* FreudianExcuse / TragicBigot: Her hated gargoyles began as fear because her father sometimes used them as boogeymen to scare her into obedience.
** HarmfulToMinors: One of the first instances she saw a gargoyle as a young girl is when Hudson failed to protect her father Prince Malcolm from being attacked, which stresses this point even further.

[[caption-width-right:325:What I did to the gargoyles a thousand years ago was unforgivable. I owed to Goliath to tend the eggs.]]
The castle mage of Wyvern and Princess Katharine's advisor. He is responsible for the Manhattan Clan living to the present day, cursing them to remain as statues for a thousand years in a fit of rage when he believes them to have caused Katharine's death. He tries to atone by raising the eggs from the Wyvern rookery on Avalon. [[spoiler:When the Archmage attack the island, he [[WizardDuel duels]] with the Weird Sisters, though his age has left him severely weakened. He manages to achieve victory in the final moments, but it costs him his life in the process...maybe]].
----
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: He loved Katharine, but she never noticed.
* TheAloner: He becomes this after Katharine falls for Tom.
* TheApprentice: He was once the Archmage's pupil.

* CourtMage: He took the Archmage's place after his former mentor's disgrace.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: He never ends up with Katharine.

* ManInWhite: He's only ever seen in his white robes.
* PromotionToParent: After agreeing to help raise the gargoyle eggs.
* RedeemingReplacement: To the Archmage.

* SquishyWizard: He's not much use in combat without his magic, and in the second episode, he is specifically noted as being unable to wield a sword.

----
* {{Badass}}: Grows into one.
* BadassAdorable: As a child.
* BadassGrandpa: As an adult.
* BadassNormal: No superhuman abilities, weaponry, or skill, yet he takes an active role in the defense of Avalon.
* BreakTheCutie: Subtle, but the Wyvern massacre, seeing Constantine murder King Kenneth, and being separated from his mother had an effect on Tom. Even as an adult, he tears up when recalling Mary's departure.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: At first, he's the only human apart from the Captain to show the gargoyles any kindness.
* HarmfulToMinors: Witnessing the murder of Kenneth by Constantine when he was about 10 years old was a traumatic experience for him, although he seemed to get better during the escape from Edinburgh Castle.
* HeroicBSOD: As a result of the above-mentioned traumatic experience. "I found him curled among the eggs..."
* KidHero: When he was a child.
* KnightInShiningArmor: A Mannhatan policeman said he looked like he walked out of King Arthur's day because of his armor and his chivalry.

Elisa's partner on the force. Convinced of the existence of the Illuminati.

* BadassNormal: An ordinary man who managed to single-handedly uncover the existence of the Illuminati.
* BadassLongcoat: Matt is almost never seen without his trenchcoat.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Especially about the Illuminati. He is [[ProperlyParanoid 100% right]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: Is briefly shown driving with Chavez in "Deadly Force" before being introduced in "The Edge." (Chavez even notes his previous involvement in the preceding case.)
* FairCop: Quite a handsome fellow, and a detective to boot.
* FriendOnTheForce: Even more than Elisa, he uses his power as a policeman to help the Manhattan clan, such as pestering Xanatos to ensure their well-being once they move back into the castle. Once he becomes the head of the Gargoyle Taskforce, he actively uses his position as someone who is supposed to be hunting them to ''protect'' them, and he's none too shy about it.
* ProperlyParanoid:
** As noted above, the Illuminati ''do'' exist and eventually induct Matt into their ranks because they're were impressed at his perseverance in trying to prove it.
** Early in the series, he believed the gargoyles are real despite "proof" that they're robots.
* RedHeadedHero: Just look at him.
* SecretKeeper: For both the gargoyles and the Illuminati:
** After he learned the truth from Mace Malone, Matt convinces Elisa to allow him to meet the gargoyles, and subsequently kept the secret.
** In spite of his initial desire to "bust the Illuminati's organization wide open," his initiation into the Illuminati convinces him not to tell anybody what he had learned about them.

* HandicappedBadass: In the episode "The Dying of the Light."
* NiceGuy: Quite so. Even after he figures out that Hudson is a gargoyle, he continues to respect him and treat him as a friend.
* ReadingIsCoolAesop: Delivers one to Hudson.

