For The Green Knight:

He uses he and they pronouns.

He would 100% say no to "Is kissing the homies gay?"

They’re actually a human but their wife is Fae and she and Morgan went way back, which is why Morgan selected them for her latest attempt at regicide.

He loves cooking and is often the one who cooks whatever meat he brings home.

They and their wife don’t have any kids, but Gawain will sometimes send random kids there for some help, a nice meal, and a roof over their heads. (They all have a note, which says something like, “Hey, Bertilak, hope you don’t mind housing this kid for a bit. Thanks, you’re the best. -G (ps, can’t wait to visit for x holiday))

He and Gawain exchange cooking recipes and his wife and Gawain exchange healing spells.

They loves dogs and animals, feeding them various scraps (or the best cuts behind their wife’s back-)

Their castle is actually near the border to the Fae world.

For Merlin:

He's a Druid and grew up raised by nature after his clan left him for dead.

He has an inherent sense of the future, knowing vaguely what is going to happen without knowing any minute details.

He had a big crush on Aurelius. He didn't really do anything about it, cause he was best friends with Uther and Aurelius was busy, but after Aurelius was crowned king, he was a bit tipsy and ended up kissing Merlin. They had a few months of bliss together.

Uther had a sort of obsession with Merlin, and Merlin got too deep before realizing it wasn't healthy, which led to him trying to curb Uther's mania while still being too scared to do much about the atrocities committed.

Merlin tried to have a relationship after Aurelius with a sweet woman named Gwendolyn, who was actually a childhood friend of his from a village his clan had once stayed near, but Uther caught wind of it and became very possessive of Merlin.

He had and still has mixed feelings about Uther, which he just sets aside because it hurts too much.

After three failed relationships, he only kept in touch with Ulfius, and he completely shut off any sort of non-business relationships after Ulfius died.

Igerna was actually the one who selected Ector to care for Arthur and Merlin only went with it because he wanted to keep Igerna as happy as possible under the circumstances. (He knew Ector to be a good man, but wanted as little to do as possible with Aurelius’s reign. (He also didn’t want him under Uther’s fire, but knew Ector could handle it.))

He’s sad and lonely and wishes he could leave, but knows he has to protect the crown, as he swore he would to both Uther and Aurelius.

He’s still kept some of Aurelius’s stuff as a reminder to the best part of his life.
