The story follows the young wizard Merlin, who goes to live with his uncle [[TheObiWan Gaius]], Camelot's greatest physician. Merlin hopes to find a way to use his powers for good but finds that King Uther, ruler of Camelot, has banned magic and executes anyone found practicing it. Merlin saves the life of Prince Arthur, Uther's son, from an evil witch and is "rewarded" with a position as Arthur's servant. Merlin also encounters the Great Dragon, who prophecies that Arthur will someday create the fair and just kingdom of Albion and tasks Merlin with protecting him. Merlin must use magic to combat [[MonsterOfTheWeek magical enemies]] while keeping his true nature a secret.
Other main characters include Morgana and Guinevere. Morgana is Uther's ward and the daughter of his late friend Gorlois. She struggles with visions of the future and her emerging magical powers, which gradually turns her against Uther. Guinevere works as Morgana's servant and eventually becomes Arthur's main love interest.

** Though when you think about it, there are quite a few explanations for the 'deaths' of those knights: it could merely be a dramatic subversion of EarlyBirdCameo by in turn averting the OneSteveLimit, or the legends of Arthur's court be rather inaccurate, or perhaps one or two of those knights could end up being ressurrected (without turning evil) later on.
