Morgaine, priestess of Avalon, is King Arthur's half-sister.Their mother, Igraine, married king Uther Pendragon after Morgaine's father, Gorlois, died in battle.Rumors spread in Avalon that, before Igraine knew of Gorlois's death, Uther consulted with Merlin, who used magic to give Uther Gorlois's appearance and, thus, gain access to Igraine at Tintagel.
Their parents are Gorlois of Tintagel, Duke of Cornwall, and his wife Lady Igraine (the later wife of Uther and mother of Arthur). In Robert's original Merlin, she appears unnamed (the only named sister is Morgan) and is referred to only as either "King Lot's wife" or the "Queen of Orkney" (Orcanie).
