John Castaway is the alias adopted by Jon Canmore, after he fled St. Damien’s Cathedral.

History

Now consumed with hatred for the gargoyles and seeking revenge upon them, he contacted the Illuminati, asking them for help. The Illuminati agreed for their own reasons, and helped Jon Canmore, under his new alias as John Castaway, set up the Quarrymen.

Castaway first employed Banquo and Fleance to provide him with experienced muscle, and then recruited a number of frightened New York citizens to join him in battling the gargoyles, including Vinnie. In his first attack upon the gargoyles, he cornered Goliath and Elisa at the ruins of the Clock Tower, and came close to killing them both, but was prevented from doing so by Vinnie. Castaway escaped, however, vowing to continue the hunt.

Castaway will continue to pose a threat to the gargoyles in the future. In time, Jason and Robyn will learn that he is really their brother, and Jason will attempt, presumably in vain, to turn Castaway away from his mad course. By 2198, Castaway’s descendants will presumably still be anti-gargoyle and connected to the Quarrymen, and also on poor terms with the Monmouths, descended from Dingo and Robyn Canmore, as a result.
