| |
| − | '''Iago was hatched in [[938]]''', alongside the rest of his [[rookery]] generation, which included [[Goliath]], [[Demona]], [[Othello]], [[Desdemona]], '''and [[Hyppolyta]]'''. Unlike most gargoyles, Iago was not a particularly noble or honorable individual, being corrupt and scheming. '''He entered into an alliance with the [[Archmage]] after [[Castle Wyvern]] was founded in [[971]], combining his cunning with the Archmage’s [[magic]], although the details of their plots are as yet unknown.'''

| − | Iago also lusted after Desdemona, and decided to gain her for himself '''in [[993]]''' by duping her mate Othello into thinking that Desdemona and Goliath were lovers, then claim her in the confusion that followed. However, his scheme eventually failed, leaving him with a strong grudge against Goliath afterwards. '''He was temporarily banished from Castle Wyvern for his crime, but had returned by 994. Nothing is known about his year as a [[rogue gargoyle]].'''

| − | Like most of the other Wyvern gargoyles, Iago was killed by [[Hakon]] and his [[Vikings]] in [[994]] during the [[Wyvern Massacre]]. When Demona and [[Xanatos, David|Xanatos]] created [[Coldstone]] in February of [[1995]], they used pieces of Iago and Desdemona’s stone remains, as well as Othello’s own fragments, to assemble his body, resulting in the revival of Iago and Desdemona’s souls as well as Othello’s. Iago nevertheless remained dormant until after Coldstone was damaged by the virus at the [[Golden Cup Building]] and all three souls began vieing for control of Coldstone's body. When Iago became the dominant soul in possession of Coldstone’s body, he tried to kill Goliath and the [[Manhattan Clan]], as well as set Othello and Goliath against each other once more as he had done a thousand years before. His plans were foiled, however, and he was temporarily defeated by the virus.

| − | Iago was re-awakened by Demona and [[Macbeth]] when they kidnapped Coldstone from the [[clock tower]], and helped them against the gargoyles and [[Maza, Elisa|Elisa]] until Othello and Desdemona’s souls defeated him. He nevertheless remained a threat, always attempting to recover control of Coldstone’s body, and for this reason Coldstone went into exile until the battle within could be decided. '''It seems very likely that when Goliath, [[Angela]], Elisa and [[Bronx]] encountered Coldstone in Tibet during the [[Avalon World Tour]], [[Iago]] played a part in the adventure, though nothing is known about this encounter.''' Iago remained inside Coldstone until Xanatos recaptured the cybernetic gargoyle in the [[Himalayas]]. [[Puck]] and [[Xanatos, Alexander Fox|Alex]] then temporarily transferred the souls of Othello, Desdemona, and Iago to the bodies of [[Broadway]], [[Angela]], and [[Brooklyn]], during which time Iago, in Brooklyn’s body, eagerly plotted to dispose of Broadway/Othello and seize Desdemona in Angela’s body for himself. But he soon became disappointed with Brooklyn’s fighting skills, and after seeing the robotic body [[Coldsteel]] that Xanatos and [[Burnett, Owen|Owen]] had made for him, became sufficiently impressed with it to allow Puck and Alex to transfer his soul to it. The rest of Iago’s story can be found in the entry on Coldsteel.

| − | {Iago was never actually so called in the series, but merely given that name in the ending credits to "Legion" and "High Noon". His name is, of course, taken from the Iago in [[Shakespeare, William|Shakespeare]]’s play "Othello", who similarly schemes against Othello and does all that he can to convince him that Desdemona is untrue to him, and who has been ranked as one of Shakespeare’s greatest villains. The Iago/Coldsteel of "Gargoyles" might well consider his links to the Iago of Shakespeare a great compliment.}
