When she returns, she is a different person; vengeful and more cruel, she returns determined to take revenge for beings like herself against Uther and the magic-hating Camelot. Though Morgana initially believes Arthur was a better man than his father and would be a fair ruler, she ultimately becomes more and more fixed on her belief that the Pendragons are not fit to rule Camelot and seeks to take the throne herself, despite her also being a Pendragon in blood.
She joins Morgause in her regicidal ambitions and eventually operates alone in trying to kill Arthur. Despite being motivated by her disagreement with Uther's tyrannical regime, Morgana herself lapses into a reign of cruelty during the times she rules Camelot to gain the allegiance of the people, such as executing innocent people in her first reign, and threatening to burn peasants' crops in her second reign.
Morgana also takes a sadistic pleasure in tormenting Uther and forcing Gwaine to fight for food, as well as willingly torturing Elyan for information. Despite her vindictive and unforgiving personality, however, Morgana remains a powerful, arrogant, intelligent, overconfident, and ferociously determined individual. Her darker characteristics are largely the product of external influences while her truer nature was portrayed as one of immense compassion.
This nature has arguably not disappeared due to the melancholy she sometimes showed and she does at times reveal a vulnerable side of herself, such as her shock and hurt on hearing of Agravaine's death, her deep conflict at seeing Arthur again, her fear at being rendered powerless and her elation at being healed by Aithusa.
This nature is explored more after her liberation from her prison. The time she spent with Aithusa made her more vulnerable and at times she shows her softer side to the young creature. Even at her enemies, she shows acts of kindness, as shown when she ordered her men to burn Finna's corpse after her suicide. She also displays a caring, loving side, like a mother figure towards Mordred, as he is the only one she can still consider her friend.
After turning his back on Arthur and delivering Emrys' true name to her, Mordred is the one she was able to forgive, even after he tried to kill her twice, and when he died at the hands of Arthur, she swore vengeance at her friend's grave.
From this point forward, Morgana became more sadistic, psychotic and cruel, even towards her allies, and her only goal became the death of Arthur Pendragon, which she initially realises, shortly after she is slain by Merlin. Morgana has dark brown wavy hair which sometimes appears to be black in a certain light. According to the Great Dragon, Merlin's birth had been prophesied by many cultures.
Life could be difficult in a village as small and isolated as Ealdor. But when Geoffrey of Monmouth took up the legend in , he named Mordred as Arthur's nephew, who, with Guinevere, attempts to betray him and seize his kingdom. By the thirteenth century, Mordred is named as Arthur's son—nephew by incest. So she breaks up with Arthur. No cheating , just her heart pulling her another another way. This story should have taken place over several episodes, or even seasons. In the second, Merlin's magic enables the new British king Uther Pendragon to enter into Tintagel Castle in disguise and to father his son Arthur with his enemy's wife, Igerna Igraine.
And as for why Morgana came to hate Arthur: several reasons. First and foremost, Arthur too, had killed many of her kind. She did not feel like she could trust him. Maybe if Arthur had just been nicer to her, or reached out to her, she never would've turned on him to begin with.
Without horses, Merlin cannot get Arthur to the Isle in time, and the King of Camelot dies in Merlin's arms, after thanking his friend for everything he has done. Merlin was indeed an historical figure , living in what are now the lowlands of Scotland at the end of the sixth century A.
A poem from A. When we first meet Mordred he's 11ish , and Merlin is probably around 19, maybe 20, not quite sure on that one but still, age gap! After her overthrow, Morgana was imprisoned with Aithusa by the warlord Sarrum , who wanted to erase magic from the land. She described it as seeing "nothing but darkness" Arthur's Bane:Part One. According to Sarrum, he found Morgana's weakness, which was her love for Aithusa, and used it against her; he captured the two creatures and buried them in a living grave The Hollow Queen.
After her captivity she somehow met with Ruadan. She also meets with Mordred at some point. It seems she searches for the key of wisdom, and is rather impatient to get it. She claims that for two long years she's only known darkness and that she and patience are "old friends", when Ruadan tells her to be patient.
