the pupil of merlin

[Kuisanagi]

...in the legend of King Arthur, Moragana [aka Morgan leFay] was Arthur's half sister...according to Mallory's version [the only one that I've read properly], Morgana was angry at Arthur for killing [one of] her lovers, and ended up being the main antagonist...she created various plots to kill Arthur, finally suceeding in throwing Excalibur's scabbard into a lake, which eventually leads to his death.I think its only in modern interpretations that she becomes Merlin's student, and traps him in a tree [or whatever it was].

[Kiririn-shi]

Hmm, I prefer Kuisanagi's answer: it's more complete and traditional actually. But point for both.82. Who was Triton?
