Burbank
Burbank is the clone of Hudson.
History
The plan to create Burbank and the other Clones was orchestrated by Thailog. Demona supported the idea and together they used Doctor Sevarius's skills and the resources of Nightstone Unlimited to implement the plan.
On July 17th, 1996 while Hudson was guarding Demona in her cell in the Labyrinth, Demona released a robotic mosquito that obtained DNA samples from Hudson and then flew back to Nightstone Unlimited Headquarters. There, Sevarius retrieved the sample and used it to begin the process of creating Burbank. The cloning process was very similiar to Thailog's creation. Sevarius acelerated Burbank's aging until he was at the equivalent maturity of a twenty-something human (or a forty-something gargoyle) and Thailog conducted a subliminal education program instructing Burbank with only very basic speech abilities and one overriding command: "Obey Thailog". By October, Burbank was released from his cloning tube and soon after was revealed to the Manhattan Clan at Coney Island. With the other Clones he fought against the Clan but was ultimately defeated. With Thailog presumed dead, Burbank and the other Clones seemed lost, but fortunatly Talon, who was also present for the battle, offered to take them back to the Labyrinth and have them join his "clan". More than that, he offered to teach them verbs and to think for themselves. The Clones then began to live at the Labyrinth ("The Reckoning").
Less than a month later, on Halloween 1996, Thailog arrived at the Labyrinth to "reclaim [his] property". Though Talon and Maggie had made some efforts to teach the Clones to have free will, they quickly adjusted to the notion that Thailog was alive and, without signs of reservation, followed his orders and left the Labyrinth with him ("Masque"). From there, Burbank and the others accompanied Thailog to the Eyrie Building where a battle with the Manhattan Clan soon erupted. Burbank followed Thailog's orders and spent most of the battle fighting with Broadway, but in the end, he chose to go with Delilah, Malibu and Hollywood back to the Labyrinth remarking, "Labyrinth good." ("Bash").
Tidbits
Burbank was named by Demona after a city in Los Angeles to make fun of the, in her opinion, ridiculous name of Hudson.
Production Background
Voice Actor: Ed Asner
Characteristics
Burbank looks much like Hudson, but the artificial aging has changed his coloration. He has yellow skin, blackish wings, black hair, red eyes, black teeth, and a white mouth. Burbank is the only one of the younger clones to wear full armor and pants, and the only clone to use a weapon (a mace). Why exactly he dresses this way is unknown, but possibly Thailog wanted him to look as much like Hudson as possible, perhaps to make him more disconcerting. This could also be why Burbank sports a beard, though he is just as young as the other Clones.
