He didn't do it for altruistic motives, though eventually, Xanatos and the clan of gargoyles became enemies. This action broke the curse for good, reviving the dormant gargoyles in a land and time far from their home. Billionaire David Xanatos (yes, that Xanatos) bought the ruined castle, then had it transported brick by brick from Scotland and rebuilt on top of his skyscraper in New York City. The main characters survived a purge in the year 994 thanks to a magical spell that made them permanently statues - at least, unless the castle which they were protecting were to ever ' rise above the clouds'. Once, there were many gargoyles, but interactions with humanity have led to their species becoming endangered. The main characters of the series are gargoyles, large winged humanoids (their appearance is vaguely demonic, though saying so is insulting to them) that are extremely (almost literally) nocturnal - they turn to stone, no matter what, when the sun rises. A dark, violent series with a story that follows deliberate arcs and does things very rarely seen in the average Western animated show of the time. Gargoyles (OctoFebruary 15, 1997) is a rare breed of a show, particularly for The '90s (and even more so for a Disney series- the show was originally released under their Buena Vista banner, albeit on The Disney Afternoon).
