Thailog is a major antagonist in the animated series Gargoyles. He was one of many clones created to act as a sort of mirror-image of the Manhattan Clan, Thailog was their leader and a dark counterpart to Goliath (widely regarded as the main protagonist of the series). He would also become one of the main villains of the comics.
He was voiced by Keith David, who also played Chaos in Final Fantasy, Big Tim in Requiem for a Dream, Tublat in The Legend of Tarzan, Despero in Justice League, Atlas in Teen Titans, Thel 'Vadam in the Halo video game series, Julius Little and himself in the Saints Row video game series, Tombstone in The Spectacular Spider-Man, Dr. Facilier in The Princess and the Frog, Psycho Delic in the Megamind video games, Internet in Regular Show, President Andre Curtis in Rick and Morty, Lord Marmoo in Kulipari: An Army of Frogs, Malcolm Kane in Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters, Thrull in The Last Kids on Earth and King Andrias in Amphibia.
Appearance[]
Physically, Thailog is a perfect Goliath clone, sharing the same form, extraordinary strength, and voice; although there are pigment changes and marks due to its artificially accelerated aging process. As a result, his hair is pure white, his eyes are dark red, his skin is dark purple/indigo, and his wing membranes are pale lilac. He usually wears battle armor and a helmet, which he obtained after escaping from Black Rock Point, although he is sometimes seen wearing no armor or other clothing, such as such as the Roman toga. Thailog's intellect and personality are the product of artificially accelerated growth and the subconscious education program of Anton Sevarius and David Xanatos.
Personality[]

In terms of personality, Thailog is the polar opposite of Goliath: completely cunning and deceitful, he is willing to betray anyone for his own sake, and he not only exhibits a complete lack of protective instincts of the gargoyle; but actively seek to cause pain and suffering. He exhibits sociopathy to the point of being even shorter than Demona, and at times seems to be completely aware and comfortable with his own evil nature. He also seems to have something like the Oedipus complex; both in his attempt to kill his "father" and in choosing a mate (first Demona, who was Goliath's mate, then Delilah, a hybrid clone created from the DNA of Demona and Elisa). He is a skilled con man, rivaling Xanatos in terms of his intelligence and cunning.
Biography[]
Thailog greatly resembles Goliath save for having darker skin, white hair and red eyes - a result of mutation caused by his accelerated age, though physical similarities are about as far as things go for the two as Thailog is considered one of the more genuinely malevolent foes the gargoyles have faced and at times actually seems to take pride in his evil reputation.
Thailog is one of the most thoroughly malevolent of the Manhattan Clan's adversaries. Thoroughly cunning, persuasive, and duplicitous, he will happily betray anybody for his own benefit, and is ever ready to enrich himself at others' expense. He also seems to have something of an Oedipus complex, both in his attempts to kill his "fathers", especially Goliath, and in his choice for mates (first Demona, who was Goliath's past mate, and then Delilah, a genetic amalgamation of Demona and Elisa). He is a skilled trickster, rivaling Xanatos in his wiliness.
Even though Thailog is a sociopath, he is not insane or irrational as he even seems to be aware that he is evil - and is proud of it. Despite this, Thailog is often polite and can be charming to women, though this was to mask his true intentions, making him kind of a womanizer.

Trivia[]
- Thailog is a slight variation of "Goliath" spelled backward. According to the creators, they once heard Goliath played backwards and liked the sound, inspiring them to create a sort of reverse-character.
- Thailog is unusual in that his eyes glow bright red when angered. This is normally only seen in female gargoyles but is likely done to further show his corrupt/unnatural status.
- Thailog appeared to have a type of Oedipus Complex, wishing to kill his "fathers" (Xanatos, Sevarius, and Goliath) while also picking Demona as his original mate and his creation of Delilah.
- Greg Weisman later parodied his own creation in an episode of Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command when Emperor Zurg cloned Buzz, creating a conniving pint-sized evildoer named Zzub, who mocked Zurg for just spelling the hero's name backwards.
- As Xanatos becomes more honorable and becoming more of anti-hero as the series progresses Thailog takes over Xanatos's old role as main villain.
- As of 1997, Thailog has Sevarius working for him on projects.
- Sevarius is proud of Thailog's depraved schemes, given that he is willing to fund a lot twisted and horrible experiments; all which Sevarius enjoys doing.
