His scarred eye came from receiving a magical blast to it from Archmage. He was the leader of the clean until he passed leadership down to Goliath. Hudson along with the rest of his clan lived in Scotland and protected the kingdom of Avalon.

It was his friendship with Jeremy that saved Hudson from losing his good eye when Jeremy convinced Hudson to get eye surgery. He taught Hudson how to read and figured out Hudson's race as a gargoyle, which Hudson didn't tell him about because he didn't want to scare Jeremy or lose his friendship. Like most of the clan before awakening to Manhattan, Hudson was illiterate, but later made a friend named Jeremy who was a blind man. He refuses to show weakness to a stubborn length of refusing to let his clan know of his growing blindness. He carries a great sense of pride as a warrior and rarely asks for help, even when he needs it.

Hudson keeps too many of the gargoyles' traditions and ways, once stating, 'A gargoyle can no more stop protecting the castle than breathing the air.' He keeps his Scottish accent and talks with old Scottish words, often addressing younger folk as 'lad' or 'lass'. Due to his old age, Hudson contentedly takes to guarding their home and watching TV with Bronx instead of patrolling the city. Though brave, Hudson does fear losing sight in his good eye. He always advises his fellow gargoyles whenever they're having problems.

He then took the river's name 'Hudson' for himself, due to such customs. Hudson heavily believes in the clan's old ways and was at first baffled by the fact that everything in the modern world had a name. He also carries a short sword usually held in the belt of his loincloth. Unlike the other gargoyles, he wears more clothing: a red shirt with black shoulder armor and tan trousers. His left eye was blinded in a fight with the Archmage and is now scarred and yellow. Hudson is an elderly, tan gargoyle with long, white hair and golden webbing in his wings.
