abstract	Maerlyn, also known as the Ageless Stranger (or Legion) in the original publication of The Gunslinger, is a powerful sorcerer and a demon of the Prim. He is described as being a rogue wizard and is often associated with Arthur Eld. Some believe he appeared with loyal followers uninvited to Arthur's coronation and offered him the Wizard's Rainbow, and that it was this turn of events that led to Arthur's impregnation of the Crimson Queen and the birth of the Crimson King. As a spawn of the Prim, he cares nothing for order, stability or logic. He relishes chaos, creating havoc for his own amusement. Disguised as a grey-bearded Wizard, he convinced the Great Old Ones to build Dogans, where they fused technology with magic. Later, he convinced the corporation North Central Positronics to claim supreme ownership over the space-time continuum by replacing the Dark Tower with one of their own making, which eventually led to the downfall of the Old Ones. He was content with the destruction he had caused until Arthur Eld began to rebuild the world, and so from his subterranean home at the edge of the Prim he spun the Wizard's Rainbow. At some stage he used the magic of the Prim again to make The Laughing Mirror. He visited the town of Brockest and convinced the inhabitants to forsake Gan and worship the ancient can-char by sacrficing one of their own to them. According to the comic, "The Gunslinger Born #2", he was a demon who took the form of an old man. He created thirteen magical balls, which are named Maerlyn's Rainbow. In the comic "The Sorcerer," he is said to be the father of the evil wizard, Randall Flagg, through the mating of Selena.
