"Verity"
"Verity" was a female gargoyle of the Wyvern Clan. She had no name, but "Verity" is used to identify her.
History
"Verity" hatched in 878 in the rookery below Wyvern Hill. Little is known about her early life, but we do know that by 927 she and Mentor had become mates and conceived their first egg. In all, "Verity" and Mentor would be rookery parents to the hatchlings of the 938, 958, and 978 generations. She was very wise and often provided counsel to her mate.
Unfortunately, there was no chance for "Verity" to do much mothering of the 978 generation as she died in 971 while they were unhatched eggs. The cause of her death is unknown, though it should be noted that 971 was also the year the Wyvern Clan formed an alliance with Prince Malcolm. [1]
Characteristics
Greg Weisman has described "Verity" as "a fierce warrior and a lovely individual." [2] She is tall and hairless. She has four small horns running from the front to the back of her head, fan-like ears, and a small beak. Her coloring is aquamarine.
Though never known to anyone, "Verity" was in fact the biological mother to "Hyppolyta", Broadway, and "True". [3][4][5]
Appearances
Production Background
As was custom for the Wyvern Clan in the 10th century, "Verity" didn't have a true name. "Verity" was used only in the scripts for the comics to differentiate this character from other gargoyles.
On Ask Greg, Greg Weisman indicated since (at least) 2001 that "Verity" would have a significant role in the prequel series. [6][7]
