Meaning Merlin?

Anymore context?

Mar10:
In my mind, the only logical answer would be William.

g33k:
+1 for William the Conqueror.

Also note:  that's William, Duke of Normandy (i.e. France);
and a huge amount of the King Arthur legendarium comes from France.

If "Mab" rode with William, she may have originally been a French girl.

Although William is centuries post-Arthur... but Merlin could certainly have survived (indeed, with his known 5-ply time prison element of the Demonreach enchantment, he was certainly active well-after the time of William)

Not sure if any of this is precisely meaningful -- vis-a-vis the Dresden Files and our various guesses & prognostications as to how things will go -- but it's interesting grist for our mills!

It's possible on Merlin, but if you go by mythology, Merlin had long been asleep by that time.

But Merlin was a wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey sort of wizard.

Just because he was sent into an enchanted sleep in the 400's-600's(ish), that doesn't mean (in his own personal back-and-forth-through-time lifespan) he hadn't already marched with William, and visited other future times as well (possibly even to the yet-unwritten future of the DF timeline).

Before-and-after, for Merlin, is virtually impossible to determine from our information.