In the meantime, Morgana, who is in command of some magical wolves, manages to enslave a big number of men and work for her, two of which are Gwaine and Percival. When she learns that Arthur is coming to ambush her, although shocked at first, she orders Ruadan to prepare for battle. In the end, she ends up ambushing Arthur and defeating his men.
However, he and Merlin manage to get away, so she angrily commands her men to find them as soon as possible Arthur's Bane:Part One. Morgana soon learns about Sefa's captivity and reassures Ruadan that her sacrifice won't be in vain. However, he rushes to save her and dies in the process. He sends Morgana a crow to inform her that Arthur is coming to her, but she should not worry. Soon after that, Morgana runs when she notices a familiar man arriving and is happy beyond words when she finds out that this man is Mordred and he is in fact alive.
She hugs him and then dines with him. She tells him that magic will soon be free, but is enraged after he reveals to her that he let Arthur go. When the latter invades her castle, Morgana has both him and Merlin at her mercy. Arthur tries to reason with her and asks what happened to her, but she tells him she grew up. As she is about to finish him off, Mordred stabs her in the back, and Morgana painfully looks at the friend who betrayed her, before losing consciousness.
Morgana somehow reaches Nemeth, which has been conquered by Odin. She enters as he talks to a captured Mithian and Rodor , and makes a deal with him: he will help her conquer Camelot, and she will help him kill the man he wants most: Arthur Pendragon.
Morgana uses an Ageing spell and visits Camelot as Hilda , Mithian's maid. There, Morgana has Mithian lure Arthur into a trap, and also constantly checks on her behavior, as the young princess tries to inform Camelot of her motives at all costs. Morgana manages to prevent each and every attempt of Mithian's until she writes her name on a stone that Merlin sees. However, Morgana is fast enough in order to knock Merlin unconscious with an unknown spell.
She manages to lead Arthur to Odin's hideout, and, as Odin is about to kill him, she reveals her true self and tells Odin that she wants the satisfaction of killing Arthur too.
As they are about to strike him down, an unknown force causes the cave to crumble, and Morgana is knocked unconscious by Merlin's Magic, although it is currently unknown if she saw him Another's Sorrow. Morgana later attempts to get Gwen to join her side and succeeds in doing so.
After Guinevere returns from visiting her father's grave, accompanied by the Knights of the Round Table, Morgana uses her powers to make a snake attack the knights and takes her chance to abduct Gwen while she is fleeing.
Morgana takes her to the Dark Tower and locks her inside a room filled with mandrake roots, which produce frightening hallucinations of her favourite people in the world.
Every now and then, Morgana would come and visit Gwen, showing her kindness and inviting her to dinner. There, Morgana sympathises with her former friend, gives her food to eat and talks to her about her own journeys during those years.
As Gwen sees more of her friends turning against her and laughing at her, Morgana slowly begins to convince her that she is her one and only friend. When Arthur and his knights arrive to save her, Morgana has prepared numerous traps to slow them down, and the final obstacle is an enchanted sword that protects Gwen.
Elyan rushes to save his sister and succeeds in doing so, sacrificing his own life in the process. However, everything is not as it seems; Gwen has believed in Morgana's words and, with the help of the mandrake roots, Gwen's loyalties now are with Morgana. Following this event, Morgana and Guinevere make numerous attempts on Arthur's life.
Morgana and Gwen often meet in the Darkling Woods and plan Arthur's downfall, as well as Gwen ruling according to what Morgana wants. Morgana goes to a merchant and asks for a poison that will kill slowly and painfully. She gets two liquids and gives them to Gwen, who successfully manages to poison Arthur with them and frame Merlin for the crime. Gwen realises Merlin is aware of her deceptions. Morgana persuades a young boy named Daegal to lure Merlin directly to her trap.
When the warlock sees her, she knocks him out with her magic, makes him drink a deadly poison and then kicks him down a cliff. When the young boy asks her why she is doing this, she tells him to not meddle with her or she will kill him too.
Later, Morgana conspires with Guinevere in order to have Arthur assassinated by his new ally, Sarrum , a powerful warlord as well as the man who imprisoned her and Aithusa for two years. Morgana also requests from Gwen one last thing: then give Sarrum a painful death, which Gwen agrees to do with pleasure. Some time later, Morgana gets a message from the Dochraid that Emrys is trying to break her control over Gwen.
