In his heart, Murtagh is not an evil character. Galbatorix forced him to swear oaths in the ancient language that caused him to be loyal to the king, hence creating an artificial villain.
In the beginning of the series, Murtagh is portrayed as a complex character who is struggling with his loyalty to his father, Morzan. He is not inherently evil, but he makes choices that align him with the antagonists. As the story progresses, Murtagh's character development reveals more depth and conflict, blurring the lines between good and evil.
Yes, Murtagh was Eragon's half-brother.
Garrett Hedlund plays murtagh in the movie eragon.
Murtagh believed he was telling the truth. Eragon and Murtagh really are half-brothers and share the same mother. The part Murtagh was incorrect about was who Eragon's father was. Murtagh's father was Morzan, whereas Brom was the father of Eragon. Eragon was not even aware of this himself until after Brom's death.
In eragon murtagh turns 18 seven months before meeting eragon so, in eldest he is around 19 - In the movie Eragon Garrett Hedlund plays murtagh and he is 25.
Murtagh's magic is stronger than Eragon's because Galbatorix has given Murtagh lots of Eldunari, therefore giving him much more energy than Eragon.
Technically without the support of Galbatorix and the Eldunari Eragon and Saphira would be more powerful than Thorn and Murtagh. But since Murtagh is receiving aid he is currently stronger than Eragon
Murtagh never said this.
Well Murtagh thinks Eragon is his little brother.Murtagh is the son of Morzan and so gets his sword. Eragon gets a new sword in the 3rd book.
The main protagonists throughout Eragon are Ergaon, Saphira, Brom and Murtagh. In the later books other protagonists appear, and Murtagh becomes an antagonist.
I think that Eragon will be able to persuade murtagh to go to the elven city and get his name changed. Later when eragon is fighting galbortorix eragon will be about to die and murtagh will come in and save him and kill Galbortorix!!!!!
murtagh is eragons half brother, and is a rider under the rule of galbatorix
The conflict is when Murtagh comes to the battle between the varden and the empire - he is not dead - he is a dragon rider sworn to King Galbatorix. His dragon's name is Thorn. He kills King Hrothgar and battles Eragon and Saphira and defeats them, but Eragon sees the heart in Murtagh and convinces him to let Eragon and Saphira go. Before Murtagh leaves, he tells Eragon that he is his half brother, making Eragon Morzan's son. He then takes Eragon's sword and retuns to Uru'baen. Roran kills the twins - also alive and evil - and the Varden defeats the empire. Read on in Brisingr, the third book, for more.
