Trivia

Merlin was created in 1997.
For an unknown reason, some of his animations from the MSAgent 1.5 version were removed in the newer one.
He was one of the four original Microsoft Agents to be released by Microsoft Corporation.
As with most classical Microsoft Agents, he has his own color table to utilize multiple unique colors to make the character seem higher quality.
His extra data section also differs between versions.