Morgana asks Aithusa to help her. The two ambush Arthur's group and, although Aithusa fails to eliminate them, Morgana corners Merlin and Mordred and knocks them out with magic. Although Merlin somehow escapes, Mordred does not. Morgana wakes him up, asking him why he betrayed her and demanding to know who Emrys is. Seeing his unwillingness to help her, Morgana prepares to kill him, but Mordred confronts her with how drastically she has changed from her loving and compassionate past self.
This emotionally confounds her, which gives Mordred a chance to knock her out using magic, before he then goes on to help Merlin and Arthur save Gwen With All My Heart. As Morgana knew that Emrys broke her control over Guinevere , she demanded to know his true identity. She with a group of many men, including Beroun captured Alator of the Catha , who had betrayed her last time to demand to know where and who Emrys is. He refused to tell her who Emrys was, so he was ordered to reveal the true identity of Emrys, by being tortured by Nathair.
Alator told Morgana that if she killed him, he would walk to paradise happily, knowing that Morgana had failed. Morgana refused to kill him, she wanted him to be tortured and to suffer alive. But when Finna , who was protecting Merlin sends a letter to Alator that she found Emrys, and not to worry, Morgana discovered it right away and caused her in murdering the High Priest by breaking his neck with magic, making him unable to breathe.
After Finna got Merlin's sword, when she was wounded, Morgana and her men found her and she demanded to know from her where Emrys is. She refused to tell and killed herself before Morgana could kill her. When Mordred 's love interest, Kara , is sentenced to death for plotting against Camelot, Mordred is brought. After escaping from his jail cell he decides to visit Morgana, and is brought by two Saxons into her throne room.
She does not welcome Mordred at first, as she knows that he tried to kill her during their last met, but when he apologises for what he has done, tells her the key to lead to Arthur's downfall she starts to understand him. Mordred also claims that there is one person who kept stopping her from bringing down Camelot. Morgana knows that its Emrys and Mordred reveals his true identity, that he lives in Camelot, and it is Merlin 's druid name The Drawing of the Dark.
Morgana and Mordred officially declare war at Camelot after they make sure Merlin cannot be a threat to their plans. Morgana uses a magical weapon which sucks his magic, rendering him useless to protect Arthur. Immediately after that, she and Mordred summon a meteor to attack the enemy forces, which annihilated Camelot's defense. She uses Aithusa's breath to forge a sword for her proudest warrior, Mordred, so he can kill Arthur with it.
She also uses a woman named Eira as a spy. After the woman gains Gwaine's sympathy, she gains information about Camelot and especially Arthur and Merlin and tells everything to Morgana. After she learns that Merlin plans to go to the Crystal Cave to get his magic back, she plans to end him once and for all. She follows him inside the cave and toys with him, until he finds her and slashes her with a sword. Although in pain, Morgana laughs at his attempts to thwart her plans and bids him farewell, as she uses strong magic to trap Merlin in the Crystal Cave once and for all.
After this, she gathers her forces at Camlann, where she reunites with Mordred. The two, along with the Saxons , begin their final fight against Camelot.
Although they easily overwhelm the Camelot soldiers at first, Merlin's return greatly shocks Morgana as she screams at him, and he attacks her and knocks her unconscious. When she regains consciousness, she finds out that Mordred has been killed. Creating a grave for him, she buries him and swears to him that Arthur will meet his doom. When her men report to her that Arthur is alive, Morgana is so furious that she instantly kills one of the men.
She meets with Gwaine and Percival, who knew of Arthur's location, and although Percival manages to stab through her, she survives and manages to defeat both of them. She traps Gwaine and uses a Nathair on him to learn about Arthur's location and after she does, she executes him. Morgana finds Merlin and Arthur and uses magic to blast Merlin away. She then taunts a dying Arthur, but Merlin points Excalibur at her and says that, although he always blamed himself for what she has become, the bloodshed she created has to end, and so stabs her with the sword.
