Phoenix (entity)
The Phoenix is a time-traveling magical entity which takes the form of a gigantic fiery bird.
History
When the Phoenix Gate appeared in front of Brooklyn in 1997, the gargoyle touched the Gate, which began to dissolve. The phoenix exploded free and swallowed Brooklyn, transporting him to Scotland in the year 997.
After the Battle of Rathveramoen, the phoenix appeared once again to whisk Brooklyn, Mary, and Finella through time. For the next forty years, the phoenix carried Brooklyn through time, before finally returning him back to Manhattan forty seconds after his departure, along with Katana, Nashville, Fu-Dog, and their egg.
Characteristics
The phoenix appears as a gigantic bird of flame. Apparently it lived inside the Phoenix Gate. The origins of this creature as still unknown.
Real-world Background
The Phoenix was a mythical bird, said to live in a remote part of Arabia. According to legend, every five hundred years (or 1461 years, depending on which version of the story you read) the Phoenix would build a nest out of rare spices, set it on fire, and perish in the blaze, after which a new Phoenix would arise from the ashes of the old one.
