User blog:Merlaa/Is Kilgharah realy wise?

I know that he lived more than a thousand years and he is aware of the prophecies, but is he realy wise or everyone trusts him just because he is old?

Merlin always asked for his guidance and trusted him, but when he let him free, he attacked Camelot putting even Arthur in danger even when he knew that he must survive for the old ways to come back. He also knew the prophecies well, but still he adviced Merlin to do or not do some things so that they cannot be fulfilled. He said though that no one can escape his destiny. Then why was he trying to make Merlin do some things to prevent it? For example, he knew about Morgana's destiny and that he could not prevent it, but he told Merlin not to reveal to Morgana that she has magic and finally he even adviced him to kill her. AND THAT'S WHAT MADE THE STUPID PROPHECY COME TRUE! He told Merlin that Arthur cannot die and Merlin did everything in his power to do that. But when Arthur died he told Merlin "That was you destiny, some lives are foretold. Blah blah blah..." Why didn't he tell Merlin to let him die from the begining so that none of these bad things would happen? Everyone would be happy then!

So these are only some reasons for which I believe that at the end of the day Kilgharah was just an old crow that just had some extended knowledge due to his age! What do you think? Do you think that Kilgharah is truly wise? Yes, he is. He is very smart, but he often does stupid things. He just knows about the prophecies and gives bad advices, nothing else. No, he is not. He is just an arrogant old dragon!
