| abstract | - Mary, along with the people of Camelot, witnessed the execution of her son who was accused of sorcery. After that she swore revenge on King Uther Pendragon for her son's death, promising: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a son for a son". She then fled, using the magic of an amber necklace which resulted in her teleporting before Uther's soldiers could arrest her. File:Merlin1-1.gif She later intercepted Lady Helen of Mora's convoy on its way to Camelot. She murdered Helen by using a poppet, and cast a glamour on herself to take on Helen's appearance in order to gain access to the king. Her glamour was incomplete however, as her true form could still be seen in mirrors and other forms of reflection. After she arrived at Camelot, a handmaiden caught a glimpse of her reflection, and was murdered for her discovery. Merlin also discovered her poppet while delivering a concoction, but was not caught by Collins. At a feast celebrating the twentieth year since Uther drove magic out of Camelot, Collins sang to the court in the guise of Lady Helen, simultaneously weaving an enchantment that put the court to sleep and caused the castle to age exponentially. Merlin, who was present, avoided the effects of the enchantment by covering his ears. When Collins produced a dagger with the intention of throwing it through Arthur's heart, Merlin used his own magic to drop a chandelier on her. Her spell broken, the members of the court awoke, covered in cobwebs. With her last bit of energy, Collins hurled the dagger at Arthur. Merlin again used his magic to slow time and pull Arthur out of the dagger's path, after which Collins expired, having failed in her quest for vengeance and then dies. Merlin was then awarded as Arthur's manservant for his bravery (The Dragon's Call).
