member Wolf. His spirit later bonded to his ax. After the ax
was destroyed by Hudson, his spirit dissolved. He was voiced by Clancy Brown.
Finella
Finella is a Scottish princess from 995. Finella was conned
into helping Constantine set a deadly trap for King Kenneth upon Constantine's
promise to marry her. Less than pleased at his betrayal and engagement to
another, Finella helped Princess Katharine and the Magus get the eggs to Avalon
and escape from Constantine, who wanted to marry Princess Katherine in order to
secure his claim to the throne and destroy the eggs. Finella did not follow
Katharine and company onto Avalon, instead choosing to guard the Grimorum
Arcanorum with help from Tom's mother Mary.[10]
In 997, while Timedancing, Brooklyn arrived to save Finella
and Mary from one of Constantine's soldiers. Together, the three of them joined
Constantine's enemies, led by King Kenneth III. The book was taken from
Finella, during the fight, by Constantine's sorceror, Brother Valmont. After it
was retrieved by Brookyln, Finella and Mary continued guarding the Grimorum,
leaving 997 with Brooklyn.
In October 1996, Finella (or a woman resembling her)
attended a Halloween party atop The Eyrie Building.

decided to explore the modern world on his own, so as not draw attention to
himself.Arriving in England, he was joined by the English gargoyle Griff, and
battled Macbeth—with the help of the Manhattan Clan—to reclaim Excalibur. After
defeating Macbeth and reclaiming Excalibur, he set off along with Griff on a
journey to find Merlin.
The Hunters/Quarrymen
Main article: Hunter (Gargoyles)
Descendants of King Duncan I, the Hunters are fighters that
have sworn under the Hunter Mask to hunt down Demona and destroy all gargoyles.
The current generation (consisting of Jason, Jon, and Robyn) come to New York
after hearing of gargoyle encounters. However, Jason and Robyn Canmore
eventually come to realize that all gargoyles are not the threat to humanity
that Demona is, and drop the Hunter cause. Their brother Jon, initially
apprehensive, develops a deep hatred for the gargoyles, drops the Hunter
persona, and changes his name to John Castaway. As Castaway, he leads an
anti-gargoyle group reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan called the Quarrymen.
Jason was recovering in the hospital while Robyn was

Bader), Jon (voiced by Scott Cleverdon), and Robyn Canmore (voiced by Sheena
Easton).

she further transforms herself into the gigantic, centipede-like "death
worm" Cromm-Cruach. For a time, Cuchulainn mistakes Bronx for the
legendary Hound of Ulster.
Nick (Natsilane)
A Native American youth of the Pacific Northwest, Nick (born
Natsilane, presumably named for or descended from the legendary hero) initially
rejects his heritage for the realities of the modern world. He later encounters
Goliath, Angela, and Bronx, and comes to accept the existence of the supernatural.
He takes up the cause of his tribe and does battle with the trickster spirit
Raven.
The Emir

until the episode Grief, the Emir was an Egyptian dignitary hired by Xanatos to
capture Anubis, Oberon's child born from another attempt at immortality.
However, the Emir planned on using Anubis to resurrect his dead son, who he
felt was unfairly taken away from him in a "pointless car accident".
After becoming one with Anubis, as the avatar of death he understood the
concept of death, and abandoned his attempts at bringing back his son. He

voiced by James Avery.
The Third Race/Oberon's Children
The Third Race, also known as Oberon's Children, were
magical, shapeshifting, and often fickle creatures and fairies from around the
world. They were not all literally descended from Oberon, but he was their
leader and he governed all of the Third Race strictly. They possessed
incredible powers, were immortal, and had a fatal weakness to iron. Regardless,
as long as they were in the real world, Oberon forbade them from interfering in
human events.
Oberon
Oberon was the lord of Avalon. He possessed godlike powers and
was the most powerful being in the whole series. Very arrogant and impudent, it
was by his edict that Avalon was abandoned and the Third Race forced to live
with humanity. Oberon later himself left Avalon to join them. He was also
responsible for The Gathering, in which the Third Race left the rest of the
world and congregated in Avalon.He was voiced by Terrence Mann.

made them immortal.Their motivation, however, was to aid The Archmage in his
revenge upon Katherine, Tom, and The Magus. All three were voiced by Kath
Soucie.
