マーリンは、灰色のひげを生やした伝説の魔法使いであり、神々と同等になった獣と森の支配者であるアーサー王の指導者です。マーリンは、一般的に英語圏の文化に深刻な影響を与えた英国の神話で最も重要な人物の1人であると考えているため、英国人はマーリンの形容詞を軽蔑しません。
すでに中世には、マーリンのイメージがとても愛されていたので、文字通りファンフィクションが書かれていました。13世紀には、誰もそのような言葉を知りませんでした。

"Thus with these deeds and the favor the the clergy and people,
the kingdom and its crown were given to Ambrosius,
and thereafter he ruled by treating everyone justly.
However, with the days improving over a period of twenty years,
he was betrayed by a doctor and died from drinking poison.

Merlin possessed all the wisdom that can come from demons, which is why he was so feared by the Bretons and so revered that everyone called him a holy prophet and the ordinary people all called him their god.

As often happens with such highly coveted awards, Ministry of Magic favourites seem to receive the Order of Merlin, especially the higher classes, more often than one might expect. While nobody argued when Albus Dumbledore received his O.M. (First Class) for defeating the Dark wizard Grindelwald, there was a good deal of muttering in the wizarding community when Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic, awarded himself an O.M. (First Class) for a career that many considered less than distinguished.

— This Stranger, this Merlin, is a minion of the Tower? Like yourself?
— Much greater than I. It has been given to him to live backward in time. He darkles. He tincts. He is in all times. Yet there is one greater than he.
