In addition to the gargoyles, human characters figure prominently in the series, both as allies and enemies of the gargoyles.
Residents of Castle Wyvern 954–994 Princess Katharine Princess Katharine (voiced by
Kath Soucie) is the leader of Castle Wyvern (and, by default, the Scottish clan of gargoyles) during the 990s. Katharine was at first prejudiced against the clan, but after they saved her life, she vowed to protect the clans' unhatched eggs
The Captain of the Guard The Captain of the Guard (voiced by
Ed Gilbert) was the head of Castle Wyvern's
garrison in 994. Resentful of the lack of appreciation that he and the gargoyles received for defending the castle, he struck a deal with Demona and the Vikings to have the castle
sacked, forcing out the humans and leaving only him and the gargoyles. The plan included sabotage, such as severing bowstrings, but backfired when the Viking leader Hakon shattered most of the gargoyles during the day after the siege, prompting Goliath and the survivors (Hudson, Brooklyn, Broadway, Lexington and Bronx) to go after the Vikings for revenge. The Captain was killed along with Hakon in 994 when they fell off a cliff, Peter, a Native American of
Hopi descent, is a retired NYPD officer. He never argues with Elisa once she sets her mind on something. •
Diane Maza (voiced by
Nichelle Nichols) is Elisa's mother. •
Derek Maza (voiced by
Rocky Carroll) is Elisa's brother. Robbins helps a blind Hudson recover his eyesight after discovering Hudson is a gargoyle.
Hakon Hakon (voiced by
Clancy Brown) was the leader of the
Vikings who ransacked Castle Wyvern in 994 and destroyed most of the gargoyles in their stone sleep. He was killed, along with the Captain of the Guard, when they fell off a cliff, but their spirits remained trapped in the area as punishment for their actions. When Goliath returned to the Wyvern site a thousand years later, the Captain and Hakon, in spirit form, attempted to steal Goliath's
lifeforce to free themselves from the area. Hakon's spirit reappeared throughout the series, trying to take revenge on Goliath. Before his death, Hakon apparently fathered children who became the ancestors of Pack member Wolf. His spirit later bonded to his axe. After the axe was destroyed by Hudson, Hakon's spirit dissolved.
Finella Finella (voiced by
Sheena Easton) is a Scottish princess from 995. Finella was conned into helping Constantine set a deadly trap for King Kenneth upon Constantine's promise to marry her. Less than pleased at his betrayal and engagement to another, Finella helped Princess Katharine and the Magus get the eggs to Avalon and escape from Constantine, who wanted to marry Princess Katherine to secure his claim to the throne and destroy the eggs. Finella did not follow Katharine and company onto Avalon, instead choosing to guard the
Grimorum Arcanorum with help from Tom's mother Mary. In 997, while Timedancing, Brooklyn arrived to save Finella and Mary from one of Constantine's soldiers. Together, the three of them joined Constantine's enemies, led by King Kenneth III. The book was taken from Finella, during the fight, by Constantine's sorcerer, Brother Valmont. After it was retrieved by Brooklyn, Finella and Mary continued guarding the
Grimorum, leaving 997 with Brooklyn. In October 1996, Finella (or a woman resembling her) attended a
Halloween party atop The Eyrie Building. She is loosely based on the mythological character
Finnguala.
Arthur Pendragon Arthur Pendragon (voiced by John St. Ryan) was once the legendary and Future King of Britain. Pendragon was based on the legend of
King Arthur. He was awakened by Elisa to help fight the Archmage in Avalon. Though he had neither
Merlin nor his knights nor the famed sword
Excalibur, he fought Macbeth and won. He then decided to explore the modern world on his own, so as not draw attention to himself. Arriving in England, Arthur was joined by the English gargoyle Griff, and battled Macbeth (with the help of the Manhattan Clan) to reclaim Excalibur. After defeating Macbeth and reclaiming Excalibur, he set off along with Griff on a journey to find Merlin.
The Hunters/Quarrymen Descendants of King
Duncan I, the
Hunters are fighters from a series of
hereditary villains through time that have sworn under the Hunter Mask to hunt down Demona and destroy all gargoyles. The current generation (consisting of Jason, Jon, and Robyn) come to New York after hearing of gargoyle encounters. However, Jason and Robyn Canmore eventually come to realize that not all gargoyles are the threat to humanity that Demona is, and drop the Hunter cause. Their brother Jon, initially apprehensive, develops a deep hatred for the gargoyles, drops the Hunter persona, and changes his name to John Castaway. As Castaway, he leads an anti-gargoyle group reminiscent of the
Ku Klux Klan called the
Quarrymen. Jason was recovering in the hospital while Robyn was recruited into the Redemption Squad as the group's leader. The three modern Hunters are: •
Jason Canmore (voiced by
Diedrich Bader) – A Hunter who sought to avenge his father. He was accidentally paralyzed by Jon causing him to go through physical therapy at Manhattan General. •

