'''Othello''' - A [[gargoyles|gargoyle]] from the [[Wyvern clan]].
 
 
 
==History==
 
'''Othello was hatched in the year [[938]], a member of the same [[rookery]] generation as [[Goliath]], [[Demona]], [[Desdemona]], and [[Iago]].''' During his original life in the late 10th century, Othello and Desdemona fell in love, and became mates. However, Iago wished to split them apart, since he lusted after Desdemona himself, and so lyingly told Othello that Desdemona and Goliath were lovers. Othello believed Iago’s lie, and fought against Goliath in anger, but Desdemona finally managed to somehow make peace between them. Othello and Desdemona returned to their mated life afterwards in peace, until they were destroyed by [[Hakon]]’s [[Vikings]], alongside most of the Wyvern clan, in 994.
 
 
 
In the winter of [[1994]]-95, however, [[Xanatos, David|Xanatos]] and Demona revived Othello through a mixture of magic and technology, in a new body composed both of animated stone fragments from the shattered bodies of himself, Desdemona, and Iago, and cybernetic parts. In his new cybernetic form, Othello now bears the name of "[[Coldstone]]"; the remainder of his adventures can be found within that entry.
 
 
 
'''Othello and Desdemona are the biological parents of [[Gabriel]], but they do not know this as yet, and probably would not care if they did, being more likely to see the entire [[Avalon clan]] as their children as per gargoyle tradition.'''
 
 
 
{The name "Othello" was not used for the pre-Wyvern Massacre version of Coldstone in the actual series; I have adopted it, however, for this character to fit the symmetry of Desdemona and Iago’s names. The name, of course, derives from the title character of [[Shakespeare, William|William Shakespeare]]’s famous tragedy, "Othello, the Moor of Venice", who similarly is married to the faithful Desdemona, but duped by the scheming Iago into believing that she is unfaithful, engaged in an adulterous affair with Cassio. In anger, Othello smothers his wife, and then, discovering how Iago had duped him and that Desdemona was innocent, commits suicide in remorse.}
