Indeed, I included an option for 'An unmet person'. 'Other ' was intended more for those who would vote for Rudolph the red nosed AI detective, but can't becausei forgot him.I might be able to add Rudolph. He's up there with Larry Fowler for most annoying mortal that might actually be the Big Bad.
Yup. But several are dead, so... who am I to nitpick?

It was your choice of words 'An unmet person' that threw me off. It would have made more sense to me if you just said 'Harry hasn't met him yet'. I see the word 'unmet' and I'm asking what does that mean? I know it's a legit word, but in this context it sounds strange.

Oh absolutely not, The whole point is that he's the /least/ relevant character I can think of.

I had to change it to other,
How's about, an alteration version of the original Merlin inside the same timeline.
Classically, Merlin exists backward through time in all timelines, but with the DR thing, 5 different times at the same time, I think 5 variation ended up in every timeline and grew off from there.

Not being contentious... just curious.
The "Merlin lives backwards" thing, as far as I remember, was the product/invention of T.H. White's Once and Future King and was later coopted by the Disney Corp. when they turned it into an animated film.
--- Quote ---The film is based on the novel of the same name, which was first published in 1938 as a single novel. It was later republished in 1958 as the first book of T. H. White's tetralogy The Once and Future King. The Sword in the Stone was released to theaters on December 25, 1963 to mixed reviews, though it was a box office success.

I don't recall the "backwards" part actually being in the Disney film, nor do I recall the concept being embraced by Mary Stewart in her series which started with The Cristal Cave. The Arthurian legend has been a particular interest of mine for some time and I've read lots of stories (seen a lot of movies, too) of various levels of fact and fiction related to it but don't recall anything but White's story where Merlin is living in reverse time.
Do you have any references I can look at? I'd love to see what they have to say. tyvm
