Once a trusting and loving soul her paranoia and contempt cause her own misery time and time again. Even centuries later she cannot fathom her own faults even when the Wierd Sister made her confront them. She will never believe her actions are in the wrong. And after hundreds of years, the toll on her mind proved to be too great. Demona now sees hallucinations of Goliath as well as others that reflect her own shattered mind when under stress. She has trouble knowing what is real or not and will sometimes lash out at empty air.
History: In the 10th century, Demona was a member of the Gargoyle clan at Castle Wyvern, Goliath's mate, and second-in-command. The two mated and would eventually have a daughter, Angela, that would join the Manhattan Clan 1000 years into the future. Prior to that, she had secretly studied with the Archmage and had developed an aptitude in sorcery. Demona also possesses excellent combat skills with a variety of weapons, most notably a laser cannon. Like the rest of the clan, Demona originally had no formal name, though Goliath frequently referred to her as his "Angel of the Night".
Resentful of human prejudice toward her clan, Demona conspired with the Captain of the Guard to betray the humans inhabiting Castle Wyvern to the Vikings; Demona failed to get the gargoyles away from the castle, however, as it was her end of the bargain, and the clan was slaughtered during the daylight hours. Demona abandoned the castle, returning only to find the six survivors, including Goliath, under the stone sleep curse.
Alone for several years, Demona had an encounter with a child named Gillecomgain, scarring his face during a petty theft. Gillecomgain became the Hunter, a mercenary and assassin seeking revenge against her. Demona allied herself with a young Macbeth to kill Gillecomgain.
Later, an elderly Demona enters into a bargain with Macbeth; Macbeth entered it to protect his kingdom from his cousin Duncan I of Scotland, while Demona wanted her youth back so she can lead the last of her kind. The pact is facilitated by the Weird Sisters, with several side effects: pain felt by one is shared with the other when in close proximity, and both are immortal until one kills the other. Little did they realize that they were becoming pawns as part of a greater plot by the Weird Sisters and the evil Archmage from Castle Wyvern to take over the mystical island of Avalon. When this actually happened 1000 years into the future, they were put into a trance by the sisters and used as extra reinforcements as part of their Avalon takeover bid. When the Archmage and the Sisters were defeated, they were sent back to Earth with no recollection of this event.
Macbeth himself soon came to admire Demona's combat prowess and eventually became heavily dependent on Demona's clan for support in the war with Duncan's forces. In the final battle with Duncan, Demona's devastating attacks so impress Macbeth, he exclaimed: "You fight like a demon!" After becoming king, Macbeth calls her "Demona" (She-Demon) for the first time, a name she finds very pleasing, and simultaneously declares her as his primary adviser. The two became fast friends. Eventually, Demona's trust in Macbeth evaporates after overhearing Macbeth considering betraying her to win the support of the English. Fearing that this would come to pass, she abandons his forces to Duncan's son Canmore and the English armies. Canmore, in turn, betrays her, killing the last of her clan.
Sometime before 1994, Demona allied herself with David Xanatos, got him the Grimorum Arcanorum, and told him about the spell put upon the Gargoyles at Castle Wyvern. This led Xanatos to bring the castle to Manhattan and waking up Goliath and the rest of the clan. Despite her and Xanatos's efforts to manipulate them, the clan refused to join her vendetta and actively opposed her she later assisted Xanatos in resurrecting one of the dead Gargoyles from Wyvern, Coldstone.
During one of her attempts to murder Elisa Maza, Demona was granted a "gift" by the magical being, Puck: after requesting that he make her able to walk in daylight without turning to stone, he grants her wish, but at a price. While a gargoyle at night, during the day, Demona would become the very thing she despised: a human. The transformation is incredibly painful and it hurt Macbeth when he was in proximity as part of their binding spell.
Though initially furious at Puck's trick, she realized the positive uses of her human form as she later took up the alias of Dominique Destine. ? She has also tried to exterminate humanity on numerous occasions; first by turning New York City's human population into Gargoyles, and when failing that, she tried turning them to stone at night so that she could smash them at her leisure[17]. This curse was foiled, not only by an alliance between Goliath and Xanatos (thus ending her alliance with him), but also the unexpected intervention of first Macbeth, and then the Weird Sisters.
The Sisters took Demona and Macbeth away with them, putting them into a trance and using them as extra reinforcements as part of their plot to take over Avalon with the Archmage. When the Archmage and the Sisters were defeated, they were sent back into the outside world by the Avalon Clan with no recollection of this event.
Demona was brought to Median the same way as other refugees. But the appearance of humans here as well caused her to take up her old concerns. Now she seems to learn about this new world and its tech and magic so that she may finish what she started back on Earth. To wipe humans off the face of the planet and make it a home for her and her kind, if her kind still exists.
