Murtagh first appeared in the book while Eragon, Brom and Saphira were being held captive by the Ra'zac. His surprise attack was enough to scare off the Ra'zac. After Brom dies from wounds suffered during Murtaghs rescue Murtagh accompanies Eragon through the rest of the book. If you want to know more, read the book. Then read the next two books because Murtagh is also in those but his character changes a bit.
Murtagh is a character in the "Inheritance Cycle" series by Christopher Paolini. He is initially introduced as the son of the main antagonist, Morzan, and later revealed to be Eragon's half-brother. Murtagh plays a complex role throughout the series, often torn between his loyalties and facing internal struggles.
*SPOILER* Murtagh is Eragon's half-brother (through their mother Selena) and the son of Morzan. He is the Dragon Rider of the red dragon Thorn and the rightful owner of Zar'roc. Through Eldest and Brisingr, he is one of the main antagonist (besides Galbatorix). He is the murderer of Oromis and Glaedr and in Inheritance, he is the love interest of Nasuada.
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.
Murtagh's magic is stronger than Eragon's because Galbatorix has given Murtagh lots of Eldunari, therefore giving him much more energy than Eragon.
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.
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
