Contents
History
In 1995, Jackal and Hyena made an unsuccessful effort to assassinate Xanatos here, which was foiled by the gargoyles. ("Her Brother's Keeper")
Coincidentally, there is presently a gargoyle clan living in the original Xanadu in China. [1]
Real World Background
The name "Xanadu" was most likely inspired from a combination of two sources: the site of Kublai Khan's "stately pleasure-dome" in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan", and Charles Foster Kane's palatial residence in the movie Citizen Kane – no doubt, assisted also by the strong similarity to Xanatos's own name.
