Greetings, Mr. Weisman. One thing that fascinates me most about "Gargoyles" is the attention to, (and characterization of), minor characters. Especially for the gargoyle from the flashbacks of "City of Stone" who wore plates of armor . (I'm assuming he was second-in-command, if Demona even bothered to choose one.) Seeing how this gargoyle was characterized inspired my question. It seems that, throughout the flashbacks, he has something he wants to say to Demona, but is afraid of how she'll react, given how she reacted when he spoke about making peace with the humans. The question is: What exactly was Demona's relationship with the clan that she rebuilt after the massacre at Wyvern? Some seemed afraid of her, and there was one cene in a melee where she said something like, "Come to me, my warriors!", which made it appear as if she owned them. Also, Macbeth once referred to Demona as the gargoyles' queen. Did she rule over the clan? Did she consider those gargoyles as her "l yal subjects,"
or as equals?

Greg responds...

Demona's never been particularly egalitarian. If the question had been posed to her at the time whether she was Leader or Queen, I'm sure she would have said Leader. But I've no doubt, that she acted like a tyrant. I also think the others allowed her to act that way, because the situation was quite desperate, and she was clearly the toughest warrior they had.
