Gary, the lordly Griffin of Cowes, commands both sky and shore with regal authority and a tendency for theatrics. Proudly sporting a lion’s body and eagle’s wings, he’s as quick to deliver a sarcastic remark as he is to dive-bomb the local regatta. Famous for his fondness for kayaking and his legendary appetite for lobster, Gary’s sense of community is matched only by his reluctance to do anything quietly.

Never challenge Gary to a race or a buffet; he’ll win both, and then write a poem about it just to rub it in.
