He befriends Merlin and they work together to interpret these visions for the good of Camelot. And there could be a group of magical creatures, like sprites or pixies, that Merlin has to interact with. They could be mischievous but also hold important information about Camelot's magic.
One potential new character could be an old hermit who lives deep in the forest near Camelot. He has a vast knowledge of ancient magic and can offer Merlin some unique insights. Maybe a foreign diplomat who comes to Camelot with a strange magical item that causes chaos in the kingdom. Merlin has to deal with this diplomat and the item. Also, a young thief who has a natural ability to sense magic. The thief could either become an ally or a thorn in Merlin's side as he tries to protect Camelot's magical secrets.
A young stargazer from Earth could be a new character. This character could be someone who has always been fascinated by the stars and dreams of traveling to other planets.
