High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Elisa Maza, voiced by Salli Richardson, is a fictional character and the human protagonist of the Disney animated television series Gargoyles. She is the steadfast ally (and honorary member) of the Manhattan Clan. Elisa has an especially close relationship with Goliath, the clan`s leader (a subject originally evaded by both of them and left deliberately ambiguous for over two seasons). She also serves as the clan`s guide to the modern world as well as its voice of reason, often curbing the irrational impulses of its members.
