CHARACTER
✧ NAME: Arthur Pendragon
✧ SERIES: Merlin
✧ HISTORY: Here and here
✧ TIMELINE: Season 3, episode 13 'The Coming of Arthur'
✧ PERSONALITY:
Arthur at first came across as spoiled and somewhat of a bully and Gwen called him a "rough, tough, save the world" type of man with Arthur and Merlin (his new manservant) being at odds a lot. But it didn't take long for Arthur to grow attached to Merlin and value his company although he did like to point out at every opportunity that Merlin was incompetent and the worst manservant Arthur had ever seen. Merlin though began to influence Arthur and he slowly became less of a bully and more a man of the people and nicer all around. It's worth noting though that Arthur is very caring; he tends not to put it across or show this around others.
Arthur is undeniably brave and willing to take risks - he put his life on the line to save Merlin and then again to save Gwen and he will speak out against what he considers to be injustice even if that means defying his father, King Uther Pendragon. He loves Camelot and its people and when his actions meant Camelot was cursed, he was devastated by this news.
He can hide his true feelings and carry out orders for his father even if he disagrees with him because he his father is King and Arthur will obey him. Arthur is in love with Gwen and has spoken of this and about her passionately in the past but he had not told her how deeply he loved her. When he finally did, she had no idea as she thought that he thought of her only as a servant but he says that he cannot be with her as she is a servant and he is a Prince and, though he might wish it, he does not believe she will or should wait for him. Merlin is also another person Arthur cares deeply for and this is shown through their banter and insults and Arthur is grateful for his company and the rare moments where Merlin displays what Arthur is loathe to call wisdom.
✧ ABILITIES/POWERS:
Arthur is a skilled and experienced swordsman despite his young age and knows how to wield a variety of weapons, command the Knights of Camelot and fight on swordback too. He's great at jousting too and horse riding. Oh and hunting. He's good at hunting.

The problem with being crown Prince of Camelot was that you walked around with an invisible target painted on your back and chest courtesy of those who wanted your position, to hurt Uther or to get revenge on Uther, some of them probably hoping to unseat the king too. It was why Arthur had found himself in many situations and it would be easy to begrudge Uther but his father had done all he had out of love, especially when magic was concerned. Which was why, when magic was used, that things were just that bit worse. Which was how he found himself in his current predicament. Or so he assumed because there was no other explanation for finding himself in the dark in what looked like wholly unfamiliar surroundings. He knew the woods of Camelot and neighbouring kingdoms, had known them for years and he'd spent a year searching everywhere for Morgana in every possible place before he'd returned to his distraught father.
Or rather, their father.
Maybe it had been Morgana although he couldn't recall seeing her. In fact, he couldn't recall anything out of the ordinary happening to him at all. He'd had a normal day, training with the knights, new and old, helping his father get back on his feet, shouting at Merlin who was either busy talking to Gwaine and Lancelot or nowhere to be seen when he was needed. He'd fallen into bed at the end of the day, exhausted and had been asleep the second his head hit the pillow. And when he had woken, it had been on hard ground, in near gloom surrounded by trees with odd glowing lights that had to be the work of magic.
"Merlin?" He called out as he got to his feet and thankfully he was dressed, in armour and cloak, sword with him rather than in the trousers he slept in. No response. "Merlin!" Louder, more forceful and angry this time but still nothing. He had no idea where he was, what direction he should travel in and he was entirely on his own from what he could gather unless Merlin was lying unconscious in a ditch. Because if they'd both been here, Merlin would have been left while Arthur had been taken so they could make their outrageous demands or imprison him or kill him. He sighed and scrubbed a hand over his face, frowning and squinting. Hopefully he was setting out in a Northernly direction, trying to keep quiet lest he catch unwanted attention but it was dark and hard going and he stumbled, swearing and grumping all the way.
