Gandalf is sort of the inverse of Merlin:
Both advise and counsel but use different means. Gandalf always uses good to reach good ends. Merlin sometimes uses evil (IE the rape of Igrayne) to reach good ends. They share the aim of ultimately bringing the realms they inhabit to goodness, to right.
Perhaps Merlin was one of the Blue Wizards in latter days, with the stories being somewhat twisted through time.
