You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''David Xanatos''' is a fictional character and one of the primary villains of the [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] animated television series ''[[Gargoyles (TV series)|Gargoyles]]''. In the series, he is the founder, owner and [[CEO]] of Xanatos Enterprises and a member of the [[Illuminati]].  He was voiced by and inspired by [[Jonathan Frakes]], specifically his character of [[William Riker]] in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''.<ref>((cite news|title = Gargoyles Has 'Star Trek' Ties  |work= [[Orlando Sentinel]]|url= http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1997-06-22/entertainment/9706120333_1_gargoyles-sirtis-zoom|accessdate=2011-08-18))</ref>

==Fictional biography==
David Xanatos started life as the son of Petros Xanatos, a Greek immigrant who worked as a fisherman in [[Bar Harbor, Maine]].  Young Xanatos received an anonymous letter containing a set of valuable 10th-century coins. He sold the coins for $20,000 and invested the money in a series of successful business and investment ventures, thus pulling himself out of poverty in the process. Xanatos would later embark on a business career, where he laid the groundwork in the first steps towards building his own conglomerate company, Xanatos Enterprises. Despite his father's belief that Xanatos did not deserve the gift that had launched his business career, Xanatos continued to claim that he would one day prove to his father to be a [[self-made man]] in his own right.

During this time, Xanatos took on Owen Burnett under his wing, a former employee of business rival Halcyon Renard, as his assistant. Eventually, Burnett revealed that he is actually [[Puck (mythology)|Puck]], a Child of Oberon, and offered Xanatos a tempting choice: a single wish to gain immortality or a lifetime of service as the mortal Owen Burnett.  Against Puck's expectations, Xanatos, confident that he could achieve immortality through other methods, chose Owen's service, and the decision deeply impressed Puck to keep his end of the bargain, with the inference that, should Xanatos achieve his goal, he will be guaranteed Puck/Owen's services for eternity.

Xanatos learned of Castle Wyvern from [[Demona]], the only gargoyle from the Wyvern Clan who had neither been destroyed nor put into stone sleep. He purchased the ruins, transported them to Manhattan, and had it rebuilt atop his New York skyscraper, the Eyrie Building. With the castle "above the clouds," Xanatos successfully released the Manhattan Clan from their frozen sleep.<ref name="Hollywood">((cite news |title=Six Cartoons That Should Be Movies |work=Hollywood.com |url=http://www.hollywood.com/content/feature_detail.aspx?id=6973247&p=5 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004135255/http://www.hollywood.com/content/feature_detail.aspx?id=6973247&p=5 |archive-date=2012-10-04 |accessdate=2011-08-18))</ref>

Xanatos initially posed as the Gargoyles' friend, convincing them to "acquire" technology from his rival Cyberbiotics for him and ultimately attempting to destroy the gargoyles with replacements he has built, the Steel Clan, when the gargoyles proved too hard to control. The Steel Clan was defeated, however, and Xanatos was convicted for receiving stolen property. Xanatos continued to plot against the Gargoyles from prison, testing them and attempting to remove them from the castle. Upon his release, he became one of their greatest enemies, having a particularly fierce rivalry with their leader, [[Goliath (Gargoyles)|Goliath]].

Xanatos also committed himself to create his own clan of gargoyles that would be loyal to him. To that end, he tried several attempts throughout the series to do that such as resurrecting Goliath's brother Coldstone and other dead gargoyles from the Wyvern Clan; enlisting the services of a "freelance geneticist" named Dr. Anton Sevarius to craft unwitting human subjects towards genetically creating gargoyle-like mutates from humans, one of whom was [[Elisa Maza]]'s younger brother, Derek; creating a clone of Goliath named Thailog, and perfecting the Steel Clan. During this time, he also discovered the existence of the [[Illuminati]] and attained membership, though the lowest-ranked.

Xanatos' goals shifted to acquiring immortality for himself through the use of sorcery and magic, even involving himself with children of Oberon, including Oberon himself—the formidable Lord of the mystical island of Avalon.

Xanatos would meet an equal in [[Fox (Gargoyles)|Fox]] and marry her. It was on this occasion that, by inviting Goliath to the wedding and luring him into seeking reconciliation with Demona, Xanatos was able to reconstruct the Phoenix Gate. The wedding party was brought back in time to the 10th century, where Xanatos arranged for the ancient coins to be delivered to himself a thousand years in the future, via Illuminati, as well as a message describing what to do with them. In this way, Xanatos fulfilled his own history through a [[Causal loop|predestination paradox]], at the same time proving himself to his father as a "self-made man" in his own volition.

When Demona finally betrayed Xanatos to advance her own goals of destroying the human race, he was forced to call a truce with Goliath to stop her.<ref>"[[City of Stone|City of Stone, Part II]]"</ref><ref>((cite news|title = 10 Villains Who Changed Sides (But Stayed Cool)  |work= [[io9.com]]|url= http://io9.com/5823222/10-villains-who-changed-sides-but-stayed-cool|accessdate=2011-08-18))</ref> Goliath was later instrumental in saving Xanatos's newborn son Alexander, something which Xanatos owed him a great debt, and pledged to pay back to him. He soon created new robotic bodies for Coldstone's other personalities to inhabit, which he named Coldfire and Coldsteel. Since these gargoyles were also created by magic, though, it was impossible for mind transfer to occur. While he and Fox were out to dinner, Puck and Alexander performed the transfer for him. When the existence of the gargoyles was revealed to the public, Xanatos puts an end to the feud between them and voluntarily allows the gargoyles to come back to live in their ancestral castle.
