BrainFireBob:
My hope would be Mordred.

Arthur's heir. Born of a sin he's not responsible for, but by right of birth and debatably conquest, Pendragon.

Here here!  I could see Butcher doing a decent Mordred storyline as a tragic hero that's misunderstood but forced by fate and destiny to play a role he does not wish for.

Bad Alias:
My problem with the theory that Jim's going to bring a hero of legend in from the bench like that is that he hasn't really set it up. He's laid the ground work for Odin to be involved. I just don't see it for Merlin or Arthur. It's kind of the opposite of making sure the mentor character can't be around for all the big challenges.

I can see a villain coming in out of the blue much more easily.

ClintACK:
I don't think the British Prisoner, even if he is Arthur, is going to be coming out of the cell any time soon. He's waiting for a different apocalyptic prophecy. But that doesn't mean he can't be a mentor to Thomas while he's in lockup, assuming Thomas recovers enough to have conversations.

With Merlin apparently running through time all over the place, picking up a language and filling in Arthur on it doesn't seem too convoluted.

Isn't it basically telepathic communication anyway? If it's Arthur, he might just come across to Harry as sounding British because Arthur is an archetypically British figure. Doesn't necessarily mean he actually speaks English with a modern British accent.

If it *is* Arthur, would that mean Demonreach is Avalon?