* LovedINotHonorMore: Pretty much his defining character trait. It cost him his wife, his daughter, and nearly his life but he soldiers on none the less.
* NotSoDifferent: A major step towards him and Goliath becoming friends despite [[{{LetsYouandHimFight}}past experiences]] is when he realizes that Goliath has made the same kind of sacrifices for honor that he has.

----
* GooGooGodlike: Has a lot of magical potential. And he's a baby.
* HalfHumanHybrid: His mother is half-magical.
* JackOfAllStats: Implied. He has Puck as his personal magical tutor, his mother is a former mercenary, and his father is a genius industrialist and corporate CEO. Assuming that there's any truth to the one vision of the future where [[LegacyCharacter he takes up the mantle of "Fox" from his mother]][[note]] That vision turned out to be AllJustADream, but it also depicted Xanatos as having a son named "Alexander" well before Alex was actually born, and Puck teasingly hinted that it was at least partially a prophecy.[[/note]], Alex could very well grow up to be one of the most versatile opponents in the Gargverse.
* MoralityPet: Both of his parents have done many evil, selfish things in the past. However, when it comes to their son, they show their more human side. In fact, when the gargoyles helped his son, Xanatos began to rethink his priorities.

Elisa's younger brother. He starts out as a pilot in the NY police force, but is manipulated into becoming Xanatos's helicopter pilot late in the first season. Xanatos and Anton Sevarius later use him as a test subject in their experiments to create their own gargoyle-like beings, resulting in Derek being mutated into a panther/bat/eel hybrid and renaming himself "Talon." He becomes the leader of the Labyrinth Clan, providing homes and protection for the homeless of New York.
----

* LegoGenetics: Panther, bat, and electric eel DNA mixed into human.
* MyBelovedSmother: This is initially inverted when his mother is the only member who supports his idea of working for Xanatos and following his own path in life.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When he realizes that Xanatos had been playing him from the very beginning.
* OfficialCouple: With Maggie as of "Kingdom."
* PhlebotinumRebel: He turned on Xanatos after realizing who had truly been responsible for his mutation.
* ShockAndAwe: Due to the electric eel DNA that Sevarius included in the mutagen that transformed him.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: After Derek is changed into Talon, he wants to hide his identity from Elisa to spare her the distress of knowing what happened to him.

----
* CatGirl: A girl who is turned into a cat.
* DeathSeeker: In "The Cage," she almost becomes one. When Sevarius prepares an "antidote" to the mutation, she is willing to risk drinking what is almost certainly poison because she doesn't think living as a monster is worth it.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: To the point that she was willing to take a potentially fatal serum for the sake of changing back to human. Talon manages to talk her out of it.
* LegoGenetics: A victim of it.

[[caption-width-right:325:There are forces at war within me and until that battle is decided, no living gargoyle is safe...from Coldstone.]]
A gargoyle cyborg created by Xanatos and Demona from the remains of three of the lost in the Wyvern massacre, and animated by a combination of science and sorcery. Unfortunately, the three souls inhabiting the body don't always get along; two are mates, but the third is jealous and wants the female for himself. They were collectively known as just "Coldstone" until near the end of the series, when Xanatos created two additional robot bodies so each of the three had their own; now the main personality is Coldstone, his mate is Coldfire, and the evil one is Coldsteel.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: Before being separated and given their "Cold_____" names, the scripts referred to the individual gargoyles as [[Theatre/{{Othello}} Othello, Desdemona and Iago]].
* ArmCannon: Built into his right arm.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Even after relaxing the standards for an imaginary species and again for bionic support systems, a body with immune systems from three (four?) different sources should be suffering a lot of health problems. Possibly justified by the fact that Coldstone was created by a combination of [[AWizardDidIt Xanatos's science and Demona's magic]], and the normal rules of gargoyle biology (such as stone sleep during the day) don't apply to Coldstone.
* BadassBaritone: Othello/Coldstone.

