Gargoyles (1994–1997 TV Series)

Puck's History

Puck is one of the tricksters, a group of the Children of Oberon. He is the fae guardian of Alexander Xanatos.

Using Titania's Mirror, Demona captured Puck, binding him in chains to do her bidding. Demona initially considered having Puck removing her vulnerability to daylight before demanding he gets rid of all humans. Puck stated that such a feat was beyond his abilities and instead used Titania's mirror to find her deepest desire. As the mirror showed a real-time image of Goliath, Puck remarked that Demona still held feelings for him and stated he could easily make him fall in love with her again. But when the human, Elisa Maza, came into the picture, Demona ordered him to destroy her, which he did in a roundabout way (by turning the human Elisa Maza into a gargoyle). With Demona unaware of this fact, Puck transformed all of Manhattan's humans into gargoyles at her command. When Demona later found out his trickery, she ordered him to turn the gargoyles back to human form, which he again twisted by changing the Manhattan Clan to humans, as well as Bronx into a dog. Though Demona was displeased, Puck pointed out that Goliath was a feeble human and thus at her mercy. Puck later participated in the battle against Manhattan Clan but ultimately lost. Goliath then ordered him to restore everyone in Manhattan to their proper forms in exchange for his freedom. Subsequently taking Demona and the mirror back to her manor, where he complimented how much fun he had. Annoyed by an exasperated Demona's demands for his departure, Puck decided to fulfill her original wish, arranging it so that Demona should turn into a human every day at sunrise, and revert to her true gargoyle form at dusk.

In order to escape Oberon's impending Gathering, Puck cast an illusion on Goliath in which he returns to a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. Throughout Goliath's ordeal, Puck attempted to coerce Goliath into handing him the Phoenix Gate, so that he could bribe Oberon for his freedom. Goliath eventually realized Puck's deception when the trickster, in the form of Eliza, insisted he hand the gate over, causing Puck to be exposed. As Goliath became upset at Puck's trickery of throwing him into a nightmare, Puck suggested the future he experienced might become real but refused to say if it was true. When Goliath awoke to reality, he opened a time portal and threw the gate into the time stream, ensuring Puck could not get his hands on it.

During the Gathering, Puck failed to appear so Oberon returned to the mortal world to track him down. With Boudicca assisting him, Oberon tracked Puck to the Eyrie Building, only to get sidetracked by the presence of Titania, leading to a battle for Alexander Xanatos. At the height of the battle, Puck revealed his human alias as Owen Burnett, and with the help of the Manhattan Clan, convinced Oberon to allow Alexander and Puck to remain in the mortal realm. Puck was, however, banished from Avalon, and bound to Alexander as his fairy tutor. In condition as a tutor and having been banished from Avalon, he could only use his magic when teaching or protecting the child.

In his capacity as a tutor, Puck taught Alexander how to possess mortal bodies, and to transfer souls. For the latter, he taught Alexander, in Lexington's body, to transfer two souls inside Coldstone into Broadway and Angela and later into Coldsteel and Coldfire.
