In a recent response you said it was "very disconcerting" that Goliath had been named by 984 in "Long Way to Morning."
However, in a response on 02-02-2000 you said that Prince Malcom named him about 971 AD.
Hopefully that makes you feel less disconcerted.
(I also hope that you're encouraged to know that at least one person reads the archives.)
Greg responds...
Yeah. Thanks.
Did I say that definitively? Cause in my head, I hadn't decided that yet. Hmmm....
Anonymous writes...
Who would be the villains for Dark Ages besides the Archmage?
Greg responds...
Iago, for one.
Constantine's father (I'm blanking on his name right now).
The Illuminati.
And others...
Todd Jensen writes...
In "Possession", Iago cries at one point, "By the Dragon!" (And I've seen you use similar invocations of "the Dragon" here at least once, for that matter). Just out of curiosity, what is the "Dragon"? (I'm assuming that it has some religious significance for the Wyvern clan, judging from its context, but I won't dare hypothesize anything more than that - particularly on account of the rules).
Greg responds...
I never said it was religious.

In the original wyvern clan didd you knoww who lex's mother would be
Greg responds...
Lex had a lot of mothers. Quit thinking like a human.
Nyrtleka writes...
You said that Broadway has a sibling, presumably a sister, named Hyppolyta. Where is she currently--- on Avalon? Was she slaughtered at the Wyvern massacre?
Greg responds...
She's dead. I'm not saying more than that now.
Justin writes...
Dear Greg Here's another set of questions for you.
1a)How did Demona find those five gargs in City of Stone?
1b)Were the a few clans in Scotland?
2a)Did have a rookery?
2b)Did Demona contribute?
3a)Why did Demona treat her clan more like an army ten family?
3b)Why did Demona do nothing to stop the princess,magus and Tom when they took the clan's eggs?
Thanks
Greg responds...
1a. She searched around. And there were more than five. But they lived in "cells" so that the Hunter couldn't stumble on any one location and destroy them all.
b. I know there's a typo in there, but I still am not sure what this question is.
2a. Demona's clan? Probably they had one when they needed one.
2b. No.
3a. Why do YOU think?
3b. Paralyzing guilt.

G'day Greg
Would any of the spinoffs featured the Pack (or at least members of the Pack) as villains?
Thank you for your time.
Greg responds...
Sure. Most. Let's see...
Gargoyles
Bad Guys
Gargoyles 2158 (revised)
for sure...
And I wouldn't be surprised if we also saw them in
Pendragon
New Olympians
TimeDancer
But I would be surprised if they showed up in
Dark Ages
Aris Katsaris writes...
Would we have seen Hyppolyta on any series other than Dark Ages?
How did she get her name? Was she aware that she had a name (like Goliath) or unaware of it (Othello, Desdemona etc)?
Greg responds...
Possibly TimeDancer. Flashbacks in GARGOYLES, maybe.
That's a decision, I'm still mulling over, frankly. Did anyone notice that Goliath was already named by 984 in "Long Way To Morning"? I didn't, until a recent reviewing revealed it. Very disconcerting.
Aris Katsaris writes...
You said that Hudson had two biological children and would have had a third if his mate hadn't been killed. Does that mean he mated after he was biologically 25? Because if not, they could have had conceived eggs in 928 (Goliath's generation), 948 (Broadway) and 968 (Bronx's generation) since his mate was killed in 971 as you've told us.
So, was it a miscalculation on your part, or did Hudson first mate late in life?
And does Hyppolyta belong to Goliath's or to Bronx's generation?
Greg responds...
Yeah. That was a mistake. A very annoying mistake. His eldest biological child is part of Goliath's generation. (Thus Goliath, Demona, Iago, etc. are all his rookery children.) His second biological child (Broadway) is obviously part of the Trio's generation. (And he's a rookery father to all of them as well.) His third biological child, and there is a third one, hatched in the same generation as Bronx. (And he was a rookery father to all of them as well. Well, all the gargoyles, not the beasts.)
Hyppolyta was part of the generation that included--
Wait a minute. Just cuz I made a mistake, doesn't mean I have to give everything away right now.
Whew. You almost had me.

A few more Wyvern questions:
1a) Hakon and the captain exhibited several kinds of powers (causing hallucinations, animating the rock-clan, drawing Goliath's life energy). Which of these were their own powers (as "ghosts"), and which did they possess solely by tapping into the magic of the ruins/area? 1b) Is the purpose of the rune temple in the lair solely to draw and transfer life energy? 1c) How did Hakon and the Captain know how to use it? 2) The Captain said that their hatred may have been a factor in why they were trapped down there. Was it specifically hatred, or "unfinished business" that for them, just happened to involve hatred? 3a) Did the Archmage know of the ruins before he joined Malcolm's service? 3b) If so, were the ruins part of the reason he joined?
Greg responds...
1a. The hallucinations were ghost powers. Tapping Goliath's life force was a "power" of the Megalith Dance down below. Animating the rocks was generally a ghost power, but it was slightly more sophisticated, and I think that the location helped them focus and control their power more.
1b. Solely? no.
1c. Time and grokking.
2. Both.
3a. Yes.
3b. Sorta. Not really.