Puck
Puck was a trickster fairy. His magic was the reason why
Demona became human during the day, instead of turning to stone. It was eventually
discovered that he was Owen Burnett, having made a deal with Xanatos to serve
him faithfully. Because of this deal and his affinity for humans, he was
banished from Avalon and had his powers erased by Oberon. Since the Gathering,
Puck could only use his powers when he was teaching or protecting Alexander
Xanatos. He was voiced by Brent Spiner.
Minor Children of Oberon
The rest of the Children of Oberon were fairies, gods, and
other various creatures from cultures and mythologies worldwide that lived in
Avalon until they were all expelled by Oberon. They were forcibly called back
to Avalon by him one thousand years later in an event known as The Gathering.

Raven is a trickster spirit who poses as a gargoyle to toy
with Goliath and his allies.
Other characters
The Lost Race
The Lost Race was a sentient race of Earthlings whose
evolution predated the Three Races and has since become extinct, although Greg
Weisman has yet to reveal when or how this occurred. In fact, he writes,
"it's hard to give a category to something that currently I have no
intention of discussing. But 'Lost Race' seems as good a moniker as any—as a
place-holder."
History
What is known is that the Lost Race, the gargoyles, the
humans, and finally Oberon's Children appeared on Earth in that order. The Lost
Race is in fact from Earth, and Greg denies their having any contact with
extraterrestrials.Although they eventually became extinct, the Lost Race was
still around when Oberon's Children first evolved, as they were aware of the
Children's existence.
Brooklyn encountered this race on his time-travels to the
past during his Timedancer adventures. Greg confirmed that the Lost Race has
left behind relics and artifacts from their civilization. It is speculated by
fans that these may include the ruins in the Archmage's Cave, notably the
Megalith Dance, although Greg refuses to confirm or deny the possibility.
The Steel Clan
The Steel Clan were a series of robots built by Xanatos, modeled
from the likeness of the gargoyles—specifically, Goliath. Originally meant to
replace the gargoyles, Xanatos used them for his own personal army. He also
wore a battle suit modeled in their likeness.An iron version of the Steel Clan
was made to fight against Oberon.Xanatos later used an Iron and Steel Clan
robot to aid Coldsteel and Coyote 5.0 in retrieving the Stone of Destiny.
The New Olympians
The New Olympians were a group of fantastical sentient
beings resembling creatures and gods from Greek Mythology. They had traveled to
the island of New Olympus after being driven there by fearful humans in
Classical Antiquity, and their descendants were able to remain hidden through
advanced cloaking technology. Several of them shared names with characters from
mythology, although they were not intended to be identified with those
characters, unlike some children of Oberon. According to Gargoyles creator Greg
Weisman, they are descended from Oberon's children, though the show makes no
mention of this, and there is also a resident gargoyle clan on the island
They were led by a winged man named Boreas (voiced by Dorian
Harewood), and their Chief of Security was a Minotaur named Taurus (voiced by
Michael Dorn). A robot named Talos—an upgraded version of the Talos first
constructed by Daedalus and also voiced by Dorian Harewood—is a high-level
advisor. A villainous shapeshifter named Proteus (voiced by Roddy McDowall)
seemed to be the island's worst criminal. Other named members of the race
included Helios (voiced by Rob Paulsen), Ekidna (voiced by Charity James), and
Kiron (voiced by Frank Welker). In the last two instances, the use of the
letter "k" in the spelling was intended by the show's creators to
differentiate the characters from their mythological namesakes.
The New Olympians appeared during the "Avalon World
Tour" story arc in the episode The New Olympians, in which Elisa Maza
arrived on the island along with her three "gargate" companions
(Goliath, his daughter Angela, and Bronx). Because of their past experiences
with the human race—Taurus at one point specifically mentions the murder of his
ancestor by Theseus—the New Olympians harbored a strong hatred against Elisa
and humans in general. This inverts the show's usual premise, in which many
humans are prejudiced against creatures such as gargoyles. After an encounter
with Proteus, Elisa managed to convince some New Olympians—particularly
Taurus—that not all humans are evil.
