Once the enemies of Humans, Gargoyles were considered Demons by those they first met. Nothing could have been farther from the truth, as the Gargoyles were the keepers of the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. During the time historians consider the Age of Enlightenment, the Avatar in his quest for the Codex caused the Isle of the Avatar to rise from the ocean depths. This act was foretold by a Gargoyle seer as the beginning of the end for the Gargoyle race. The second act was in the rescue of Lord British from his imprisonment by the Shadowlords in the depths. The resulting earthquakes were the next omen. The third omen foretold the "False Prophet" returning to the depths with a band of warriors to destroy that which is Gargoyle. The only way to avert the doom foretold was by the sacrifice of the False Prophet. However, the only thing considered of value was the Codex itself, so the Avatar returned it to the Void, there to be viewed by all those in need, Human and Gargoyle alike.
To this day, the Gargoyles still guard over the Codex though it is unknown how many exist due to their secrecy.
Thanks goes to Caden for directing me to the information.
