Merwyn the Malicious

Merwyn the Malicious is a an outspoken villain from the Harry Potter series. He is a Dark Wizard that is said to have performed unpleasant spells and jinxes in his time.

Little is known about Merwyn other than the fact that he is a dark wizard. He probably may have tortured or even killed other witches and wizards with his dark magic. A portrait of Merwyn is found at Hogwarts and he is also shown on a Chocolate Frog Famous Wizard card.

It is unknown when or how he died but since his portrait is seen at Hogwarts it can be assumed that he was a important wizard in the wizarding world.

Some Harry Potter fans think he is related to Salazar Slytherin, but this is not proven or revealed by J.K Rowling.