A spinoff show, itself entitled The New Olympians, was
planned; the Gargoyles episode featuring the characters was a "backdoor
pilot". A series pitch was produced, revealing that the new series'
storyline would have revolved around the New Olympians revealing themselves to
humanity in front of the United Nations. The pitch, which is shown at Gathering
conventions, introduced several new characters and hinted at a Romeo and
Juliet-style romance between Sphinx (a New Olympian female) and Terry Chung (a
human male). Although the series was never picked up, Greg Weisman has said
that elements would have been included in the main Gargoyles series had it
continued Terry Chung appears as a trick or treater in the Gargoyles comic
issue number four, which places the beginning of New Olympians at least a
decade after the 2006 issues.He appears with during New Year's Eve of 1996 with
his first cousin Tri Chung.
Proteus escapes to New York to exact his revenge. Taurus
leaves New Olympus to pursue him. This is not considered canon by Weisman.
Nokkar
Nokar was a sentinel and member of the N'Kai (interstellar
aliens who oppose the Space-Spawn empire), Nokkar waited on Easter Island to
protect the Earth. While there, he was revered as a god by the natives, and the
Easter Island Statues were modeled after him. He once captured Goliath and
Angela, believing them to be Space-Spawn in disguise. He was voiced by Avery
Brooks.
Tazmanian Tiger
Tazmanian Tiger was a supervillain who robbed a bank in
Sydney. His actions caught the attention of Dingo and Matrix (both of whom were
Australia's crimefighters). He wore a skin tight costume and mask. His gloves
had a set of razor sharp claws that were able to damage Matrix. He was assisted
by two Thylacines named Benjamin and Natasha.
Organizations & Groups
The Illuminati
In the Gargoyles universe, The Illuminati were a secret
society started by Sir Percival, the Fisher King, that controlled and manipulated
a large portion of the world, including politics and organized crime. Xanatos
was a member of the Illuminati, which aided him in making his fortune (through
a predestination paradox—Xanatos had instructed himself to travel through
time). Bluestone was inducted into the society after gangster Mace Malone's
failed attempt to capture Goliath. Matt's former partner in the FBI, Martin
Hacker, was also a member of the Illuminati. Thailog joined as a new member at
some unspecified time, and was the first gargoyle known to be part of the
Society. The Society was last seen headed by Peredur fab Ragnal.
Each member was of a certain numerical rank. When two
members of the society encountered each other in private, they would share
their rank.
Matt Bluestone
Matt Bluestone was a former FBI agent who was assigned to be
Elisa's partner after the shooting incident. Elisa's chief thought it was too
dangerous for Elisa to be working on her own, and assigned Bluestone as her
partner so that she would have someone covering her—despite Elisa's adamant
protests that she did not need a partner. Bluestone is a big believer in
conspiracy theories, especially the Illuminati. He was given the option to join
the Illuminati by his former partner. He was one of the few humans who were
friends with the Manhattan Clan. He was voiced by Thomas F. Wilson.
Martin Hacker
Martin Hacker was Matt Bluestone's former partner in the FBI
and an Illuminati operative, Hacker's job was to intentionally mislead Matt
away from the Illuminati. When this failed, it was Martin who conferred
membership onto Matt on the behalf of the Illuminati.
After Manhattan discovers the existence of gargoyles, Hacker
checks in on Matt Bluestone and John Castaway, as well as giving Xanatos an
invitation to the White House from the Illuminati. While meeting all three of
them, he claims a different objective from The Illuminati. With Matt Bluestone,
he claims that the Illuminati agree that people aren't ready to encounter
gargoyles. With Xanatos, he says the Illuminati feel it is time for humans and
gargoyles to meet. As for John Castaway, he claimed that the Illuminati agree
that the gargoyles should be destroyed. He was voiced by Michael Bell.
Norman Ambassador
Norman Ambassador escorted Princess Elena to Castle Wyvern
in 975. Both were attacked by the Archmage's bandits and rescued by Xanatos
(who followed Demona into the past). Out of gratitude, and due to being a
fellow Illuminatus, he allowed Xanatos and his family to join them at Wyvern.
He also took a couple of envelopes with him at Xanatos' request—one containing
a rare coin to give to a younger David Xanatos in 1975; the other containing
details on how the coin was obtained, thus inspiring himself to travel back in
time.
