Merlin was the first sorcerer? I always thought that he just was the first one who is related to the HG. Well, Zoso at least knew telekinesis, glamouring, and teleporting. That's a start! (Plus, Nimue probably had some things studied from Merlin's stuff. Just about one to two dozen sharing 400 ish years.

Merlin is the first HG succesful user that we know of. It's the "origin" of magic, so likely since Merlin heard of magic, he wasn't the first. Definitely not the first "sorcerer" as in magical practitioner.