[[caption-width-right:325:I'm just so...tired.]]
The historical king of Scotland. After losing his kingdom and family, he seeks to find and kill the one responsible: Demona.
----
* ActuallyADoombot: In "The Price," the Macbeths that the Manhattan Clan fought were actually robots. Xanatos was responsible for them however, not Macbeth.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Macbeth isn't actively malevolent, although he is willing to use some amoral means of avenging himself upon Demona.
* AntiVillain: Both Type I and II. He's polite, honorable and quite sympathetic in general. He wouldn't have attacked the gargoyles at all really, if it weren't for his obsessive desire for revenge against Demona.
** AntiHero: In the post-series comics.
* BadassBaritone: Courtesy of Creator/JohnRhysDavies.
* BadassBeard: He's had one for his entire adult life (all 960-odd years of it).
* BadassGrandpa: He's biologically 52, chronologically close to 1000, and he can handle any of the gargoyles in single combat, even managing to come close to subduing ''all'' of the Manhattan clan in their first encounter.
* BadassLongcoat: In the present day, Macbeth almost always wears a black duster.
* BeardOfEvil: While he acts as an antagonist to the clan.
* CoolOldGuy: ''Very'' old, in fact.
* DeathSeeker: Initially. Even some of his later schemes seem suicidal, though that may be because he knows that nothing can kill him except Demona.
* DirtyOldMan: When he was under the Weird Sisters' spell in "High Noon," he seemed to find Demona's and Elisa's wrestling particularly...diverting.
* DisneyDeath: When Canmore lethally stabs him in the backstory of "City of Stone," and when Elisa lethally shoots Demona in "Sanctuary."
* DragonWithAnAgenda: In his first appearance, he takes a job as a gargoyle hunter on Xanatos's behalf, as part of his own BatmanGambit to lure out Demona. He even notes that the only reason he took money to do X's dirty work is because it would have been suspicious to do it for free. Averted in later appearances, where he makes no pretense of being anything other than his own independent faction [[spoiler:except when under the Weird Sisters' control]].
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Twice over. Started out a BadassNormal, then acquired immortality courtesy of the Weird Sisters and Demona, then learned sorcery at some unspecified point.
* EvilSoundsDeep: See BadassBaritone.
* FantasticRacism: Averted, unlike many other humans who were wronged by Demona. He focuses his hatred exclusively on her and doesn't have much of a problem with any other gargoyles.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Mainly in "City of Stone." He dons the Hunter's mask to fight Demona (the first three Hunters having all been bitter enemies to Macbeth), and was willing to disregard the lives of Xanatos, the gargoyles, and the fate of everyone in New York for the sake of his vengeance.
* HonorBeforeReason: He refuses to attack gargoyles while they're in stone sleep, but he has no qualms against fighting them when they're conscious and can fight back. Duty and honor are also sort of his defining traits. In fact, Goliath nearly breaks him out from under [[spoiler:the Archmage's brainwashing]] by reminding him of it.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: The only way Macbeth can die is if he kills or is killed by Demona. He spent "City of Stone" actively trying to accomplish this.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: More like "I want my beloved to be safe"; in the 11th century, Macbeth broke off his relationship with Gruoch for the sake of her safety (refusing to let her go could have led to them both being executed for defying Duncan's decree that Gruoch marry Gillecomgain).
* KingIncognito: The comics show that when Robert the Bruce of Scotland fought against the English in the late 13th or early 14th century, Macbeth fought alongside him. Presumably, nobody knew that he was ''the'' Macbeth.
* KneelBeforeZod: Macbeth demanded that King Arthur kneel before him. It doesn't work and later, Macbeth ended kneeling before Arthur.
* LegallyDead: After Canmore "killed" him in 1057, and they NeverFoundTheBody.
* MagicKnight: He's primarily a straight-forward fighter, but has been shown to be a capable sorcerer on several occasions.
* NobleDemon: A milder case, but he's still capable of being very ruthless if he feels it's necessary.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Closer to 990, actually.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: "Canmore, your father was an evil man who deserved his fate."
* VillainousFriendship: He was on good terms with his henchmen, Banquo and Fleance (although he wasn't above threatening them while searching for the Scrolls of Merlin), even informing them of his immortality and having them come to his wedding. Though by the comics, he tersely mentions that they've since parted ways and they signed up with the Quarrymen.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Demona were once comrades, and even friends, until her betrayal in 1058.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Against Demona, on occasion, although his motives in seeking her death are more personal than altruistic.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: His initial plans were all about goading Demona into killing him because he couldn't stand living forever. [[spoiler:After "City of Stone," Goliath talks him out of it and he looks for things to occupy himself. While he never believes LivingForeverIsAwesome, he doesn't want to die anymore.]]
* WorthyOpponent: One of the only humans who can match Goliath in hand-to-hand combat ''without'' genetic enhancements, PoweredArmor or the like, but also an opponent who share's the gargoyle leader's old-school warrior's values.
** Even while under the Weird Sisters' control, he relished the chance to fight King Arthur, remarking that he'd always wanted to test his skills against "the best."
* YouKilledMyFather: Macbeth's reason for seeking revenge against Gillecomgain.
* [[YoungerThanTheyLook Younger Than He Looks]] / [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than He Looks]]: He's legitimately been ''both''--[[spoiler:when he was 35, he traded his youth to Demona in exchange for an alliance, and aged to 52, thus looking older than he really was. However, said trade wound up making them both immortal at that age, so he has continued to look 52 even on reaching his present-day age of roughly one thousand.]]

