his hunger for the annihilation of sorcerors good and bad in Camelot. But the Manticore on the other hand, pfft. Sneaky little creature. Gaius felt sorry for her and still wanted to help her, even though she was being forced by the Manticore to get to Uther.

Most people would think "Well, Uther deserved it, he kills anyone that has magic". Well, that wouldn't make Arthur so different to his father if he was suspected to have died of that cause. I've always been interested in Gaius's early life, and the story of him and Alice was very cool to hear.

But as always, Merlin and Gaius agree to help eachother out, no matter the price. Although Gaius can be wrong at times with Merlin's decisions, I've never once doubted his intelligence on the use of Dark Magic and how he can identify so many diseases and uses of sorcery in defensive and offensive ways.

Without Gaius, Merlin would not have the strength to make Arthur the Once and Future King. This is a good example of how useful and important Gaius really is to the story:
