Jack

Jack is the titular main protagonist of the 2006 minseries, Merlin's Apprentice. He was a orphaned thief-turned-powerful Sorcerer and the son and apprentice of Merlin and the Lady of the Lake

Background
Before his birth, Jack's mother, the Lady of the Lake, fell pregnant with Merlin's baby, hoping to use her son's magic against the Camelot citizens. She gave birth to him in Avalon but left him on the shores of her lake. Instead, Jack was found by an unnamed fisherman, who raised Jack until he was a teenager, leaving Jack to fend for himself.

Trivia

 * Jack mentions his mother being a mermaid and how he was born in an underwater kingdom.
 * Prior to Jack creating a vision of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, a ring of blue magic surrounded his neck similar to how the Lady had a necklace made of fish swimming around her neck.
 * His magic is blue just like the Lady of the Lake is.
 * When Merlin is touching the stand the Holy Grail once laid on, Jack is found on the shore of a lake nearby.
 * Jack and Brianna's real-life actors, John Reardan and Meghan Ory were married, having met on set of Merlin's Apprentice.
