Attitudes of The New Olympus Clan

The New Olympians fled to their island to escape human persecutation for appearing different.   Consequently, they do not hold humans in high regard.   The New Olympus Gargoyle clan is even more reserved than the rest of the New Olympians when it comes to revealing themselves.
