Trio
Trio is the group name for Brooklyn, Lexington, and Broadway.
History
The trio are three rookery brothers born to the Wyvern Clan in 958. [1] According to Hudson, they were close friends and brothers practically from the moment they hatched and did practically everything together throughout their youth. This camaraderie and bond lasted into the 1990s after their awakening and was perhaps even exaggerated by their status as the few known surviving gargoyles.
The Trio as a group began to fracture after their return to the castle in 1996. Broadway began to spend more time with his future mate Angela. Lexington spent several months in London (meeting Staghart and spending more time fostering that friendship) and also spent more time with Alex. And Brooklyn left and returned from his TimeDancer adventures leaving him forty years older than Broadway and Lexington, and with a new family to boot. They had come to take each other for granted. This hastened the drift away from their being the gargoyle equivalent of the Three Musketeers (something that Elisa, Hudson and Goliath all noticed). However, Hudson feels that when a crisis strikes, they will be drawn back together just as they were before.[2] And despite the changes that occur, the three brothers will continue to be friends throughout their lives. [3]
Behind The Scenes
The three gargoyles are occasionally referred to by 'The Trio' in the course of the series ("The Cage", "Future Tense", "Tale Old As Time"), but the term is used more often by staff and fans.
In the trading card series, the Trio (under that name) have their own character card, as well as each gargoyle having his own independent character card.
To avoid comparisons to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Greg Weisman had a "no pizza rule" for the Trio in the first season. [4]