Mace Malone
Mace Malone was a leading gangster in the 1920s who was
recruited into the Illuminati because of his underworld dealings. In 1924, the
crime syndicates became aware of their vulnerability to the Illuminati,
resulting in Mace having to disappear. He had a long life due to rejuvenation
drugs. His habit of visiting Flo Dane alerted Matt Bluestone to his presence,
who saw a photo with Mace wearing a society emblem and received confirmation of
his suspicions from Mace's stepson Jack. As a result, Matt was offered
membership if he brought a gargoyle to the abandoned Hotel Cabal, an Illuminati
base. Though Matt brought Goliath, he secretly filled Goliath in on Mace's plan
and left a hotel key for Goliath to escape. Mace, however, lost his key in the
confusion. Eventually, he died of dehydration.
Mr. Duval
Mr. Duval is first mentioned in the Gargoyle: The Goliath
Chronicles episode "The Journey" (adapted into the first two issues
of the SLG comic series). Duval tried to call Xanatos, but Xanatos shows no
interest in receiving the call. Hacker tells Xanatos that the call was an
invitation to the White House for an Illuminati assignment.
For unspecified reasons, Duval's left eye and arm are
replaced with cybernetic attachments, and he has an unexplained disdain for
Blanchefleur. He is also very important to Peredur.
While Duval doesn't appear onscreen, Greg Weisman envisioned
the voice of the character to be Eddie Marsan.
Shari
Shari is a teenage girl introduced in the Gargoyles (SLG
comic) comics series. She appeared as a new resident of The Labyrinth, and was
introduced to the Mutates and Clones. After Thailog came to reclaim the clones,
Shari left to warn Goliath, but was lying. Her name was revealed as she arrived
at Nightstone Unlimited, applying to be Thailog's executive assistant. Before
Thailog attacked her, however, he spotted an Illuminati pendant around her neck
and welcomed her as a member of the Illuminati—which he had recently joined as
a lower-echelon member.
Thailog soon demanded a story from Shari, and so she told
him of a lost tale from The Avalon World Tour. How she learned of that
adventure was not specified.
Shari went on to relate the legend of the Stone of Destiny
to Thailog. She appeared to be more than she seemed.
Quincy Hemings
Quincy Hemings made his first appearance in the SLG comic.
He is a Chief Steward at the White House. Xanatos meets him at the White House,
and mistakes him for Duval due to their shared rank number. Hemings mentioned
being on staff since the administration of Theodore Roosevelt, and being in his
current position since the Lyndon B. Johnson administration. He gave Xanatos an
assignment from The Illuminati. The assignment required Xanatos to retrieve the
Stone Of Destiny.
While Hemings doesn't appear onscreen, Greg Weisman
envisioned the voice of the character to be Morgan Freeman.
Falstaff
Falstaff (went by the name John Oldcastle) was a father
figure to Dingo, but for reasons unknown, strangled Dingo's mother. Upon the
arrival of The Redemption Squad at his island base (which is really a ship),
Falstaff insisted that The Illuminati are the good guys, determined to save the
world, and allowed The Redemption Squad to speak to Fiona Canmore and Thailog,
so they to vouch for the Illuminati. The Redemption Squad claimed to want
membership, but Falstaff was aware of their bluff and sent his associates to
fight the Squad. After the fight, he departed, but not before sinking the ship.
Falstaff's associates
Bardolf
Breathes fire.
Pistol
Gun fighter.
Points
Swordsman.
Mistress Doll
Contortionist.
Mistress Quickly
She is the only one apprehended by The Redemption Squad.
Fiona Canmore
Fiona Canmore is a former Hunter who ran into Demona in
Paris in 1920. She stopped her plans to kill all of the humans with the aid of
Team Atlantis. As of 1996, she was retired from the hunt and was part of the
Illuminati.In the Team Atlantis episode (which, while unproduced, was scripted
and voice-recorded), she was voiced by Sheena Easton.
Blanchefleur
Blanchefleur is introduced in the trade paperback edition of
the comic, as the story introducing her wasn't published as a single issue. She
met Xanatos in a warehouse after he apparently stole the Stone of Destiny. She
discovered that Arthur Pendragon awakened after eavesdropping on a message that
the Stone conveyed to Peredur. Like Duval, Blanchefleur was also important to
Peredur.
Peredur fab Ragnal
Peredur fab Ragnal is introduced in the trade paperback for
the comic, as the story introducing him wasn't published as a single issue. He
was the leader of The Illuminati, and, through Quincy Hemmings, ordered Xanatos
to steal The Stone of Destiny while it was being returned to Scotland. To his
disappointment, there were 3 stones which the Spirit of Destiny inhabited, but
from it he learned that Arthur had reawakened. Since Arthur wasn't supposed to
awaken for another 200 years, Peredur decides to hold a meeting of the
higher-echelon members, since this development could affect their (unspecified)
plans.
