Just out of curiosity - have you ever worked out what religion the major (or minor, for that matter) human characters in "Gargoyles" are, if on a purely "for personal amusement" basis? (I doubt that you were seriously planning to bring it up directly in the series, given how tricky handling religion in television can be). We know from Diane's "We can pray, Peter" line in "Deadly Force" that the Mazas have some sort of religious belief, and obviously Max Loew, his Rabbi ancestor, and Janus in "Golem" are/were Jewish, but that's as far as I can guess.

Greg responds...

Matt Bluestone is Jewish.

Maria Chavez is Catholic.

Halcyon Renard is a Calvinist.

Petros Xanatos is Greek Orthodox.

I think that Diane Maza is a member of some Protestant Christian sect, but I'd have to do some research to figure out which one.

Peter Maza spent most of his adult life as a dedicated Agnostic. But since "Cloud Fathers" it would be interesting to see how that's changed.

I think Elisa probably has a background in Christianity from her mother, but probably styled her beliefs after her father. Still, I'm quite certain that all the stories her mother told about African myths and legends helped her maintain an open mind.

I think Derek Maza has a more Christian bent. Maggie Reed too.

Beth Maza's more likely to at least attempt to connect back with Carlos Maza's Native American beliefs.

David Xanatos believes... in himself.

Fox believes in David.

Have I left anyone out?

What would Titania's response be to Renard's death?

Greg responds...

Sadness. Peace.

She'd have been with him, as Anastasia, at the end, along with Fox, Alexander, Vogel and Goliath. I had a story planned for the third season.

Maybe someday...

If this question has already been asked, then feel free to ignore it---I'll eventualy get around to looking at all the archives. (Wow, BIG archives.. 8)

What is David Xanatos's nationality? For that matter, his father's? (or, if it's easier, where his family originally came from 8)

Greg responds...

Petros is from Greece. David is Greek-American.

Approximately how much did Xanatos' Gargoyle Battle Armor Cost?

Greg responds...

I don't have any idea. A lot.

1. By the end of "Journey", does Xanatos realize he has obtained his immortality already through his son or was he going to continue in his attemps to live forever (I realize the two, immortality and living forever are very different which leads me to my next question)?

2. Did Xanatos learn from Hudson in "The Price" the difference between living forever and immortality?

Greg responds...

I'll answer Question 2 first:

Cloud Fathers came after The Price.

As for Question 1, I don't think he'd fully seen the light.

Why was Renard allowed to put a second flying fortress in orbit around the city? If the first one had gone a little bit to the left or right in either direction, it might have hit an area full of people. Wouldn't they consider it to be too much of a danger in case of an error or accident of some sort?

Greg responds...

I'm sure he had to do some politicking.

How does Diane Maza feel about the fact that it was her advice that finally helped Derek decide to work for Xanatos?

Greg responds...

Probably pretty lousy. Wouldn't you think?

Though of course her advice was sound based on the info she had at the time.

Once you stated that as late as 2158 Puck would still be around and stuck as Owen in the mortal world. You also stated that the way Owen avoids the effects of aging is that he basically resets himself whenever he transforms from Puck to Owen. If he is stuck as Owen in 2158, then how does he avoid aging?

Greg responds...

He's stuck starting in 2158. Stuck for a very specific reason. So starting in 2158 he does begin aging normally. Unless the situation changes...

At the end of THE GATHERING 2, did Oberon restore Fortress 2 to the air and fix up Central Park so there was no evidence of any battle, or did he leave it in place?

If it wasn't moved, then how did Renard explain why it crashed again? And if people think that yet another flying fortress crashed, why would they be willing to allow it to go up a third time?

Greg responds...

Do you really think Oberon would have bothered?

And who said it went up a third time?

Oh, man, I forgot to include this question...
1. What's wrong with Renard? Why can't he walk? Why does he look so old? He was young when he married Anastasia.
Thanks for reading!

Greg responds...

Well, first off he married Anastasia a long time ago. But he's also in failing health from an illness that I was thinking might be Multiple Sclerosis. But I'm not sure, and haven't done the research to confirm if the symptoms we've seen him demonstrate fit that disease. I wouldn't want to be innacurate in dealing with something that real and difficult.
