reluctant_gargoyleMoving on with the Trio, Lex is up.
Lexington, or Lex for short, another teenager. Usually found in the company of Brooklyn and Broadway. Though they're all the same age, a lot of people assume Lex is younger, in part because of his size, and in part because he's a bit more naive than the others.
Lex is the brains of the outfit, there's no denying that. Of all the Clan, he's the one that adapted the most quickly to the modern world and could probably be called the one that loves it the most. Computers, motorcycles, helicopters, he's absolutely facinated by all of it. And when Lex is facinated by something, he learns everything he can about it. He's written computer programs, hacked into top secret files, and once built a motorcyle out of spare parts. You've really got to question how a mind like that gets born into an era like the 10th century. Here, he's thrived. Back there... I'm not sure what he would have done.
As I've mentioned in a couple of places, Lex is the smallest of us, being shorter than most humans. He's also got wings than run from his wrists to his ankels and along his sides, like a flying squirrel. It's simply one of those variations in Gargoyle structure, just like how Brooklyn has a beak, or how Broadway has big fan ears. His variations are a little less common, from what I understand, but that's all.
Lex sees the whole world with a sense of wonder, but people have also used that against him. Early on, he was convinced that a group of mercanaries known as the Pack--then posing as part of a TV show, but in fact, working for Xanatos--were people who could be allies and friends to the Clan. He introduced himself to them, and they took advantage of that trust, nearly capturing and killing him and Goliath. He had, at one point, a fairly deep seated desire for vengence against them, but has since overcome that.
Interestingly enough, Lex has become quite close and protective of Alexander, the son of Xanatos and Fox. This is partially because Alex 'borrowed' Lex's body during a magic lesson from Puck--it's complicated--and partially, I think, because Lex just likes kids. That he's smaller and, well, less "scary" looking than a lot of us probably helps as well. With the hatchet basically burried between him and Fox because of this, it made moving into the Castle a bit easier.
As I mentioned in the entry on Broadway, all three of the Trio were up for the second-in-command position at one point. Lex competed with the others, but I don't think his heart was really in it. He's happy just to tinker and be a thinker. One of these days, when we've actually gained acceptance, Lex is going to really make something of himself in the human world. Maybe start up some kind of business with this internet thing that's taking off. Or invent the better toaster.
I appreciate the wonder and amazement Lex brings into our lives.
