Snark Knight:

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on October 16, 2021, 09:28:45 PM ---On that basis I fancy Michael Scot/Scotus The Wizard of the North, nice dubious date and place of birth so he could given a Wizards lifespan have been around a couple of centuries earlier under a different name. Had a habit of wearing a skull cap made of iron (the perfect contraceptive for a Fae muse, or to stop his mind being read) and has links in folklore to the Redcap.

We know JB likes his pop culture references. Some heavyweight coming out of stasis and not understanding all the references to The Office that other characters are making would be a good gag.

Yup, he has been there for possibly eons.  Some things do point to him possibly being Merlin, though I think Jim is keeping his options open.
Many myths surrounding Merlin, one says he sleeps in a cave in Cornwall, England, some even say in crystal.  Bulfinch's Mythology has an intriguing blurb about Merlin being trapped in a thorn bush by the Lady of the Lake and he sleeps there still, "though his voice may sometimes be heard."  So no thorn bush, but our prisoner seems to sleep a lot, demands to be left alone to sleep, and is sometimes heard.  In fact he is the only prisoner that we know of that Harry has ever talked with.  He is imprisoned in a cave and in crystal, so a lot of "hint, hint" that it could be Merlin,  but they still may all add up to nothing.
