Peter Maza

Peter Maza is Elisa's father and Diane Maza's husband.

History

Peter Maza is of Native American descent, primarily from the Hopi tribe in Arizona. He was dissatisfied with life in Arizona, however, and in 1960, against his father Carlos's wishes, left for New York. There he entered the NYPD (which he is a desk sergeant in by now), met and married Diane not long afterwards, and is now the father of Elisa, Derek, and Beth Maza.

Peter Maza learned about the gargoyles from Diane following her encounter with them in Nigeria, but first met Goliath, Angela, and Bronx when they arrived at Flagstaff, Arizona, with Elisa on the Avalon World Tour. Peter had come back to Flagstaff to help Beth protest Xanatos' plans to destroy the Coyote Carving. There he helped them free Coyote the Trickster from Xanatos' captivity, and finally made peace, of a sort, with Carlos (if in a posthumous sense).

Peter is or was in some way connected to Coyote the Trickster, due to having performed the Dance of the Coyote as a boy. Coyote seems to have drawn him back to Arizona for this purpose. It is as yet unknown if this connection still holds after their recent encounter.