Morgana thought she could withstand this hit too, but is wrong, as a sword forged in a Dragon's breath can hurt her. Morgana breathes her last breath there, and very soon her brother dies as well The Diamond of the Day.
Morgana is portrayed as being vengeful, ruthless, embittered, cold and calculating. Having turned against her closest friends and even her own family, Morgana zealously pursues what she believes to be her rightful throne as well as the downfall of her enemies, even those she once cared about. She is a highly isolated and darkened character who resembles her biological father far more than she cares to admit since she, like Uther Pendragon , has suffered greatly on an emotional level and is unwilling to let go of past suffering.
In spite of her apparent callous antipathy, on rare occasions, Morgana shows a sorrowful melancholy that she herself does not expect to feel, such as upon the death of Uther, the resurrection of Lancelot as a mere shadow of his former glory and her confrontation with Arthur.
While in Camelot she is considered by many to be very beautiful and attracts the attention of numerous men, including Knight Valiant , Merlin and Arthur Pendragon. However, Morgana proves to be both beautiful and capable; she is also fiery and independent and will not hesitate to stand up to Uther, despite his being her guardian. She always takes issue with his cruel and unjust persecution of magic-users, believing that his punishments are unfair and unfitting.
When necessary, she also displays her courage and ability as a fighter, always intervening to stand up for what she feels is right. Like Uther, she too is very stubborn, and when Arthur told Uther that he lost a bet against Morgana, Uther told him that he should have known better than to mess with her. Despite portraying a fierce but just and independent personality at the court, on the inside Morgana is feeling great fear, depression and loneliness while in Camelot. Not knowing that she is Uther's daughter, the thought that he may find out about her magic greatly stresses her, taking into consideration his attitude towards magic.
Unable to find anyone to help her and having no one to turn to, she slowly envelopes herself in loneliness and depression, which fleetingly disappears at the company of creatures like Morgause, Alvarr and Mordred, who are like her. After Merlin poisons her and almost causes her death, Morgause takes her with her to cure her, and Morgana spends over a year with Morgause. When she returns, she is a different person; vengeful and more cruel, she returns determined to take revenge for beings like herself against Uther and the magic-hating Camelot.
Though Morgana initially believes Arthur was a better man than his father and would be a fair ruler, she ultimately becomes more and more fixed on her belief that the Pendragons are not fit to rule Camelot and seeks to take the throne herself, despite her also being a Pendragon in blood.
She joins Morgause in her regicidal ambitions and eventually operates alone in trying to kill Arthur. Despite being motivated by her disagreement with Uther's tyrannical regime, Morgana herself lapses into a reign of cruelty during the times she rules Camelot to gain the allegiance of the people, such as executing innocent people in her first reign, and threatening to burn peasants' crops in her second reign.
Morgana also takes a sadistic pleasure in tormenting Uther and forcing Gwaine to fight for food, as well as willingly torturing Elyan for information. Despite her vindictive and unforgiving personality, however, Morgana remains a powerful, arrogant, intelligent, overconfident, and ferociously determined individual.
Her darker characteristics are largely the product of external influences while her truer nature was portrayed as one of immense compassion. This nature has arguably not disappeared due to the melancholy she sometimes showed and she does at times reveal a vulnerable side of herself, such as her shock and hurt on hearing of Agravaine's death, her deep conflict at seeing Arthur again, her fear at being rendered powerless and her elation at being healed by Aithusa.
This nature is explored more after her liberation from her prison. The time she spent with Aithusa made her more vulnerable and at times she shows her softer side to the young creature.
Even at her enemies, she shows acts of kindness, as shown when she ordered her men to burn Finna 's corpse after her suicide.

After turning his back on Arthur and delivering Emrys' true name to her, Mordred is the one she was able to forgive, even after he tried to kill her twice, and when he died at the hands of Arthur, she swore vengeance at her friend's grave.
From this point forward, Morgana became more sadistic, psychotic and cruel, even towards her allies, and her only goal became the death of Arthur Pendragon, which she initially realises, shortly after she is slain by Merlin. Morgana has dark brown wavy hair which sometimes appears to be black in a certain light. She has grey-green eyes and pale skin.
