History Characters / GargoylesTheManhattanClan

** This happens again when[[spoiler: the Pack comes to kill him, Dracon, Brod and the jailer. Goliath subdues the Pack and refuses again to escape.]]

** In the comics, [[spoiler:Goliath has been imprisoned by the authorities. Brooklyn attempts to bust him out of jail, but Goliath chooses to remain captive and orders him to leave.]]

** At the end of season 2, Demona was on the verge of killing all humans. That would be mean, no more hatred toward their kind, no more fear of being shattered during the day and no more hiding. Instead, Goliath saved humanity and has forsaken their chance for safety.

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: Goliath is recognized as the powerhouse of the Manhattan Clan in addition to being its leader. [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership This is not a coincidence]]. Demona said during a flashback that his strength is why he should lead.

* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: She is one of the very few female gargoyles that averts this in the show proper, covering her midriff despite being [[TheHeart gentle and feminine]] (probably to provide a contrast between[[SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains her and her psychotic mother Demona]]) - but then plays it straight in the comics.

* CallingTheOldManOut: In "The Reckoning", Angela is ''furious'' when Thailog reveals that Demona already knew she's her daughter and had attempted to try and sway Angela to her way of thinking. She does not accept Demona's excuse of "trying to make her understand", as all she sees is nothing more than a ploy to turn her against Goliath and the Clan for her own selfishness.

* ClassicalAntiHero: Coldstone/Othello isn't a bad guy, but he certainly has his flaws, being quick to anger and at times, needing a push to do the right thing, such as in "High Noon", where Desdemona and the Weird Sisters had to convince him to intervene and remove their body from Iago's control.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Iago's corrupting presence kept Coldstone at arms' length from the rest of the clan for much of the series as an untrustworthy WildCard until the personas were finally separated.

* MindHive

* BloodKnight: Very eager to take part in battle, so much so that she flagrantly defies Hudson's order for her and her rookery siblings to stay out of the battle with Culen's forces in case things went badly, convincing Demona to join her, and clearly relishes the combat once she swoops in. This leads to Verity being distracted and stabbed.

* InSeriesNickname: Unlike most of the other 10th century gargoyle characters whose nicknames are AllInTheManual, "Antiope" is actually used in-universe as the name Robbie's daughter Alesand assigns to her for the benefit of her human need to have names to refer to her new friends by (even if only in her own mind). It's unknown yet if the gargoyle herself ever used it.

* RagsToRiches: As a gargoyle, he sees no need to accumulate materialistic wealth of any kind. [[spoiler:This doesn't stop Halcyon Renard from naming him as his third beneficiary after his daughter Fox and grandson Alexander, with Goliath receiving 2% of Renard's Cyberbiotics fortune. Xanatos comments that it might not make him as rich as Thailog, but that's still a ''lot'' of zeroes to suddenly come into his possession.]]

* HeroesWantRedheads: He was deeply in love with Demona, but the red hair is apparently not a dealbreaker because he moved on to the black-haired Elisa.