Robyn Canmore took up the alias Robyn Correy and was employed by Demona/Dominique Destine for Nightstone Unlimited. She deduced Demona's human identity, and shot The Clocktower hoping to kill Goliath and Clan. Though she saw the light after Jason's atonement, Robyn was maintaining her identity as
The Hunter while serving The Director. The nature of her recruitment has yet to be revealed.
Banquo and Fleance Banquo (voiced by
Frank Welker) and
Fleance (voiced by
B.J. Ward) are two mercenaries who worked for Macbeth. They helped him retrieve the first Scrolls of Merlin and the sword Excalibur. They later left his service to work for the Quarrymen. Their first mission as Quarrymen had them, and Castaway, pursuing Goliath and Elisa to the destroyed Clocktower. Banquo and Fleance are named after the characters
Banquo and
Fleance in Shakespeare's play
The Tragedy of Macbeth.
Minor human characters •
Cuchulainn (voiced by
Scott Cleverdon) – The legendary demi-god hero of Ireland, Cuchulainn is encountered by Goliath and his allies reincarnated as an Irish teenager named Rory Dugan. He reverts to his heroic form when Rory's own girlfriend Molly reveals herself to be his old enemy, the Banshee, in disguise, especially when she further transforms herself into the gigantic, centipede-like "death worm"
Cromm-Cruach. For a time, Cuchulainn mistakes Bronx for the legendary
Hound of Ulster. •
Nick (voiced by
Gregg Rainwater) – A Native American youth of the Pacific Northwest, Nick (born
Natsilane, presumably named for or descended from the legendary hero) initially rejects his heritage for the realities of the modern world.

fisherman. •
Max Loew (voiced by
Scott Weil) – A direct descendant of
Rabbi Loew, Max reanimates the powerful
Golem to protect the people of
Prague. When the Golem is insincerely hijacked by Halcyon Renard as a replacement for his frail body, Max enlists the help of Goliath, Angela, and Elisa to recover it. Though it is never explicitly stated in the episode, Max and the people the Golem was created to protect are implicitly
Jewish. It is not stated whether Max is a citizen of the
Czech Republic or an American visiting Prague. •
The Emir (voiced by
Tony Shalhoub) – Mentioned by name in two episodes, but not seen in person until the episode
Grief, the Emir was an Egyptian dignitary hired by Xanatos to capture
Anubis, in yet another attempt to obtain immortality. However, the Emir planned on using Anubis to resurrect his dead son, who he felt was unfairly taken away from him in a "pointless car accident". Jackal hijacked the ceremony, but the Emir was able to usurp Anubis's power back. As the avatar of death, the Emir finally realized the role death plays in the world and that it cannot be meddled with, as much as humans want to. He reversed everything Jackal had done as the avatar (except for a village out in Jackal's rampage), and sacrificed himself to free Anubis. •
Travis Marshall (voiced by

Taro (voiced by
James Saito) – A Japanese businessman who threatened to expose the Ishimura Clan to the world through a "gargoyle theme park" he had constructed for the task on the outskirts of Ishimura; this "theme park" also functioned as a prison-like facility for any gargates within it for the purposes of public display, which ran against the Ishimura Clan's wishes (their Clan already had a long-established, strongly positive relationship with Ishimura's human population). As a result, Yama took on Taro and defeated him in one-on-one combat. •
Shaman (voiced by
James Avery) – An
Aborigine wise man, who became Dingo's spiritual advisor when the latter decided to wipe the slate clean regarding his past. He was aware of Dingo's armor, and of the existence of Gargoyles. The Shaman also helped Dingo and Goliath reach the
