    • Opening lines of the series Merlin (in voice-over): "Man's fate – what a strange riddle it is. How few clues there are with which to explain the random ways which men seem to begin and end, to live and love, to succeed and fail. (chuckles) Each individual destiny invisibly interweaving with the next, fashioning the beautiful and terrifying tapestries of our lives, shaping our passions and our destinies. Extracting of strange and unexpected prices, demanding that in order for one man to flourish, another must perish…" Valiant (waking up): "FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!" Edit
    • Valiant: "Don't worry Mother, Father will have this battle won in no time. Heh, I mean how could he not, with such an extraordinarily talented son and heir fighting at his side?" Edit
    • Valiant: "Father, Mother, come quickly! We're approaching – (the ship crashes onto shore) – land." Briana: "So I see." Edit

    • In the comics, Valiant and his family are exiled from Thule (located in modern day Norway) when the prince is a young boy. His father's name is Aguar and the man who conquered the kingdom is Sligon. The queen has no name in the comics. Valiant actually lives in the marsh (the Great Fens of Britain) until he's a teenager, at which point he is inspired to leave by a witch's prophecy. Edit
