The Manhattan Clan is an offshoot of the original Wyvern Clan. In 1994, approximately one thousand years after the Wyvern Massacre and sleep spell was cast on the surviving gargoyles at Wyvern Hill, David Xanatos bought and transported Castle Wyvern to the top of the Eyrie Building in New York City, thus breaking the spell by raising the castle above the clouds and waking Goliath, the clan's leader, and the four other surviving gargoyles and the single gargoyle beast.

Xanatos later reunited Goliath with Demona, and she and Xanatos tricked Goliath and his clan into committing crimes against Cyberbiotics. Eventually, Demona showed her hatred for humans when Goliath mentioned his human friend, Elisa, causing a rift between the two gargoyles and Demona's official leaving of the clan.

Elisa ultimately showed Goliath and his clan that Xanatos was their enemy, and was instrumental in landing him in jail. The clan remained at Castle Wyvern for several months, but eventually had to leave for their own safety. Elisa found the clan a new home in the clock tower above her police precinct headquarters. The clan would live in the clock tower for more than a year. In February, 1995, while living at the clock tower, the clan took an oath to protect the island of Manhattan and watch over all its inhabitants, human and gargoyle alike.

And its citizens surely would find their power needed, as strange creatures of darkness began to pop up in the world on in the city. While Goliath is on his Avalon tour, Brooklyn is the one who ends up coming to the aid of Manhattan - and finds an unlikely ally in Xanatos and his mechanized Gargoyles. Still, they cannot save the rest of the world, and soon, darkness enveils Manhattan, making it a world of its own.
