Jeffrey MacClain Robbins - A blind writer, and close friend to Hudson.
History
Robbins was blinded while serving in Vietnam, and after leaving the Army took up writing novels, such as Gilgamesh the King. After a while, however, he found himself temporarily out of inspiration.
He met and befriended Hudson during the Scrolls of Merlin adventure, unaware of his true nature thanks to his blindness. Robbins helped him locate Macbeth, and also encouraged him to learn how to read upon discovering Hudson’s illiteracy, explaining to him that it is no shame to be illiterate, but only to remain so. After the Scrolls of Merlin were recovered, Jeffrey became inspired enough by the event to compose a new novel, The Sword and the Staff, about Merlin.
Jeffrey Robbins later on met Hudson and the other gargoyles again, during Demona’s "stone by night" curse upon New York, and helped them discover that she was behind it. (He himself escaped her spell because of his blindness).
When the media reported that gargoyles existed in the fall of 1996, Robbins began to suspect that Hudson might be a gargoyle for a variety of reasons (Hudson's smell, the fact that he has never shook Robbins' hand, late night visits with departures before sunrise, etc.). It was not until Halloween when Bronx and Hudson joined Robbins and Gilly, Robbins' guide dog, to hand out candy to children that Robbins finally got the truth out of Hudson. The revelation was uneventful and it is clear that Robbins will continue to be a close friend to Hudson. ("Masque", "Bash")
