As concerns his psychological profile — well, he's just a very straightforward Generic Classic Master, is the thing, which makes it somewhat tricky to write without feeling like I'm over-extrapolating from a few incidents. (But it also means that he's "somewhere between Delgado and Ainley" in a literary sense, which is why I think it's elegant to suppose that this is also where he is in a timeline sense.) Other than the obvious, we could make a note of the fact that he was good at setting up exit strategies in advance (as seen in ''Camelot'' and ''Radio Waves''), that he was somewhat presumptuous (seemingly not accounting for the possibility that [[Quan]] ''wouldn't'' obey him on principle), that he was good at social manipulation/sowing dissent (as seen in his role as "the Merlin"), and perhaps more amusingly that he had some artistic inclination (if we take seriously the mention that "the Merlin"'s duties at court include being a bard, as well as a magician and advisor). But as I said, overly-general statements on this sort based on this little evidence just feel to me like reading tea-leaves.
