| − | When Demona first arrived in [[Northumbria]], the young rookling was immediately fascinated by her. She approached Demona when the older gargoyle was alone to ask why she carried a [[Demona's Sword|sword]], and showed no fear when Demona turned on her, brandishing the blade to threaten the child not to sneak up on her before ultimately having her question answered. On November 13th, the rookling, while climbing through dug tunnels, overheard Demona arguing with the clan's [["Rook"|leader]] and [["Lioness"|second-in-command]]. Demona was urging them to scatter the clan before sunrise, as staying in one place made them too easy a target for the [[human]]s. But while the two adult gargoyles refused to heed Demona's advice, the rookling did - hiding herself underground. Because of this, she survived when [[Canmore]] massacred her clan.

| − | She awoke and found her shattered clan and, within the rookery, the clan's shattered eggs. As she wept over them, she turned on Demona when the older female discovered her. At first, blaming Demona for her survival and thus experiencing these horrors, she wished she had perished. Demona scowled at this and shoved the rookling to the ground, advising her that she had been wise to heed her warnings. Demona then led the rookling to take vengeance where they came upon [[Canmore]], fleeing the [[Battle of Alnwick]]. Demona took swift vengeance upon the [[Hunter]] and would have attempted to end Canmore's entire line, had the rookling not dragged her away to protect Demona from the scores of soldiers. She continued to be fascinated by Demona when the gargoyle spoke of her [[immortality]]. When she asked if they should hold a [[Wind Ceremony]], Demona had no interest and was prepared to leave the rookling to do as she liked - wishing her luck as she could not be burdened with her care.

In 1109, the Norse shield was wielded by King Sigurd Magnusson on his voyage to Constantinople. After a sea battle against Saracens off the coast of Lisbon, King Sigurd gifted the shield to Demona, as a reward for coming to his aid in the conflict. He also argued that the 'pagan' iconography no longer suited him, while acknowledging his hypocrisy for holding on to his lucky charm, the Eye of Odin. Demona soon after handed the shield off to her daughter, Angelika to use in battle. Demona later packed it up when she and Angelika left Constantinople and Sigurd's crew.

Odin's Shield was eventually discovered in Japan and put on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan for its Vikings in Japan exhibit. Demona attempted to steal the shield and the Manhattan Clan, believing it could be a magical talisman, thwarted her. But the attempted theft of the shield was a ruse to distract the clan from Demona's true quarry, a Gold Locket. ("A Prize Beyond Compare...")
