Merlin

Merlin (Mārin マーリン) was the elderly wizard who was in a party set out to kill the Monster Lord Alice XV. Along with Marcellus, Lazarus, and Karen, he realized Alice XV's wishes for coexistence and were preparing to spread her dreams.

However, a young Alice XVI spotted her deceased mother and killed Merlin and Karen out of blind rage, prompting Marcellus and Lazarus to start Ilias Kreuz.

He can be recruited along with Lazarus in Part 2 during the Grangold siege.

It is unknown how he survived and now the Don Father in Monster Girl Quest Paradox.
