This was fortunate, as their benefactor David Xanatos intended to use them for his own Machiavellian schemes. For the most part however, the period of adjustment was relatively smooth, for the younger trio in particular who delighted in the vast varieties of goods and activities available.ĭespite being grateful for their release from their slumber, the new Manhattan Clan was reluctant to put their trust in another human. After the initial shock passed, the clan would eventually attempt to fit in to their new environment with the five unnamed gargoyles (apart from Goliath), taking names from New York boroughs and landmarks to allow the people of this world to better relate to them. This liberated the gargoyles from their stone sleep, only to be stunned to find themselves 1000 years in the future in a place far away from their ancestral homeland.
