Goliath was blown off the rig in an explosion, unable to reach Thailog, and he presumed him dead, to his sorrow. Thailog responded by trying to fight him, and in the ensuing struggle, they set the entire rig ablaze. The group managed to escape but Goliath came back to try and convince Thailog one last time to join him. He planned to destroy all of his "fathers" in a blaze of glory, setting the oil tanker ablaze and leaving him with 20 million dollars of ransom money to see his dreams through. Xanatos and Goliath encouraged him to join their respective parties, but Thailog did not want to live on Xanatos' terms or join the Manhattan Clan merely to protect a city infested with "inferior humans". Thailog also captured Goliath and Elisa who were investigating Xanatos' interests in the oil rig. Thailog manipulated Xanatos and Sevarius into coming to the oil rig offshore Black Rock Point, where he captured the two men who were arguing over Thailog's disappearance, Xanatos thinking Sevarius had betrayed him, Sevarius thinking he was acting under Xanatos' orders. The Manhattan Clan decided to investigate. He then assaulted them, and they, thinking he was Goliath, confronted Goliath about it later at the clocktower.
Thailog drew Elisa Maza, whom he knew presumably had contact with Goliath though Xanatos' files, Broadway, and Lexington to Black Rock Point. Using all his skill coming from his other "father" Xanatos, he concocted an ingenious plan. He also wanted to see what his "father" Goliath was like. He wanted to get out into the world and have the resources to do something with himself. When Thailog was released, fully grown, he did not hold well with the fact that he was grown to be a pawn of Xanatos or as Sevarius' private guinea pig. Thus Thailog was "born" in 1995 with a fully grown gargoyle body and a keen, advanced, if twisted, mind. He was also subliminally educated with Xanatos's unique "slant" on things, which included a well-developed business sense, a very keen and cunning mind, and a willingness to do anything for profit and to fulfill his desires. His maturation process was accelerated, artificially aging him to the same biological age as Goliath in a matter of months. Over the next 19 weeks, Sevarius used the genetic material to create Thailog. They believed the lie, and the incident was forgotten. He told Goliath and Elisa that the robot had activated due to a freak overload in its power matrix.
Owen Burnett showed up right on cue, and treated the wound, and in doing so, extracted blood samples, complete with DNA. Goliath destroyed the robot as Elisa looked on, but not before it scratched bloody lines down his chest. Thailog was conceived when a Steel Clan robot was activated for the specific purpose of opening wounds in Goliath's skin.
