What you did for me.

~ Balthazar Blake to Veronica Gorloisen.

Veronica Gorloisen is a powerful sorceress, Balthazar's love interest, and also one of the three apprentices chosen by the noble wizard Merlin, on a mission to stop the evil witch Morgana le Fey.

She is portrayed by Monica Bellucci.

History

Veronica was one of the three apprentices of Merlin. Both of her fellow sorcerers, Balthazar Blake, and Maxim Horvath had feelings for her, but she loved Balthazar, which unfortunatly resulted in Horvath turning on her, and joining Morgana. Veronica and Balthazar went on many adventures together. When Morgana killed Merlin, and was about to kill Blake, Veronica, merged the evil sorceress's spirit into her own body through the Fusion Spell to save Balthazar. But Morgana began to kill her from the inside, so Balthazar trapped them both into the Grimhold.

Released from the Grimhold

1,000 years later, Horvath freed Morgana (still trapped in Veronica's body) from the Grimhold. Veronica had completely been possesed by Morgana, and was beginning the ritual for The Rising. Balthazar came to her rescue, taking Morgana's spirit into himself. He told Dave to trap him in the doll and stop Morgana, but Dave refused, as did Veronica. In the end the two are reunited, and Balthazar gives his girlfriend the necklace he had been wanting to give her the day that she had been trapped in the Grimhold.

Personality and Traits

Veronica Gorloisen & Balthazar Blake

Veronica Gorloisen and Balthazar Blake.

Balthazar and Veronica are willing to do everything for their love, and at the same time they’re two fighters. Horvath, who, like them, was a disciple of Merlin, also falls in love with Veronica. She rejects him for Balthazar, and because of that he betrays them by aligning himself with Morgana. It’s a beautiful and powerful story about love, jealousy and vengeance.
~ Monica Belluci regarding Veronica Gorloisen's life.

Balthazar said that Veronica was much like Dave Stutler, wanting nothing more than to be a normal person, with a normal life. In the movie, it shows Balthazar having a flashback of him with Veronica in a market, as she looks onto a lovely necklace for sale. She was a beautiful young woman, who was very brave and powerful. She was the first magician to ever succesfully merge two souls into one body. She obviously loved Balthazar very much, willing to sacrifice herself for him.

Trivia

  • Balthazar noted to Dave in the film that, like him, Veronica was the only of Merlin's 3 apprentices who longed to be normal and have no magic.
  • The Sorcerer's Apprentice is greatly inspired by J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter book series. Veronica Gorlosein is the equivalent of Minerva McGonagall, though aside of them being the protagonist’s ally and a powerful sorceress, they had little to none of things in common.
  • Her surname contains the name "Gorlois", the name of Morgan le Fay's father and the original husband to Arthur's mother, Igraine.
  • Veronica's name means 'She who brings victory'.
  • In the early script of The Sorcerer's Apprentice film that can be seen here, Veronica's surname originally was Flood. Also, she also originally intended to be trapped inside the Grimhold by accident and not responsible for destruction of Morgana's body via the Fusion Spell.
