Changes: Daegal

Revision as of 05:22, 27 November 2012

Daegal is a supposed to be a druid boy, and comes to Camelot asking Merlin for help. He appears in the episode The Hollow Queen. ^[1] According to recent articles Daegal is said to trap Merlin in a cave while Sarrum, Gwen, and Morgana are unleashing an evil plot on Camelot. It is unknown if Daegal will be aiding them.

History

He used to have a mother who was a druid but she was killed by Uther when Daegal was quite young.

The Hollow Queen

Before the events of The Hollow Queen, Daegal met Morgana and decided to work with Morgana before he arrives in Camelot. He knows both her and the queen, so is pardoned when out after hours. He goes to Merlin, who is in the kitchens preparing a bath for Guinevere. Daegal shows him a druid mark on his arm, and tells Merlin that he has a sister suffering from the sweating sickness, in the Valley of the Fallen Kings . He tries to pursuade Merlin, and is told to wait at the Darkling Woods at first light.

The pair take a whole day to reach the Valley of the Fallen Kings. However, it was a trap for Merlin because Morgana did not want him meddling in her schemes. After Merlin was knocked out, Daegal was paid with a small amount of coins by Morgana and walked away.

The next night, Daegal returns to Merlin, and with remorse, attempts to save his life (which he does do successfully with Merlin's instructions). Daegal then explains to Merlin, Morgana and Gwen's plan to assassinate Arthur so Merlin slowly gets up and, with Daegal by his side, makes it back to Camelot.

They arrive back in Camelot just in time for the signing of the peace treaty and follow Albin to where he was about to shoot Arthur with a crossbow. Merlin fights him with magic, directing arrows all over the place. Unfortunately, Daegal gets hits by an arrow and dies slowly with Merlin by his side.

Personality

At first, it seemed that Daegal was only working for Morgana for money because it was tough to earn money in his life. Half-way through the episode he had a change of heart and decided to save Merlin's life as Merlin showed him many instances of kindness that not many others have.

Skills and Abilities

After travelling with Merlin for almost three days, Merlin teaches Daegal some physician abilities.

Trivia

It is unlikely that Daegal had any magic since he could not hear Merlin's voice when he was being spoken telepathically to and he did not know Merlin had magic.