Yes, THAT King Arthur. Per the Arthurian mythos, he is initially kept in a magical slumber on the island of Avalon, but is awakened by Elisa seeking assistance during the Archmage's attack on the Avalon clan. After the Archmage's defeat, he heads out into the world to seek his old sword Excalibur and his old friend Merlin.

The captain of the Wyvern Castle guard. At the start of the series, he is sympathetic to the gargoyles and identifies with them more than with the human population of the castle. [[spoiler:Trying to grant a better life to the clan, he betrays the castle to Hakon's band of vikings, expecting them to drive out the humans while leaving the castle to the gargoyles. The plan backfires when Hakon shatters all the gargoyles anyway and tries to put the blame on the captain. Both of them plummet to their deaths before Goliath can have revenge on either of them.]]

The ruler of Castle Wyvern. She initially fears the gargoyles and only begrudgingly allows them to stay and defend the castle.

* TheAtoner: After Goliath saves her.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: She ''is'' a princess, after all. She wasn't very nice before Goliath saved her life, though.
* FantasticRacism: Initially hated gargoyles as much as any human. After the attack and spending some time on Avalon, she inverts this trope and calls the newborns "my eggs."
* FreudianExcuse / TragicBigot: Her hated gargoyles began as fear because her father sometimes used them as boogeymen to scare her into obedience.
** HarmfulToMinors: One of the first instances she saw a gargoyle as a young girl is when Hudson failed to protect her father Prince Malcolm from being attacked, which stresses this point even further.

The castle mage of Wyvern and Princess Katharine's advisor. He is responsible for the Manhattan Clan living to the present day, cursing them to remain as statues for a thousand years in a fit of rage when he believes them to have caused Katharine's death. He tries to atone by raising the eggs from the Wyvern rookery on Avalon.

* SquishyWizard: He's not much use in combat without his magic, and in the second episode, he is specifically noted as being unable to wield a sword.

* BadassNormal: No superhuman abilities, weaponry, or skill, yet he takes an active role in the defense of Avalon.
* BreakTheCutie: Subtle, but the Wyvern massacre, seeing Constantine murder King Kenneth, and being separated from his mother had an effect on Tom. Even as an adult, he tears up when recalling Mary's departure.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: At first, he's the only human apart from the Captain to show the gargoyles any kindness.
* HarmfulToMinors: Witnessing the murder of Kenneth by Constantine when he was about 10 years old was a traumatic experience for him, although he seemed to get better during the escape from Edinburgh Castle.
* HeroicBSOD: As a result of the above-mentioned traumatic experience. "I found him curled among the eggs..."

* FairCop: Quite a handsome fellow, and a detective to boot.
* FriendOnTheForce: Even more than Elisa, he uses his power as a policeman to help the Manhattan clan, such as pestering Xanatos to ensure their well-being once they move back into the castle. Once he becomes the head of the Gargoyle Taskforce, he actively uses his position as someone who is supposed to be hunting them to ''protect'' them, and he's none too shy about it.
* ProperlyParanoid:
** As noted above, the Illuminati ''do'' exist and eventually induct Matt into their ranks because they're were impressed at his perseverance in trying to prove it.
** Early in the series, he believed the gargoyles are real despite "proof" that they're robots.
* RedHeadedHero: Just look at him.
* SecretKeeper: For both the gargoyles and the Illuminati:
** After he learned the truth from Mace Malone, Matt convinces Elisa to allow him to meet the gargoyles, and subsequently kept the secret.

Unfortunately, the three souls inhabiting the body don't always get along; two are mates, but the third is jealous and wants the female for himself.

