Brief History
It has long been suspected that Merlyn and Merlin of Camelot was the same person. Captain Britain & MI-13 #3 makes it clear that Merlin indeed is one of Merlyns countless identities.
"I who am the beauty of the Green Earth and the white Moon against the stars and the mystery of the waters, and the desire of the heart of man, I call unto thy soul to arise and come unto me... For I am the soul of nature who giveth life to the universe; from me all things proceed... And unto me all things must return".
Captain Britain
Merlyn came back to life Brian Braddock's life to be judged in the most ancient Circle of Power.