While Ragnal doesn't appear onscreen, Greg Weisman
envisioned the voice of the character to be Jude Law.

Xanatos Enterprises
Xanatos Enterprises was one of the world's largest
corporation owned by David Xanatos; Owen Burnett also wielded major control and
influence, although he was not given a title. The company was seemingly at the
forefront of advanced technology such as genetics, robotics, and weaponry.
Xanatos Enterprises also included Gen-U-Tech, Pack Media Studios, and the
Scarab Robotics corporation, all of which Xanatos used against the gargoyles
and to further his goals one way or another.
David Xanatos
Main article: David Xanatos
David Xanatos is a billionaire, nemesis, and later ally of
the gargoyles, Xanatos' name is reminiscent of David—the Biblical king who
defeated Goliath—and Thanatos from Greek mythology. He broke the spell that
imprisoned the gargoyles, and frequently attempted to manipulate or control
them. He was voiced by Jonathan Frakes.
Owen Burnett
Owen Burnett was Xanatos' Aide who is later revealed to be
the immortal trickster Puck. Puck took on an appearance similar to that of
Preston Vogel, Halcyon Renard's personal aid. The Owen persona eventually got
his hand turned to stone (the result of a spell gone wrong) and lost his magic
powers except when he was training or protecting Alexander Xanatos (per
Oberon's decree).He was voiced by Jeff Bennett.
Anton Sevarius
Anton Sevarius was a free agent geneticist who mostly worked
for the villains of the series, from David Xanatos to Demona. Known for his
hammy play on the "mad scientist" stereotype, Sevarius was brilliant,
but also devious and immoral. His experiments led to the creation of the
Mutates[2] and Goliath's evil clone Thailog (whom he also worked for at one
point), as well as Thailog's gargoyle clones. He also helped Demona create a
virus capable of destroying all life on Earth (how he hoped to survive her plan
is unknown). He was voiced by Tim Curry.
Cyberbiotics Corp
Cyberbiotics Corp was a rival in all ways to Xanatos
Enterprises, led by Halcyon Renard and Preston Vogel. Xanatos attempted several
times to bankrupt Cyberbiotics, even using Renard's estranged daughter Fox to
do so. Cyberbiotics was based from a massive airship (of which it manufactured
smaller models). One of the airships was inadvertently destroyed by the
Manhattan Clan.
Halcyon Renard
Halcyon Renard was an elderly businessman who is CEO of
Cyberbiotics, father of Fox, ex-husband to Anastasia, and rival to David
Xanatos. After confronting Goliath about his role in destroying his first
airship, he formed a friendship with the gargoyle after the pair saved the
second airship. His name, renard, is the French word for fox. Like Xanatos, he
briefly flirted with immortality by transferring his consciousness into a
golem, until Goliath managed to change his mind. Unlike Xanatos, he was more
conscientious of his actions, adhering strongly to ideals of personal
integrity; he was far less Machiavellian and malevolent than Xanatos. He was
voiced by Robert Culp.
Preston Vogel
Preston Vogel was Renard's aide who was considered by Puck
to be the most "wooden man on the earth." Puck modeled his mortal form
after Vogel. Unlike Owen Burnett, Vogel was not as loyal to his boss, and had
fewer scruples when it came to the means he used to get things done, such as
hiring members of The Pack, Jackal, and Hyena; levelling a rainforest and
killing the Guatemala Clan's gargoyles; or betraying Renard. Voiced by Peter
Scolari.
Gargoyles Task Force
The Gargoyles Task Force was formed during Part 3 of
Hunter's Moon to find and counter or capture the gargoyles. They followed the
gargoyles to St. Damien's Cathedral. Due to Matt's surreptitious stalling, in
hopes the clan could escape, they were unable to apprehend the clan. Issue
three of the comic introduced the Task Force.
