History
Daughter of real estate magnate Henry Corpo, Sylvia Corpo found a number of living stone gargoyles which her father threw out of an old building before tearing it down to build the Graycar Building. Being a superstitous man, Corpo did not put a 13th floor in the building, going straight from the 12th to the 14th floors. Sylvia, however, somehow had the ability to create a 13th floor which she could hide from existence upon command, here she created a home for the gargoyles. Gara, the king of the gargoyles, however, did not want Sylvia to be their ruler, though Sylvia soon discovered that she had some control over the actions of the gargoyles.
When Venus attempted to access the 13th floor of the building, she discovered that the offices had been completely destroyed and the workers were killed. Gara then attempted to slay Venus as well, put she was able to destroy several of the gargoyles with an emergency fire axe she found on the wall. When police arrived, they could find no sign of a 13th floor and thought that Venus must have imagined it. Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, Venus returned to the building that night and again entered the 13th floor. It was then that she found Sylvia and learned of her connection to the gargoyles, Sylvia then attempted to kill her before she could reveal her secret. Once she turned her back on Gara and the other gargoyles, they proceeded to attack Sylvia from behind, not wishing her to be their queen any longer. Sylvia ran down the corridor and saw an open elevator door. Unfortunately as she raced through she realized that there was no elevator on the other side and she plummated to her death along with the gargoyles, who were crushed by the dropping elevator car.[1]Attributes