She has a wide variety of different dresses throughout the series, all of which reflect her personality. Morgana and Merlin talk about Sophia. Morgana's relationship with Merlin began well since Morgana appeared to trust him from early on, going straight to him when Gwen faced execution The Mark of Nimueh. When Merlin ran to her to hide Mordred , the Druid boy, Morgana agreed to help, driven by compassion and trust of Merlin's intentions. When Merlin's village was under attack The Moment of Truth , Morgana, Gwen and Arthur journeyed with him to defend it, and Merlin overheard her saying that they were there because they all cared for Merlin.
However, Merlin attempted to distance himself from her after her attempt on Uther's life, but ultimately ended up becoming closer to her when she was confused by her manifesting powers.
Merlin clearly wanted to help Morgana and tried to persuade Gaius to help her instead of ignoring her powers altogether. Morgana later demonstrated her trust in Merlin by confessing her suspicions of her magic, leading Merlin to eventually advise her to seek the Druids' help despite Gaius and the Great Dragon's warning him not to get involved. He, believing that he could not abandon her and understanding what she was going through, ignored the two The Nightmare Begins.
The pair remained friends until Merlin discovered that Morgana had once again allied with Uther's enemies in forming a bond with Morgause. When Morgause made Morgana the unwitting vessel for the sleeping plague, Merlin demonstrated a lack of faith in Morgana by believing his only option to be to kill her in order to end the plague. Instead of talking with her, he chose to poison her in order to force Morgause to end the spell to save her life.
Though it was done reluctantly, his choice was ultimately one that severely alienated the already conflicted Morgana, who may well have drunk the hemlock on her own to save Arthur, whom she loved deeply, had Merlin simply explained all.
However, Merlin chose to believe the worst in Morgana, potentially unaware that Morgause had turned her into the vessel without her knowledge or consent, therefore destroying his relationship with her forever, polluting her better nature and sending her irrevocably into Morgause's care for one year The Fires of Idirsholas. When Morgana returned to Camelot, Merlin was anxious that she would expose him, but to his surprise she tearfully said she understood why he did it and confessed that she had had no idea what she was doing.
Thinking she had forgiven him, Merlin was vastly relieved until he discovered the enchantment on Uther The Tears of Uther Pendragon. When he followed her to meet with Morgause, Morgana dropped the act and revealed her true loathing for Merlin, leaving him bound in chains to die. Curiously, for reasons unknown, Morgana never exposed Merlin for poisoning her, though she probably could have him executed on the spot for it.
Possible explanations include that she feared her magic or her treachery being exposed, or for some reason did not want him executed. Morgana remained ignorant to the fact that she owed her life to Merlin when he cured her fatal head injury, although he acted largely to alleviate his own guilt from having caused her accident in the first place, and also to save Arthur and Uther from their overwhelming grief The Crystal Cave.
With all pretence now dropped, Morgana and Merlin were deeply hostile to one other, though in the presence of Arthur and Gwen they tended to be civil, but not friendly. Uncharacteristically, Merlin was shown to be very cold towards Morgana and vice versa. Merlin had long since given Morgana up as a lost cause, and when Morgana crowned herself Queen of Camelot, Merlin helped Arthur rally a resistance, destroying the immortal army she and Morgause raised by emptying the Cup of Life after he hurled Morgause into a stone pillar.
Morgana's hatred of Merlin was amplified by his severely wounding Morgause, though it is unclear whether her eventual emaciated state and death were a direct result of Merlin's attack. The following year, Morgana was ever more suspicious, paranoid and hostile. She and Merlin did not meet over the course of the year, although Merlin was frequently aware of her plans to seize the throne and continuously thwarted them.
Despite this, Morgana did not kill him instantly when he was at her mercy after being captured by mercenaries, instead using him as a pawn in her wider plans A Servant of Two Masters. However, Morgana continually remained ignorant to the fact that Merlin was in fact the Emrys foretold to be her doom The Secret Sharer , still believing he was merely an unusually troublesome servant of Arthur's, although she discovered it through Mordred's betrayal of Arthur The Drawing of the Dark.
