Who played Darryl Doiley on Riverdale?

Is Darryl Doiley the Gargoyle King?

Darryl Doiley was the game master when the parents of Riverdale were playing Gryphons and Gargoyles on the night of the ascension party. It’s very likely that he poisoned Principal Featherhead back in the day. But why is he torturing Betty and the gang in the present day? 

Betty is having a hard time believing that Darryl died of suicide. She confronts Penelope Blossom at Veronica’s speakeasy and straight up accuses her of poisoning Darryl. But Penelope points the finger at Alice Cooper, who was the one that wrote the article reporting that Darryl had died of carbon monoxide poisoning. 

Betty grills her mother at home but Alice won’t have any of it. She shuts down Betty’s investigation just before the lights go out and they get a visit from the Gargoyle King himself. Is Darry Doiley alive and heading the Gargoyle gang? What’s his motive and why now after all these years?