Possibly justified by the fact that Coldstone was created by a combination of [[AWizardDidIt Xanatos's science and Demona's magic]], and the normal rules of gargoyle biology (such as stone sleep during the day) don't apply to Coldstone.
* BadassBaritone: Othello/Coldstone.
* ChangedMyMindKid: [[spoiler:Coldstone and Coldfire officially rejoin the Manhattan Clan at the end of the comics continuity.]]
* CombatTentacles: Coldsteel's weapons in his new body.
* EnemyWithin: Iago/Coldsteel
** EnemyWithout: Iago/Coldsteel becomes this after gaining his own body.
* EvilSoundsDeep: When Iago is in control.
* HealingFactor: Coldsteel's new body is shown being able to self-repair parts of its body.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Iago's corrupting presence kept him at arms' length for much of the series as an untrustworthy WildCard.
* LivingStatue: He is a collection of three shattered gargoyles brought to life through Demona's sorcery.
* LoveTriangle: Coldstone and Coldfire are mates, but Coldsteel wants Coldfire for himself.
* HollywoodCyborg: To the point where one leg has a length of cybernetics connecting his calf to his ankle.
* ManipulativeBastard: [[MeaningfulName Iago]]. Go figure.
* PhlebotinumRebel: He turned on Xanatos and Demona when he realized that there should be more to life than mere survival.
* PlayingWithFire: Coldfire's flamethrowers.

[[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Macbeth_8104.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:325:I'm just so...tired.]]
The historical king of Scotland. After losing his kingdom and family, he seeks to find and kill the one responsible: Demona.
----
* ActuallyADoombot: In "The Price," the Macbeths that the Manhattan Clan fought were actually robots. Xanatos was responsible for them however, not Macbeth.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Macbeth isn't actively malevolent, although he is willing to use some amoral means of avenging himself upon Demona.
* AntiVillain: Both Type I and II. He's polite, honorable and quite sympathetic in general. He wouldn't have attacked the gargoyles at all really, if it weren't for his obsessive desire for revenge against Demona.
** AntiHero: In the post-series comics.
* BadassBaritone: Courtesy of Creator/JohnRhysDavies.
* BadassBeard: He's had one for his entire adult life (all 960-odd years of it).
* BadassGrandpa: He's biologically 52, chronologically close to 1000, and he can handle any of the gargoyles in single combat, even managing to come close to subduing ''all'' of the Manhattan clan in their first encounter.
* BadassLongcoat: In the present day, Macbeth almost always wears a black duster.
* BeardOfEvil: While he acts as an antagonist to the clan.
* CoolOldGuy: ''Very'' old, in fact.
* DeathSeeker: Initially. Even some of his later schemes seem suicidal, though that may be because he knows that nothing can kill him except Demona.
* DirtyOldMan: When he was under the Weird Sisters' spell in "High Noon," he seemed to find Demona's and Elisa's wrestling particularly...diverting.
* DisneyDeath: When Canmore lethally stabs him in the backstory of "City of Stone," and when Elisa lethally shoots Demona in "Sanctuary."
* DragonWithAnAgenda: In his first appearance, he takes a job as a gargoyle hunter on Xanatos's behalf, as part of his own BatmanGambit to lure out Demona. He even notes that the only reason he took money to do X's dirty work is because it would have been suspicious to do it for free. Averted in later appearances, where he makes no pretense of being anything other than his own independent faction [[spoiler:except when under the Weird Sisters' control]].
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Twice over. Started out a BadassNormal, then acquired immortality courtesy of the Weird Sisters and Demona, then learned sorcery at some unspecified point.
* EvilSoundsDeep: See BadassBaritone.
* FantasticRacism: Averted, unlike many other humans who were wronged by Demona. He focuses his hatred exclusively on her and doesn't have much of a problem with any other gargoyles.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Mainly in "City of Stone." He dons the Hunter's mask to fight Demona (the first three Hunters having all been bitter enemies to Macbeth), and was willing to disregard the lives of Xanatos, the gargoyles, and the fate of everyone in New York for the sake of his vengeance.
* HonorBeforeReason: He refuses to attack gargoyles while they're in stone sleep, but he has no qualms against fighting them when they're conscious and can fight back. Duty and honor are also sort of his defining traits. In fact, Goliath nearly breaks him out from under [[spoiler:the Archmage's brainwashing]] by reminding him of it.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: The only way Macbeth can die is if he kills or is killed by Demona. He spent "City of Stone" actively trying to accomplish this.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: More like "I want my beloved to be safe"; in the 11th century, Macbeth broke off his relationship with Gruoch for the sake of her safety (refusing to let her go could have led to them both being executed for defying Duncan's decree that Gruoch marry Gillecomgain).
* KingIncognito: The comics show that when Robert the Bruce of Scotland fought against the English in the late 13th or early 14th century, Macbeth fought alongside him. Presumably, nobody knew that he was ''the'' Macbeth.
* KneelBeforeZod: Macbeth demanded that King Arthur kneel before him. It doesn't work and later, Macbeth ended kneeling before Arthur.
* LegallyDead: After Canmore "killed" him in 1057, and they NeverFoundTheBody.
* MagicKnight: He's primarily a straight-forward fighter, but has been shown to be a capable sorcerer on several occasions.
* NobleDemon: A milder case, but he's still capable of being very ruthless if he feels it's necessary.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Closer to 990, actually.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: "Canmore, your father was an evil man who deserved his fate."
* VillainousFriendship: He was on good terms with his henchmen, Banquo and Fleance (although he wasn't above threatening them while searching for the Scrolls of Merlin), even informing them of his immortality and having them come to his wedding. Though by the comics, he tersely mentions that they've since parted ways and they signed up with the Quarrymen.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Demona were once comrades, and even friends, until her betrayal in 1058.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Against Demona, on occasion, although his motives in seeking her death are more personal than altruistic.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: His initial plans were all about goading Demona into killing him because he couldn't stand living forever. [[spoiler:After "City of Stone," Goliath talks him out of it and he looks for things to occupy himself. While he never believes LivingForeverIsAwesome, he doesn't want to die anymore.]]
* WorthyOpponent: One of the only humans who can match Goliath in hand-to-hand combat ''without'' genetic enhancements, PoweredArmor or the like, but also an opponent who share's the gargoyle leader's old-school warrior's values.
** Even while under the Weird Sisters' control, he relished the chance to fight King Arthur, remarking that he'd always wanted to test his skills against "the best."
* YouKilledMyFather: Macbeth's reason for seeking revenge against Gillecomgain.
* [[YoungerThanTheyLook Younger Than He Looks]] / [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than He Looks]]: He's legitimately been ''both''--[[spoiler:when he was 35, he traded his youth to Demona in exchange for an alliance, and aged to 52, thus looking older than he really was. However, said trade wound up making them both immortal at that age, so he has continued to look 52 even on reaching his present-day age of roughly one thousand.]]