After learning Merlin's secret, Morgana is extremely surprised. After having Merlin's magic temporarily removed, Morgana seals him in a cave, mockingly telling him that he would not mess with her plans again. During the battle of Camlann, Morgana hysterically screams at Merlin when he returns to the battlefield, and he wastes no time in attacking her with a lightning spell. Once the Cailleach delivered her cryptic warning about the sorcerer Emrys being her doom, Morgana began to live in great fear of him, particularly after having a vision of herself pleading for Emrys' help in a battlefield.
Though she suspected his having a hand in many of her foiled plans, she first met him face to face when she caught him going through her possessions.
This led to a magical duel between the two, which Emrys narrowly won. Morgana became obsessed with discovering Emrys's true identity, believing he stood between her and her birthright, even going so far as to capture Gaius in an unsuccessful attempt to find it out. Morgana continued to be afraid and suspicious of Emrys, still having failed to identify him, and she panicked when she caught sight of him after she conquered Camelot, clearly fearful of further attack.
Her efforts to discover who and where Emrys became successful when Mordred betrayed Camelot due to the fact his love was hanged The Drawing of the Dark. Morgana and Arthur grew up together and their relationship had always been strong. On the surface they seemed like siblings, teasing one another mercilessly and trading sarcastic comments, but there was also a much deeper connection between them.
Morgana proved to be Arthur's advisor and moral compass early on as she was the only one who could get him to confront and defy his father by doing what he knew in his heart was right. Despite being raised together, Arthur and Morgana developed an attraction for one another at some point. Whenever knights flattered Morgana it irked Arthur, and he in turn openly accused her of being jealous when she tried to dissuade him from pursuing Sophia. They shared a number of tender moments where it was clear that the love they had for each other went much deeper than attraction, and the prophetic dreams that terrified Morgana most were ones of Arthur's death The Gates of Avalon , Le Morte d'Arthur.
Each time she would desperately try to save him and prevent her prophecies from being realised, on one occasion running to plead with him in front of the assembled knights when she knew he would not return safely from a quest. And just as Morgana was fiercely protective of Arthur, he, in turn, did everything in his power to keep her safe and happy. He defended her interests against his father, securing her release from the dungeons To Kill the King and agreeing to defy Uther and smuggle Mordred out of Camelot solely for her sake The Beginning of the End.
Arthur explains his plan to Morgana. However, Arthur's sudden interest in Guinevere caused his relationship with Morgana to suffer. Caught up in his new romantic problems, he failed to realise that Morgana was struggling with something serious and unintentionally left her even more isolated as she wrestled with her growing magic. When she was "kidnapped" by the druids, however, Arthur mounted a rescue and brought her back safely to Camelot, although he did not realise this was not what she wanted The Nightmare Begins.
As Arthur and the knights head to the dungeons, Merlin and Lancelot decide to stop Morgana's army by going after the Cup of Life. However, Merlin runs into another problem when he sees Morgause protecting it. As a result, Merlin ends up severely injuring Morgause by blasting her into a pillar - much to Morgana's devastation. Morgana hadn't always been heartless. However, she ended up hurting Merlin in some of the worst ways when he realized she was responsible for many of his friends' deaths.
For example, although she didn't do it herself, Morgana was inadvertently responsible for Lancelot's death when the knight sacrificed himself to fix her mistake. Morgana also committed an unforgivable act when she killed Gwaine after relentlessly torturing him "The Diamond of The Day". If Merlin believed she could be redeemed, there was no chance of that happening after this. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the worst thing Merlin had ever done is to kill her. After Morgana realizes that Arthur was still alive and with Merlin, she decides to hunt them down once and for all.
As soon as she finds them, Morgana wastes no time in attacking Merlin. Believing the warlock to be incapacitated, Morgana turns her attention to her brother and taunts him about his failure. However, she fails to notice Merlin creep up behind her with Excalibur.
As a result of her incompetence, she is killed immediately. The worst thing Morgana ever did to Merlin was when she caused him to fail his destiny. While Morgana met her maker in the season 5 finale, she also got the last laugh when she succeeded in killing Arthur.
