Goliath initially saw Coldstone as an abomination, but soon saw past horrifying appearance to the family ties that lay beneath. Demona and Xanatos then tried to use him to destroy Goliath and the Manhattan Clan. When he first appeared, he had turned bitter and confused after a thousand years of oblivion as well as thanks to the lies and manipulation of Demona and Xanatos. He took the name Coldstone when Demona informed him that he was "cold stone given life". In the episode Reawakening he was resurrected in a scene reminiscent of Frankenstein (Xanatos repeats the line from Frankenstein " It's alive!"), and in many ways he serves as Gargoyles' version of the monster. The cold stone fragments were recovered by Demona shortly after the massacre (a scene alludes to this in the episode City of Stone), and combined with robotics and weaponry from Xanatos' Steel Clan robots. As part of their bids to possess gargoyles that they could personally control, Coldstone was created by Demona and Xanatos from the stone remains of three of Goliath's rookery siblings that were killed in the Wyvern massacre.
