History Characters / GargoylesAntagonists

Xanatos's true love and equal and the original leader of the Pack before parting ways with them. Formerly Janine Renard, she legally changed her name to Fox.

** Lampshaded. When introduced, The Pack were fearsome mercenaries, pulling jobs for money and the thrill of the hunt, which set them against the gargoyles. Come "Upgrades", they're robbing banks just to stay solvent, and do a pretty bad job at it. Nobody's happy that they've been reduced to petty thieves, until Coyote comes back, whereupon they gain the titular upgrades and break out of their decay.

Xanatos's true love and equal. Formerly Janine Renard, she legally changed her name to Fox.

* AxCrazy: Following his FaceHeelTurn. When Vinnie expresses reluctance in the midst of Jon’s excessiveness, the latter immediately pounces on the former, trying to kill him on the spot and screaming that he is a “traitor”. This aspect of him is shown again when he aims to use lethal force on innocent civilians at a Halloween gathering simply because they dressed up as gargoyles.

** He then later bombs the car of Russian mob boss Grisha Volvok in the style of explosive used previously by Jack Dane, which makes Grisha wish for retaliation against Dane's boss, Tomas Brod.
All while his reputation as NOT being this keeps them from suspecting his hand in it all [[spoiler:at least until his attempt to draw Izaak Slaughter, who is a bit more savvy than the others and starts connecting the dots, into the conflict]].

* ManipulativeBastard: Dino's first course of action upon being released from prison is to put the Dracon family at the very top of the New York crime syndicates by manipulating things in order to make the other families take themselves out. He kidnaps two family members of crime bosses Choi Yingpei and Huracán Sanchez and makes it seem like one family kidnapped the other's teenager, pitting both crime families against one another; he then later bombs the car of Russian mob boss Grisha Volvok in the style of explosive used previously by Jack Dane, which makes Grisha wish for retaliation against Dane's boss, Tomas Brod.

* FauxAffablyEvil: If you share abide by his rigid views on gargoyles, he behaves like quite the gentleman. However, should you express the slightest apprehension to these views, the “gentleman” aspect goes flying out the window and reveals a very vindictive and warmongering side to him.

* AntiVillain: He starts out as extremely reluctant in his villainy and quite willing to give up his life as a Hunter. It doesn't last.

* AffablyEvil: He's quite a gentleman.

* DirtyCoward: Make no mistake- Thailog does ''not'' fight fair. He lacks the desire to engage in direct combat, often manuevering his enemies into positions where they eliminate each other. When he does fight, he always tries to have some advantage over his opponent.

* ManipulativeBastard: Dino's first course of action upon being released from prison is to put the Dracon family at the very top of the New York crime syndicates by manipulating things in order to make the other families take themselves out. He kidnaps Peter Choy and Rosaria Sanchez, who are family members of crime bosses Choi Yingpei and Huracán Sanchez respectively, and makes it seem like one family kidnapped the other's teenager, pitting both crime families against one another; he then later bombs the car of Russian mob boss Grisha Volvok in the style of explosive used previously by Jack Dane, which makes Grisha wish for retaliation against Dane's boss, Tomas Brod.

* BigEgoHiddenDepths: She's proudly amoral and {{Ubermensch}}-like, stating her wish to live forever and rule the world casually. When she's turned into a werefox, however, it's quickly revealed that stripped her most basic instincts Fox deeply hates herself, to the point where when she briefly sees Elisa as herself and goes berserk trying to kill her.

* GutturalGrowler: Dingo ([[Creator/JimCummings of course]]) and Wolf, especially after the latter's upgrade.

* GutturalGrowler: A given for any character played by Creator/JimCummings.

** Xanatos who is usually too proud to seek help and tries to remain calm under pressure actually begs Goliath in tears to help him save Fox when he had realized the Eye of Odin had turned her into a ravenous beast that will starve to death. This is what gets the suspicious Goliath to agree despite his misgivings.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: As a consequence of EvilCannotComprehendGood, Demona has a massive blind spot when it comes to how moral other people are. She believed that Macbeth would willingly betray her and her clan to the English (who were led by Macbeth's enemy the Hunter, and despite Macbeth having been a loyal ally of Demona's for decades), and at different points, believed that Goliath, Brooklyn, Coldstone, and Angela could all be brought around to her way of thinking about humanity. She also genuinely believed that Thailog (who had previously turned on and tried to kill his own creators) cared about her and could be trusted.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Iago/Coldsteel was this for the Wyvern Clan. While the clan was noble (with even Demona still being a Face at the time), he was deceitful, self-seving and cruel. WordOfGod states that he worked for the Archmage for a bit and was even banished (temporarily) by Goliath for his trouble-making before the Wyvern massacre.[[invoked]]

* HargeHam: When he acquires his new robotic body, he really hams it up the scene.

Billionaire responsible for breaking the Magus' spell over the Gargoyles. Determined, practical and brilliant, he searches for eternal life and comfort, and finds something altogether different.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:[[ForWantOfANail Slashing Gillecomgain's face created the Hunter, and his legacy that haunts her to this very day.]]]]

Introduced in the comic continuation, Shari is a mysterious girl with a high standing in the Illuminati (one of the nine Nines), who first appears in the Labyrinth, pretending to be one of the homeless who live there. When Thailog attacks, she volunteers to go warn Goliath, but never does. She currently aids Thailog as his assistant. Strongly implied to be [[Literature/ArabianNights Shahrazad]].

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Given that she's hinted to be Shahrazad of the ''[[Literature/ArabianNights One Thousand and One Arabian Nights]]'' and the Illuminati have means of extending longevity.

* ThisCannotBe: Refreshingly, he has this reaction in issue #3 of the Dynamite Comics revival when it’s revealed that Talon’s and Maggie’s baby [[spoiler: seemingly]] didn’t inherit either one of his mutate parents’ traits and is just a regular human. He is so shocked and disgusted, he relinquishes the newborn without a moment’s hesitation.
