Thomas James Collins was a warlock, and the son of the witch, Mary Collins. He was accused of using magic and enchantments. This ended in his execution.

Biography[]

He was publicly executed under the order of King Uther Pendragon when it was discovered that he was a sorcerer. After Thomas's execution, Thomas's mother, Mary, publicly swore that she would get her revenge and declared that she would assassinate Uther's son, Arthur, before teleporting out of Camelot using magic. This assassination attempt, however, eventually led to her own death (The Dragon's Call).

Trivia[]

  • It is unknown whether or not Thomas Collins actually practiced witchcraft. Given Uther's general overreaction to any charge of sorcery and his hasty treatment of such cases, it is possible that Collins was wrongly executed. It is, however, possible that he was a sorcerer considering his mother did actually practice magic, and she may have tutored him in the art.
