Merlin Wolford

Merlin Wolford is a name etched into the annals of the Kingdom of Earlsheid — a sage of unparalleled renown whose heroic deeds once steered the entire nation away from ruin. After retiring to a tranquil life deep in the forest, fate brought him a most unexpected companion: a young boy reincarnated from another world, whom Merlin warmly embraced as his own grandson. He poured every ounce of his magical wisdom into raising Shin, yet his boundless affection came with a significant blind spot — he never thought to teach the boy the basic social norms of the world outside their woodland home. The result was a prodigiously gifted mage with virtually no common sense. Warm, unpretentious, and prone to shedding heartfelt tears, Merlin serves as both the loving grandfather and the guiding force who ultimately encourages Shin to enroll in the magic academy and step into a wider world.
