Alinor was a supposed enemy of Camelot. When Merlin was captured by mercenaries that ambushed the Knights of the Round Table in the Valley of the Fallen Kings, Agravaine suggested to Arthur that they were sent by "that snake Alinor", though Arthur didn't believe this as the route that the Knights of Camelot and Merlin had been taking was kept top secret. Unknown to Arthur, the mercenaries were actually sent by Agravaine and Morgana (A Servant of Two Masters).