[[caption-width-right:325:I will prove my worthiness, though I have to pull Excalibur from a hundred stones!]]
Yes, THAT King Arthur. Per the Arthurian mythos, he is initially kept in a magical slumber on the island of Avalon, but is awakened by Elisa seeking assistance during the Archmage's attack on the Avalon clan. After the Archmage's defeat, he heads out into the world to seek his old sword Excalibur and his old friend Merlin.
----
* {{Badass}}: He's a warrior king. Macbeth, no slouch himself, refers to him as "the best."
* BadassBeard: Distinguished and impressive.
* BadassGrandpa: Even without his centuries under the Hollow Hill, Arthur is at least old enough to have some gray in his hair.
* CarryABigStick: He fight with a mace until he retrieves Excalibur.
* {{Excalibur}}: Take a wild guess.
* EleventhHourRanger: During the Avalon arc.
* EternalEnglish: He has no problem communicating with anyone despite having been asleep since the 6th century by his own account.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Wouldn't be King Arthur without Excalibur.
* KingInTheMountain: Until Elisa wakes him up.
* TheLeader: Noted for his leadership skills several times.
* OrderReborn: After the Avalon arc he set about rebuilding the Knights of the Round Table. [[spoiler: He starts with Griff, a gargoyle from the London clan.]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's around 1500 years old.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Helps out in the Avalon arc and later.
* WalkingTheEarth: What he proceeds to do after the Archmage's defeat. His search for Merlin was intended as the basis of its own spin-off, ''Pendragon'', which unfortunately was never made (though the Stone of Destiny arc in the comics continuation is essentially a preview of it).
