1. We have proof that the original Merlin traveled through time so we can't know when his era was or how often he skipped over parts of it by traveling to the future/past and staying there.
2. While he mentally "talks" in a Britishish accent, its all telepathy and as is said before Harry could just be "hearing" it and mentally assigning a British accent to it even without taking into account that Merlin very well could of time jumped to more modern British for awhile then returned to whatever time he wanted.
3. Jim will lie if needed to torture us so even though he said that Merlin is dead and that the guy in the cell isn't Merlin he could be lying.
4. Jim writes the fairies to be unable to lie but are masters at lying by omision, twisting words/meanings, and redirecting the conversation, so I wouldn't put it past Jim for him to say Merlin is dead and as in not breathing, eating, whatnot....kinda like someone who is suspended in status would be. After all Harry said that the Hunger wouldn't hurt his brother and with how bad his brother was at the time the only way that happens is by freezing him in time.

Also something I have thought before, in the real life stories Merlin was supposidly only half human and half fey or demon or something. So we have Mac who is shown great respect by very powerful entities ie Mab and Odin/Santa, as well as being called out by whichever walker. Mac who also healed superhuman (even to a wizard) fast after bullets were removed while he was unconcious and not able to control his actions. Mac who has been called Watcher with a capital W and who has stated that he's Out. Then we have who/whatever is in that cell. Could the occupent be the nonhuman part of Mac/Merlin? The bulk of his power locked away for some reason. I know that Harry has mentioned that he doesn't feel anything magical when touching Mac but if the bulk of his power is locked away in addition to the knowledge that Merlin had, its not that far of a stretch to believe that he could hid whatever remaining power resides within himself from a wizard.

Conspiracy Theorist:
You know there is a character in Irish Folklore called Mackineally, he was husband of someone called Ethnui.

The Mac/Merlin theory isn’t half as attractive as when a celebrity couple break up. She went and got an unnecessary surgery, and a radical new look and he couldn’t handle it and bought a bar and a sports car, and got involved in pushing his own brand alcohol. Nothing really changes does it?

Yeah, that's definitely interesting. I had pretty much bought into the Mac = Grigori/Watcher (kind of "half fallen" angels) theory, but now I'm not sure.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Both are possible, Mac might have been a deep cover spy as MacKineally for Uriel. His cover meant he ended up marrying Ethnui.

Uriel is the Spymaster for the White God, the Gregoris are Watchers, and a synonmyn for someone who watches is spies. Uriel probably placed spies in every major pantheon. For all we know Gregory Christos is in fact one of Uriel’s agents, not the Black Council’s, and we have been looking in the wrong direction for the Black Council spy.

TrueMonk:
It would be a good start of her hate of immortals just living among humans instead of being worshipped. And one for why Chicago should be the first city to be destroyed.
