Description
Here we have the Dungeon Master Merlin Sheltie, in his teens and his 50's, both with and without his Dungeon Master robes.

Born in the early 70's to a father from Scotland and a mother born in Australia with parents from Scotland, Merlin was always big fantasy fan. By the time he was in high school, he gained notoriety as the neighborhood Dungeon Master. His game's guild, a band of heroes known as the Valiant Lions, consisted of the cheeky Shadow Klee Kai (who played Nocturne, the wizard), the skillful Hunter Elkhound (who played the ranger Thicket) and a few others friends who went in an out of the campaign.

After Bandit lost a bet with Hunter, he reluctantly joined the game as the fighter Xandar. To everyone's surprise, Bandit took a liking to the game thanks to Merlin's great storytelling and support, but kept it a secret from his family out of not wanting to be called a nerd. Eventually, Stripe and Rad learned Bandit's secret and joined the game.

Outside the game, Merlin proved to be a good friend as well, being a sort of wise mentor to the other kids by helping to settle squabbles, but was also known to encourage rebelliousness, and even took the Heeler boys to their first R-Rated movie when he turned 18. He is also technologically adept, owning a Commodore 64.

Sadly, as CDs supplanted the cassette and hip-hop supplanted synth pop, Merlin moved to England to peruse his programing career, thus ending the game. Decades later, he moved back to Australia, and set up a tabletop gaming shop known as Kangaroo & Dragon Games. He reunited with Bandit, and helped him teach D&D to Bluey and Bingo, thus beginning a new tale.
