User blog:Sir Dagonet the jester/Great one-off villains

I was thinking of the best one-off villains in the show. My list won't include Alvarr because I think he was meant for one more appearance at least. Absent will be also Ruadan becuse he appeared in two epsidoes.

4. Myror - he was a skillful and cold character. Just as an assassin should be. He had this cool/swagg aura. He could be charming, when he needed to be and was inventive and smart. A great foil for Merlin as far as non-magical adversaries go.

3.The Witchfinder - he had a plethora of wicked qualities - ruthless, egotistical, deceptive and arrogant. He had a striking. if anahcronistic look to him and was very good at his job, which was, surprisingly, finding witches and warlocks.

2. The Gleeman - another very skilled assassin who tried to kill Arthur. He was very creative and cold character. What puts him so high on my list is the impact which his actions had on the series (the chain of events leading to the death of Uther).

1.Edwin Muirden - From the start, his look is iconic, his skills were formidable this early in Merlin's career. He was very methodical, manipulative - making Merlin trust him one moment, and threatening Gaius with exposing the young warlock the next. One of the things that makes Muirden such a good villain is his tragical origins. However, they are not enough t oearn him sympathy. Edwin Muirden is irrevocably bitter and evil man who elicits fear and hatred from the audience.
