Captain of the Guard
The Captain of the Guard was the commander of the guards of Castle Wyvern after 984. He was a brave and honorable warrior, and an ally of Wyvern's gargoyle clan. Because of his friendship with them, his men often mockingly referred to him with names like "Captain of the Gargoyles."
To gain revenge on his prejudiced fellow-humans for their mistreatment of the gargoyles, he made a pact with (separately) Demona and Hakon the Viking; the raider would sack the castle during the day, while Demona would lead most of the gargoyles to leave the previous night in order to "find" Hakon's men. However, the plan backfired when Goliath took only himself and Hudson to search, and Demona was unable to get the other gargoyles to leave in time.
The Captain tried to protect the sleeping gargoyles from Hakon; however, the Viking leader, unwilling to take any risks, destroyed all the Wyvern clan save an unseen seven. The Captain was horrified by this, yet still remained with the Vikings. Unfortunately for him, six survivors of the Wyvern clan tracked Hakon's men down, and attacked them. The Captain, along with Hakon, was faced by Goliath, at the edge of a cliff. Goliath believed that Hakon was responsible for the death of his mate, and wanted vengeance. Terrified, Hakon tried to incriminate the Captain for his crime, which enraged the Captain and led him to fight with him. Struggling, they both fell from the cliff to their deaths.
However, while their bodies were dead, their spirits remained. Their souls were bound to the earth plane by the magical power of the monolith in the Archmage's Lair below. The Captain and Hakon hated one another, but decided they hated Goliath more for causing their deaths. This, along with the Captain's guilt over what his actions had caused, held his spirit there. The two waited 1001 years for Goliath to return, absorbing mystical power from the monolith.
In 1995, Goliath returned, arriving there on the first stop of the Avalon journey with Elisa Maza, Angela, and Bronx. The Captain and Hakon used their power to create illusions to torture Goliath and lure him to the monolith proper, where their power was the greatest. There, they attacked him with animated stone statues resembling the slain members of the Wyvern clan, but they were found out when they mistakenly created a statue of Demona. The Captain and Hakon then used the power of the monolith to drain Goliath's life force to replenish their own, making him into a ghost while they became flesh and blood once more. However, the Captain had a change of heart, and attacked Hakon, disrupting the draining process. Goliath returned to normal, and the monolith was destroyed.
The Captain, finally having atoned for his crimes, was now freed of the "shackles of guilt and hatred" that had held him to the earth plane. He passed on, his spirit finally at peace.
