Merlin

"Old man Merlin's head was cut off in the first attack..." - Lazarus

Merlin (Mārin マーリン) was the elderly wizard who was in a party set out to kill Monster Lord Alice XV. Along with Marcellus, Lazarus, and Karen, they realized too late of Alice XV's wishes for coexistence, and then sought to make amends for their horrible mistake.

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

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

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