[edit] History
In 994, Castle Wyvern sheltered some peasant refugees being chased by Hakon and his Vikings. When a few gargoyles were playing with Bronx, a small fight broke out between the young gargoyles and the peasants. Goliath sent the gargoyles and the beast down to the rookery as a punishment. Fortunately for the group, this punishment proved to save their lives. During the day, the Vikings sacked the castle and smashed all the sleeping gargoyles. Bronx, along with the other surviving members of the clan, went to avenge their slain clan-mates and was cursed to sleep until “the castle rose above the clouds”. [1]
One thousand years later, David Xanatos purchased Castle Wyvern, and topped his skyscraper with the castle, thus breaking the spell. Like his fellow clan-mates, Bronx was named after a New York place-name: the Bronx.[2]
Bronx accompanied Goliath and Elisa to Avalon, and from there, accompanied the two and Angela during the “Avalon World Tour”.[3] When the Avalon Travelers stopped in Ireland, Bronx encountered Rory Dugan, and helped lead him to his true destiny as the reincarnated Cu Chulainn.[4] While visiting Guatemala, Bronx briefly borrowed Obsidiana's magical pendant, allowing him to remain flesh during the day.[5] He was alongside Goliath and Angela when they were captured by Nokkar.[6]
Bronx, alongside the remaining members of the Manhattan clan, was nearly killed by the Hunters' missile strike on the Clock tower, but he narrowly escaped, carried off by his clan-mates.[7] When David Xanatos offered the clan use of Castle Wyvern, Bronx took the opportunity to bond with Alexander Fox Xanatos.[8]
While the Manhattan clan celebrated Halloween, Hudson took Bronx to visit Jeffrey Robbins, where Bronx and Gilly slept comfortably in front of the fire.[9] The two returned to the castle to discover Thailog had crashed the Xanatos Halloween Masque. Bronx was injured by Thailog, who fought the clan to secretly obtain DNA samples.[10]
When Brooklyn returned from his journey through the time stream, Bronx was curious about the new gargoyle beast, Fu-Dog. The two sniffed each other before being called off to battle the Pack in Times Square.[11]
[edit] Characteristics
Bronx is often found sleeping by Hudson's recliner, but occasionally in other places - such as on Lexington's magazines while Lexington is trying to read them. Bronx is a fierce and formidable fighter when there is an emergency, a loyal friend, and a very good judge of character. Like all other male gargoyle beasts, Bronx’ eyes glow white when he is enraged, and he possesses formidable strength. As with all gargoyle beasts, Bronx lacks wings, but still turns to stone during the day.
