How did Canmore find out about Macbeth and Demona's link? How did those rumors get started?
Greg responds...
Think about it. Macbeth ages nearly twenty years in one night and suddenly has a gargoyle ally... Plus a few people knew about the "bargain" including Bodhe. Word was bound to get around. Not necessarily accurate word. But word.
Makhasu writes...
Did Demona's low opinion of humans change at all during Macbeth's golden age of rule? She and her clan's treatment was very different from what it had been before, and his reign is the only time we ever see Demona truly happy and content.
Greg responds...
I think it did -- at least briefly but certainly superficially.
Makhasu writes...
Have you changed any of your original plans for future plots recently? Are there any answers you've given on Ask Greg that are no longer correct?
Greg responds...
I'm sure there are a ton of answers that are no longer correct. Heck, I'm sure that there were a few answers that were incorrect back when I first typed them.
I have made a conscious decision not to change anything "revealed" at ASK GREG, simply because I've revealed it already. If I still like the idea and it still feels right and makes sense for the characters and I haven't thought of a better notion then I'll just use what I have and live with the fact that the fans won't be surprised by anything (except perhaps how the idea is executed).
But having said that, I have always maintained that nothing is truly canon unless it appears in an official "episode" which at this point for me includes the 65 tv eps of the first two seasons of the show and the two issues of the SLG published comic. (Soon to be first three issues.) I also feel pretty secure about events in issues 4-7, which are all fully scripted. I don't anticipate anything changing them, but until they hit the stands, they are NOT canon. Call them canon-waiting-in-the wings. Whereas ASK GREG material is canon-in-training at best.

What did Macbeth's subjects think of him aging suddenly from 35 to 52 overnight? Did he ever give an explanation for the change?
Greg responds...
I'm sure he made a point NOT to give an explanation, and I'm sure everyone assumed the truth, i.e. sorcery.
Makhasu writes...
Did Macbeth have any advisors other than Demona? If so, how well did they get along with Demona?
Greg responds...
Clearly, he had Bodhe, who was probably afraid of Demona. But I'm sure he had others, and some would have gotten along with her better than others did. But I tend to think that Demona reported directly (and to some extent privately) with Macbeth, limiting her "camaradery" with the rest of his "staff".
Makhasu writes...
What's Macbeth opinion about Gargoyles as a species?
Greg responds...
See issue #2 of the comic for a fairly good idea.
Makhasu writes...
The Scottish people seemed pretty hateful/fearful towards gargoyles before Macbeth's reign. How was he able to change opinions and get people to accept Demona and her clan?
Greg responds...
Winners tend to get to make the rules. And the gargoyles helped the winning side win. So that went a LONG way toward reducing more OVERT prejudice.
Makhasu writes...
Did the English really care about exterminating Demona and her clan like Bodhe thought?
Greg responds...
It was only an excuse. They had larger political, religious and territorial concerns. (Not that they LIKED gargoyles.)
Makhasu writes...
Does Macbeth have any close friends? If so, do any of them know who he really is?
Greg responds...
I'm not revealing this at this time.
Makhasu writes...
Who came up with the idea for the Paris scheme against Macbeth? Thailog or Demona?
Greg responds...
Thailog.
