Yeah he was, but the show 'Merlin' is known to make small and sometimes ironic tweaks. Like in the legend Agravaine is Arthur's nephew, whereas in the show it was vice versa. And in the legend Nimueh was the lady of the lake, whereas in the show they decided to skip that and make it Freya instead. They don't intend for the show to be 100% like the legend.
