So, if Hiram isn’t the Gargoyle King, who is? Well, while there are plenty of shady characters around town - including the Farm cult leader Edgar Evernever - some fans think that it might just be the other Lodge parent. It’s hard to believe that the same man would waste his time trying to play a game with high school kids. When Archie threatened to expose Hiram’s criminal dealings, Hiram hatched an elaborate scheme to frame Archie for murder, have him arrested, and then have him tortured in prison. He has the town’s sheriff, warden, and mayor in his pocket, so he could do a lot more damage than just getting kids to drink blue poison. He’s used to the finer things in life, and his games are more about self-preservation than blind manipulation or revenge. So far, it looks like the Gargoyle King gets players to believe that they have to ascend by sacrificing themselves, and has them drink a chalice of blue poisonous liquid to get to the next level.Īll this pageantry seems a little much for Hiram’s character. And in Episode 4, “The Midnight Club,” it was revealed that the Riverdale parents played the game in high school, which resulted in the death of their principal, Felix Featherhead. Two students, Dilton and Ben, have already died playing the game. The Gargoyle King is the game master of Gryphons and Gargoyles - Riverdale’s version of Dungeons and Dragons - a game that manipulates people into making deadly decisions. He’s a manipulator with access to people in high places, so the games he plays are much more sophisticated than a role-playing board game. However, while his criminal past includes a few indirect murders and a serious lack of ethics, dressing up in a skull and twig costume to romp around the forest doesn’t seem like Hiram’s jam. The Gargoyle King’s true identity is still a mystery, but with the show’s pattern of parent murderers it’s not impossible that Hiram is the man behind the mask. So is Hiram Lodge the Gargoyle King on Riverdale? Since the past two villains on Riverdale have been parents, fans are wondering if Veronica’s criminal dad is the one behind the monster mask. This season’s biggest mystery has to do with the Gargoyle King, a villain who has been killing kids in town. Riverdale airs Wednesdays at 8 PM ET on The CW.Things aren’t always what they seem on Riverdale, and with all the sordid twists and turns, it’s hard to predict what’s coming. Archie and Jughead can only ignore the atrocities literally happening in their backyard for so long. The Gargoyle King is leaving a trailer of bodies because some people take Dungeons and Dragons too seriously, and Hiram is seemingly involved in every dastardly thing happening within city limits. Betty (Lili Reinhart) is locked up in Sisters of Quiet Mercy, while her mom has run off to join a cult. What breaks them up remains to be seen, but there's plenty unraveling in Riverdale that's going to need their attention. "They have to go their separate ways at some point." "Eventually, they end up finding themselves having to kind of - like the fork in the road," he said. As Apa tells it, though, they may not come home at the same time. Eventually, both will have to come back to Riverdale. Of course, that doesn't mean it'll last too long. Now, with Riverdale in their rear-view, thanks to Hiram's obsession with destroying this teenager, Archie can have an adventure with his buddy, wherever it may take them. While they are the best of friends in comic books, the two are so heavily weighed down by the trials and tribulations in living in a horrible and dangerous town like Riverdale to have any time to be friends. He's not wrong when pointing out that there are very few storylines centered on the friendship between Archie and Jughead. It's really just Archie and Jughead for a little bit and it's a lot of fun and they’re on the lam and they're running away, kind of Stand By Me. "So you get that for a good chunk of episodes. "It's really an Archie-Jughead narrative, which is kind of in rare supply," Sprouse told GameSpot and other reporters during a visit to Riverdale's set.
