The trouble is, Northgalis isn't really a 'Gargoyles' villain so much.

Here's some rambling on the episode. I'll try and brainstorm a
structure a bit later, but please shoot ideas and comments early and
often.

The way I see it, this story has three central events, all of which
are linked. It would therefore be ideal structurally to make this a
three-part story to suit, although whether that will be practical
when it comes down to writing is another matter I guess. The central
events are:

- Titania's seduction and abandonment of the White Knight.
- Oberon discovers the affair and banishes his children from Avalon.
- The White Knight encounters Fox and presumably Titania in the
present day.

These are pretty much the core of the story so you can't get around
it. The rest is up for grabs basically. But let's break this down
into the component parts:

THE SEDUCTION

Chronologically, this needs to come first. Structurally, that makes
less sense. The Knight has never been in `Gargoyles' before, and so
people are just going to go "so what?" The way to frame this is
probably in a set of `Dark Ages' flashbacks, but then we'd have to
have flashbacks within a flashback for it to work. So my suggestion
is to repeat a scene. We'd open with `in media res' with a flashback
scene where Goliath and the White Knight are locked in combat in a
dangerous situation and leave that open ended. Then we'd tell
everything that leads up to that point in one set of flashbacks, and
everything that's happening in the present day in the rest.

THE BANISHMENT

This needs to be from Titania's point of view, so we're going to have
to bring her in by the end of the first part (possibly as a
cliffhanger if we're revealing for the first time that she's the
faerie that's been described). I don't know enough about the politics
of Avalon's court to say much about this flashback. Who dealt with
this sort of thing previously?

THE CLIMAX

This one will probably be the most concerned with the present day
plot, but to balance out I think we ought to see the difference a
millennium has made. Some of the scenes might include Anastasia and
Renard getting together, and the White Knight approaching Keats. In
the present day, we need some kind of confrontation between the White
Knight and Titania and a satisfactory resolution. I'm tempted to
suggest that the White Knight should die but since we've got an awful
lot of deaths this season – Castaway, Brentwood, the "Crossover"
vampire whose name escapes me, Elizabeth, the "Alone" victim – I
think it would be better for him to find something else to do.

Other considerations:

- I think we need different names from the White Knight and Titania.
The former is a modern name that was particularly designed for
Arthur's encounter, the latter is her most used name and hardly the
one she'd seduce a mortal with (especially if she was trying to be
secretive about it). I've no idea what names they could use instead
though.
- I think it might be best if the White Knight was either French or
his father was French, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the title of
Keats' poem makes it a fairly obvious link. Secondly, it gives a
possible explanation for why Lancelot was able to contact the White
Knight in `Pendragon' with nobody else knowing: Lancelot is the White
Knight's father. This gives the White Knight character a bit of a
better shelf life for a character, and draws in the Illuminati arc a
bit more than it has been otherwise this season.
