The Founding Members of the Manhattan Clan in 1994

Manhattan Clan - A gargoyle clan living in Manhattan, founded in 1994.


History

The Manhattan clan is an offshoot of the original Wyvern Clan. Approximately one thousand years after the Wyvern Massacre and stone-sleep spell cast on the surviving members, David Xanatos bought and transported Castle Wyvern to the top of the Eyrie Building, thus breaking the spell and waking Goliath, Hudson, Brooklyn, Lexington, Broadway, and Bronx.

Xanatos reunited Goliath with Demona, and she and Xanatos tricked Goliath and his clan into committing crimes against Cyberbiotics. Eventually, Demona showed her hatred for humans when Goliath mentioned his human friend, Elisa, causing a rift between the two gargoyles.

Elisa ultimately showed Goliath and his clan that Xanatos was their enemy, and was instrumental in landing him in jail. Elisa also found the clan a new home in the clock tower above her police precint. Some time after the move, Angela left her clan on Avalon, and joined her father, Goliath, and his clan in Manhattan.

The clan lived there until the trio of Hunters destroyed the clocktower, whereupon the members of the clan were forced to accept Xanatos' offer of returning to Castle Wyvern.

Characteristics

All members share the same skin and general wing type, meaning not feathered, and most only have one brow ridge. Chin, elbow, wing-joint, and knee spurrs are not very common, and the most common wing-type is a "full wing," where each non-thumb digit sports a membrane. The least common wing-type is the "web-wing," as per Lexington.