Members
Agent Martin Hacker (F.B.I. Liaison)
Assistant District Attorney Margot Yale
Detective Matt Bluestone
Detective Elisa Maza
Detective Cedric Harris (introduced in issue three)
Detective Tri Chung (introduced in issue three; first cousin
of Terry Chung)
Officer Morgan Morgan
Officer Phil Travanti
Officer Morgan Morgan
Morgan Morgan was a New York Police Department beat officer
in Elisa's precinct, and Elisa's friend. During Halloween of 1996, he asked
Elisa out to the Halloween party atop The Eyrie Building. Though she refused at
first, she accepted after temporarily breaking up with Goliath (due to wanting
a normal life). She ended up choosing Goliath, however. Morgan, knowing of her
relationship with Goliath, suspected he was merely a rebound, but held no ill
feelings towards Elisa. Voiced by Keith David.
Officer Phil Travanti
Phil Travanti was Morgan's partner first appeared in the
episode Temptation, and was named in issue three of the comic.
The Redemption Squad
The Redemption Squad was formed by a man known as The
Director (who was voiced by William Devane in the animatic reel for the
spinoff) to deal with crime and make up for their past sins. The group's first
mission was to stop The Illuminati Society. Aside from apprehending Mistress
Quickly, their mission was a failure.
Robyn Canmore/The Hunter
While aiding her siblings in ridding Manhattan of gargoyles,
Robyn Canmore took up the alias Robyn Correy and was employed by
Demona/Dominique Destine for Nightstone Unlimited. She deduced Demona's human
identity, and shot The Clocktower hoping to kill Goliath and Clan. Though she
saw the light after Jason's atonement, Robyn was maintaining her identity as
The Hunter while serving The Director. The nature of her recruitment has yet to
be revealed. She was voiced by Sheena Easton.
Dingo
Dingo (real name Harry Monmouth) was a former member of The
Pack, Dingo remained with the team after Fox's departure but —unlike Wolf,
Jackal, and Hyena— refused to undergo physical enhancements, instead adopting a
battle suit. He grew increasingly disturbed by his teammates' transformation after
their supposed "upgrade," feeling that they had abandoned their
humanity and become "a freak show". He eventually left the team in
disgust, returning to his native Australia and hoping to atone for his
misdeeds. He later linked with an advanced artificial-intelligence program to
become a crimefighter.
He reluctantly joined The Squad, since it was the only way
he could be cleared of criminal charges in the United States. He tended to
bicker with Hunter. He prevented an angered Yama from killing Fang. Voiced by
Jim Cummings.
The Matrix
The Matrix was a nanomachine program created by Fox and her
mother Anastasia Reynard as part of a world domination bid by Xanatos. However,
the machines became sentient and threatened to overrun the planet (a possible
allusion to the so-called Grey Goo scenario in speculative science fiction).
With the help of a local shaman, Goliath and Dingo convinced the nanomachines
to form a humanoid shape that merged with Dingo's armor suit. Calling itself
"The Matrix", the merged entity pledged to protect and defend
Australia.He was coerced into joining The Squad as an alternative to
deactivation; he chose to join as doing so would help to maintain law and
order. Voiced by Jim Cummings
Series creator Greg Weisman had major plans for The Matrix;
it was to have grown strong enough to power the planet.
Yama
Former member of the Ishimura Clan, Yama briefly aided the
businessman Taro in making the existence of his clan public (albeit for
peaceful intentions). Though he fought against Taro after learning his true
motive, Yama was banished from the clan to restore his honor. Sora wanted to go
with him, but was turned down, as Yama felt that she would also share in his
shame. He was attacked shortly thereafter by Dingo, Matrix, and Robyn. After the
fight, Robyn approached Yama to recruit him into The Redemption Squad. She
stated that he would have a chance for atonement, and that refusing to join
would expose his clan to the world. He joined begrudgingly (as he was not
thrilled about working with someone who hunted gargoyles).
Fang/Fred Sykes
Fang/Fred Sykes (his name revealed in Gargoyles: Bad Guys
#2) was a brazen mutate resembling a puma hybrid, the only one of the group
that approved of his changed body from the start. He tried to overthrow Talon
and rule the Labyrinth. Fang eventually teamed up with Demona and Thailog, only
to be apprehended again. He was later visited by Sevarius, who infiltrated the
labyrinth to obtain some test subjects. Fang joined in to help turn a portion
of Manhattan into mutates, but was thwarted by The Redemption Squad. He was
nearly executed by Yama for making a joke at the expense of one of the test
subjects, who had chosen to commit suicide. Just as Hunter finished debriefing
The Director, she was told that they were to recruit Fang (for unspecified
reasons ).He was voiced by James Belushi.
