Editing Myrddin (section)

===Reputation===
Myrddin was considered one of the most powerful heroes in the [[United States of America]], and a long-standing and highly valued member of the [[Protectorate]].<ref name="IRC topHeroes"><Wildbow> Armsmaster appears in the posters and such of the top Protectorate heroes.<br><Wildbow> When they do the image of everyone standing in a 'v' formation <br>[...]<br><Wildbow> Nah. Legend in front, Alex and Eidolon to the left and right, respectively. Then Myrddin, Chev, Cinereal, Narwhal, Rime, Exalt, Armsmaster, Dragon suit silhouette in the background, wings echoing the wings of the PRT logo over their heads. - Wildbow on IRC, [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/21173580 archived on Spacebattles]</ref><ref name="5.x e1"/><ref name="I28x e1" /><ref name="17.8 e2">“I’ll be just as bad as the Simurgh.  In a different way.  I touch someone, and then I spit out copies.  Uglier, stronger… meaner.  I can’t control them.  If I got my hands on one of the major heroes?  Someone like that Myrddin guy?” - [[Migration 17.8]]</ref> [[Gregor]] believed Myrddin was globally recognized and got his position because he was intelligent, strong, and talented.<ref name="5.x e1" /> When [[Raymancer]] was suffering from acute radiation poisoning, [[Tecton]] had faith that his superior would find someone who could help Raymancer.<ref name="19.3 e2">“Worrying about him is fine,” I said, and the image of Grue sitting at the base of the wall flickered through my mind’s eye, “But the best thing you can do for Raymancer is get through this thing alive, and when you’re done, you can do your job as team leader and find someone who can help him.”<br><br>“Myrddin will do that.”<br><br>“Maybe,” I said.  “But are you really willing to trust the well-being of your teammate to a supervisor?  Wouldn’t it feel better to handle it yourself?”<br><br>“Unless I have reason not to, I’ll rely on Myrddin and I’ll feel better doing that,” Tecton replied.  “All of this, this whole scenario, the organization of it all, it doesn’t work unless there’s a measure of trust.”<br><br>“Okay,” I said.  His reply had caught me off guard.  I hadn’t expected Tecton to have that kind of faith in his superiors, and I couldn’t be sure if it was my own bias or naiveté on his part that were at fault for this gap in understanding.  Even if I were right, though, it wasn’t my place to ‘fix’ him.  “You lead the way you have to.  Sorry to make assumptions.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/26 Excerpt] from [[Scourge 19.3]]</ref>

Myrddin is willing to interact with news organizations. He participated in at least one interview<ref name="I28x e1" /> and made a public statement about [[Madison]].<ref name="17.6 e1" />

According to [[Tattletale]], Myrddin considers himself the resident dimension manipulator for the [[Protectorate]].<ref name="19.4 e4">“Are you saying that because you consider yourself the resident dimension manipulator or because you’re afraid it’ll lead to a big revelation about Cauldron?”<br><br>I could have imagined it, but I could have sworn my bugs were aware of a collective intake of breath.  Not everyone present, not even one in five… but people did react.<br><br>How far did this reach?<br><br>“What are you talking about?”  Myrddin asked.<br><br>“No?  I’m not seeing anything from you.  Guess you’re in the clear,” Tattletale replied. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/02 Excerpt] from  [[Scourge 19.4]]</ref> He does not appear to be well-known to non-cape geeks in [[Earth Aleph]]; [[Noelle]] initially knew nothing about him despite being aware of heroes in [[Earth Bet]].<ref name="17.3 c1">I’d hoped it was clear – there’s shared information and media between universes (see chapter 3.3 or something like that where Dr. Haywire is first brought up), enough that Krouse and his friends know about the heroes in the other world, not so much that someone who isn’t a cape geek like Jess would know the details about the Simurgh’s power. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/migration-17-3/#comment-8896 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Migration 17.3]]</ref><ref name="17.7 e2">''Doing this all backwards, deciding on a strategy before I’ve fully tested my powers.
