Trickler

"I should have realised he had magic. No one can make butterflies appear from thin air."

- Merlin on Trickler The Trickler is the jester of King Alined, by whom he's always ill-treated and threatened. He was the one responsible for enchanting Arthur Pendragon and Lady Vivian which caused them to fall in love with each other.

Biography
Trickler has magical powers and a certain attitude for love spells. In fact, under Alined 's orders, he created a love potion to make Arthur and the lady Vivian fall in love with each other. King Olaf, Vivian's over-protective father, challenged Arthur, causing Camelot to be on the brink of war, just as Alined had hoped. Anyway, when Gwen kissed Arthur and the enchantment was broken, the Prince made peace with Olaf. Alined considered Trickler responsible for this and, after having chained him to his horse, made him run all the way home (Sweet Dreams).

Abilities
Trickler shows a certain powerful magic. One night at a banquet, he amazed the court with his skills (not revealing he had magic), spitting fire out of his mouth and making butterflies appear out of nowhere, without anyone even realising he was using magic(however it is possible that he did not use magic on that occasion, since he was also the king's jester). His love potion was so powerful that not even Merlin was able to break the spell. Uther didn's suspect the use of magic in either occasion.

Personality and Traits
Trickler is an extremely odd and comical character, making strange comments and slightly creepy faces while humming off key. He has a great fear of his master, King Alined, stating that he didn't want to lose his head because it was his prettiest feature.
