Hunter (Gargoyles) - The Quarrymen

During the third season, Jon Canmore changed his name to John Castaway and continued his war on the Gargoyles by founding the Quarrymen, a society of masked gargoyle hunters determined to rid New York City of the Gargoyles. The Illuminati approached Jon Canmore to offer the funding needed to form The Quarrymen.

After the Gargoyles' existence was made public during season two's Hunter's Moon, the Quarryman held seminars that fed the attending public's fear and misunderstanding of the Gargoyles and then recruited them into the fold. Quarrymen often resorted to violence and intimidation against both Gargoyles and humans who hoped for peace between the two. The Quarrymen were used often in the third season as the stock villains of the show as many of the earlier villains (David Xanatos, Fox and Macbeth) had made peace with the clan. While not adorned in the three scarred mask or being of Canmore blood (beyond Castaway himself), the Quarrymen upheld the legacy of the Hunter: to destroy all Gargoyles.

The members wore blue uniforms adorning their logo of an encircled hammer off the side of the chests. Castaway's uniform would feature the signature Hunter scars over the Quarrymen logo. They masked themselves with blue hoods, holding a passing resemblance to the Ku Klux Klan. Their primary weapons were electronically powered hammer capable of shattering stone (most likely the weapons were designed to easily destroy a sleeping Gargoyle during the day.) Casta

Unlike his portrayal in the Goliath Chronicles, Castaway is shown to maintain a level head at times. An example of this is that while having the Quarrymen attending a Halloween party in (#3-4 of the comic), he instructs them to take their masks, but not their hammers (as assaulting a partygoer that's in a Gargoyle costume would hurt The Quarrymen's image). Also in issue 3, Castaway receives a visit from Martin Hacker (Who ranks 32 in the Illuminati, while John ranks 36). Hacker is checking to see how "The Illuminati's investment" is paying off and assures Castaway that they support his decision to rid the world of Gargoyles (Which may not be true as he told Matt Bluestone and Xanatos some alternate objectives).
