Griff
Sir Griff - A gargoyle in the London clan.
History
At the time that World War II began, he was one of the shopkeepers of "Into the Mystic", alongside Leo and Una; he and Una were courting at the time. When the Battle of Britain began, Griff believed it to be his duty to help protect London from the Germans, and would therefore participate in the aerial battle alongside the Royal Air Force against the Luftwaffe. Leo and Una, fearing that he would be killed, tried to dissuade him from it, but to no avail.
When Goliath arrived in 1940 via the Phoenix Gate, he joined Griff in the defense of London, hoping to prevent his mysterious disappearance during the Battle of Britain which he had already learned of from Leo and Una in 1995. After all of his efforts to return Griff to the "Into the Mystic" shop safely failed, he realized that he could not change history and so used the Phoenix Gate to transport both of them to 1995.
There, Griff was reunited with Leo and Una, and took up protecting London again, this time in their company.
Some time later, when King Arthur arrived in London, Griff spotted him entering Westminster Abbey and, mistaking him for a burglar, went down to investigate. There he discovered Arthur’s true identity, after which the Stone of Destiny transported them both to New York to search for Excalibur there. Griff and King Arthur joined forces with Hudson and the trio in the quest for the magical sword, battling against both Arthur’s rival Macbeth and the animated stone dragon which guarded the sword, before Arthur finally regained Excalibur. When Arthur afterwards declared his intention of setting out on a fresh quest to find Merlin, Griff volunteered to come with him; Arthur accepted his offer and dubbed him a knight. The two of them are presumably both in quest for Merlin now.
Griff will no doubt be one of the founders of the Camelot Clan in the time to come.
Griff bears a striking resemblance to a griffon; hence his name. He is a particularly adventure-loving swashbuckler, coming close to the embodiment of traditional British heroism.
