The Clones, except for Delilah

The Clones are five cloned gargoyles created by Sevarius for Demona and Thailog, to provide Demona with a clan of her own, and Thailog with "flunkies."

History

The idea to create the Clones was Thailog's, Demona simply went along with it. They obtained the DNA necessary for their creation from Demona during the time that she was held prisoner in the Labyrinth, via robotic mosquitos which bit Hudson and the Trio, obtaining gene samples from them and transporting them back to Sevarius at Nightstone Unlimited. From these, Sevarius created the clones known as Burbank, Malibu, Brentwood, and Hollywood. At Thailog's secret request, without Demona's knowledge, he created Delilah from the combined DNA of Demona and Elisa.

The Clones were artificially aged, like Thailog, to bring them into the prime of life equivalent to a human in their mid-twenties, thus making them a little older than the trio, and much younger than Hudson, and generally much tougher when they were pitted against the Manhattan Clan at Coney Island. This rapid aging also accounts for their odd skin and hair pigmentation. At Sevarius' advice, Thailog kept their programming simple, merely instructing them to obey him. With their help, he and Demona defeated Goliath and his clan at the Coney Island Amusement Park, but after Demona freed the clan to save Angela from Thailog, the Clones were defeated. After Thailog's apparent death in the roller-coaster fire, the Clones were left without any direction; Talon decided to take them under his care at the Labyrinth, where he and the other Mutates could teach them to think for themselves (and use verbs) ("The Reckoning").

Not long after, Thailog invaded the Labyrinth, ostensibly to retrieve his "property," and initially the male clones obeyed his orders. In the end however, only Brentwood willingly chose to join Thailog permanently, while the others chose to return to the Labyrinth and live with the Mutates ("Masque"), ("Bash"). These four gargoyles would form the basis of the Labyrinth Clan.

The descendants of the clones will still be around by 2198. Around that time it is rumored that further clones have been created in the Labyrinth.
