Using [[Titania's Mirror]], [[Demona]] captured Puck to force him to destroy the [[human]], [[Elisa Maza]], which he did in a roundabout way. During the night, Puck transformed all the humans in [[Manhattan]] to [[gargoyles]], and the [[Manhattan clan|Manhattan Clan]] to humans. At the end of the night, Puck arranged that Demona should turn into a human every day at sunrise, and revert to her true gargoyle form at dusk. <ref>''[[The Mirror]]''</ref>

In order to escape [[Oberon]]'s impending [[Gathering]], Puck cast an illusion on [[Goliath]] during his [[Avalon World Tour|Avalon travels]] in an attempt to obtain the [[Phoenix Gate]]. Goliath, in his refusal, opened a time portal, and threw the gate into the time stream. <ref>''[[Future Tense]]''</ref>
 
 
During the Gathering, Puck failed to appear so Oberon returned to the mortal world to track him down and steal [[Alexander Fox Xanatos|Alexander Xanatos]]. Puck revealed his human alias to be [[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. <ref>''[[The Gathering]]''</ref>In condition as 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. <ref>''[[Possession]]''</ref>
 
 
==Characteristics==
 
 
Puck is a [[Trickster|trickster]], and one of the more light-hearted of his kind, who delights in all manner of relatively harmless magical confusion, such as changing [[humans]] into [[gargoyles]] and medieval weaponry into overgrown sunflowers. Despite his capacity for causing trouble, he does have a certain fondness for humans - and a mild dislike for humorless people, or at least for working with them, such as [[Demona]]. He has also developed a loyalty to the Xanatoses, initially based simply on fascination with and delight in their own "trickster" natures and ingenuity, but which has deepened to a level that has astonished him.
 
 
Puck has also gone under the alias of Robin Goodfellow, which is publicly connected to him in the way that "[[Owen Burnett]]" is not. He, at some point in his career, crafted a [[Puck's Flute|magic flute]], which Oberon used to help [[Boudicca]] find his scent when tracking Puck in [[New York]] at the time of the [[Gathering]]. (The powers of this flute are as yet unknown). While considerably powerful in magic, Puck occasionally needs a conduit to amplify his antics, such as when he used the antenna mounted on the North Tower of the World Trade Center to transform all the humans on [[Manhattan|Manhattan Island]] into gargoyles though it should be noted, that he later turned them back to humans without it, suggesting he was lying about the necessity.
 
 
==Powers and abilities==
 
 
Puck is a fay and a trickster, making him an unpredictable and sometimes dangerous entity but like all of his race he is weakened by iron. Although he may not appear formidable, Puck is actually a very powerful individual with a vast array of magical powers all ruled by a cunning and devious mind. His powers include:
 
 
*Spell-casting
 
*Reality-bending
 
*Flying <ref>''The Mirror''</ref>
 
*Possession
 
*Conjuration
 
*Shape-shifting
 
 
*Illusions<ref>''Future Tense''</ref>
 
 
*Invisibility
 
 
*Animating lifeless things
 
Given his past service to [[Oberon]], that Oberon chose to collect Puck himself, and that puck was willing to fight (an albeit weakened) Oberon, it is possible that puck may be the most powerful of the [[Children of Oberon]], with only [[Titania|Titiana]], and Oberon himself being stronger. He also displayed the greatest magical range among the Children of Oberon, with most others showing great strength, in a particular power or skill.
 
 
==Spells==
 
*"Thy sight Demona doth offend,
 
: so Puck will hasten to amend.
 
 
: Begone Elisa, human born,
 
 
: and be no more as you were formed."
 
*"All humans on this concrete isle,
 
: Demona finds your presence vile.
 
 
: So do you now as I command,
 
 
: and be no woman, child, nor man!"
 
*"The humans love a battle hearty,
 
: so does Puck; come on let's party!"
 
*"First the humans I'll attend,
 
: and now the gargoyles will I mend.
 
 
: If his efforts you commend,
 
 
: free Puck, let him homeward wend."
 
*"Fearsome creature who would stay
 
: unchanged by the light of day,
 
 
: remain you thus throughout the night,
 
 
: and be thou flesh by dawn's fair light."
 
*"For the spirits to be willing, the flesh must first grow weak.
 
: Just long enough for soul in flight to pass from cheek to cheek."
 
==Quotes==
 
*"Puck is many things, but never a poor guest."
 
*"Big Daddy Oberon has already begun the gathering."
 
*"I got a sunny disposition and I'm always kind to animals."
 
*"You hurt him with that one. Do it again."
 
*"I live for subterfuge."
 
 
==Trivia==
 
* Puck is one of several characters played by a Star Trek cast member. In this case Brent Spiner, who portrayed Data.
 
* When [[Demona]] commanded him, he showed a tendancy to bend but not disobey his orders. This was shown again when he gave Alexander his first lesson to separate [[Coldsteel]] and [[Coldfire]] from [[Coldstone]]'s body. Also in the episode "Future Tense," though this attempt failed.
 
*Like Fox Puck is Bisexual
