Ancient and medieval

Sir Eider McDuck

Sir Eider McDuck is mentioned in the story "The Old Castle's Secret" by Carl Barks and later appeared in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree.

Sir Eider was born in Scotland in 880Don Rosa: [http://stp.ling.uu.se/~starback/dcml/creators/rosa-on-himself.html#dates Birth And Death Dates Of The Ducks, Coots And McDucks] ] . Later in his life, he became the leader of The Clan McDuck. In 946, the castle was under siege by Anglo-Saxons, raiders who did not care about the treaty that King Edmund I of England and King Malcolm I of Scotland signed in 945. Sir Eider did not supply arrows for his men and paid them only 30 pieces of copper an hour. His under-paid men abandoned their lord to save their lives, and Sir Eider died fighting the raiders alone.

Sir Eider was buried in the family cemetery, and his armour was placed in one of the castle's hallwaysCarl Barks: "The Old Castle's Secret". First published in 1948 ( [http://coa.INDUCKS.org/story.php?c=W+OS++189-02 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] ).] .

Sir Quackly McDuck

Sir Quackly McDuck is mentioned in the story "The Old Castle's Secret" by Carl Barks and later appeared in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree. He also appears as a ghost in Rosa's "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck".

Sir Quackly was born in Scotland in the year 1010. He later became the leader of The Clan McDuck. In 1057 King Macbeth I of Scotland offered him a small treasure chest in exchange for his support in the ongoing war for the throne. Sir Quackly agreed and served the king during the war, but became obsessed with protecting the treasure, and accidentally trapped himself inside the walls with his treasure, where he subsequently died.

Sir Quackly became a legend among the McDucks, who claimed that his ghost protected the treasure and the castle. In the story "The Old Castle's Secret", the villain Diamond Dick disguises himself as Quackly's ghost to scare Scrooge McDuck away, while in the later "The Last of the Clan McDuck", Quackly's ghost appears in person, advising a young Scrooge McDuck without revealing his true identity. Sir Quackly's remains and the treasure chest were found by Scrooge McDuck in 1948.

Sir Roast McDuck

Sir Roast McDuck is mentioned in the story "The Old Castle's Secret" by Carl Barks and later appeared in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree.

He was born in Scotland in 1159Don Rosa: "The Last of the Clan McDuck" (part 1 of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"). First published 1992 ( [http://coa.INDUCKS.org/story.php?c=D+91308 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] ).] . He was very gluttonous. The clan was until then one of the richest in Scotland, but that changed in 1189. He was asked by King William I of Scotland to offer most of his clan's treasure in order to fulfill King Richard I of England's terms for a treaty that been signed between them. The treaty said that if William offered to Richard 10.000 marks he would be free. William would be freed of his oath of subservience to Richard. Out of patriotism Roast obeyed his king's wishes. That later led to financial problems and decline of the clan. Later Roast's relationship with the king became tensed. In 1205 he raided the king's cellar. He died a little later due to indigestion. He was buried in the family cemetery. His armour was placed in one of Castle McDuck, the clan's main castle, hallways.

Sir Stuft McDuck

Sir Stuft McDuck is one of the ancient McDucks, created by Carl Barks.

Sir Stuft was born in Scotland in 1110, and later became the leader of The Clan McDuck. He was a very successful leader, and the clan became richer under his leadership. He died in 1175. He was buried in the family cemetery and his armor was placed in a hallway of Castle McDuck, the clan's main castle.

Sir Swamphole McDuck

Sir Swamphole McDuck is mentioned in the story "The Old Castle's Secret" by Carl Barks and later appeared in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree.

Sir Swamphole was born in 1190 Under his leadership the Clan suffered from financial problems. In 1220 he decided to seal Castle McDuck, the clan's main castle, dungeons in an attempt to decrease the maintenance cost of the castle. He did however create a secret passageway that led from one of castle's hallways to the sealed dungeons, and from there to the family cemetery out of the castle. The passageway was useful for transportation when the castle was being under siege by rival clans. Swamphole died in 1260. The entrance to the passageway in the cemetery was disguised as his tomb. His bones remained in his armour, placed in front of the castle's entrance to the passageway.

Post-medieval to mid-19th century

Angus "Pothole" McDuck

Angus "Pothole" McDuck is Scrooge McDuck's uncle. He was mentioned in "The Great Steamboat Race" by Carl Barks and later appeared in person in a handful of stories by Don Rosa.

Angus McDuck was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1829 to Dingus McDuck and Molly Mallard. He had two younger brothers named Fergus McDuck and Jake McDuck.

Angus migrated to the United States during the late 1840s. In 1850 he was working as a cabin boy in the Mississippi River riverboat "Drennan Whyte" when it sunk. He was the only survivorDon Rosa: "The Master of the Mississippi" (chapter 2 of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". First published 1992 ( [http://coa.INDUCKS.org/story.php?c=D+91411 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] ).] . He continued working on Mississippi riverboats and he had obtained his own by 1861, named "Cotton Queen". Around the time of the American Civil War (1861-1865) he became quite successful as a riverboater. Soon after the end of the war in 1865 he and fellow riverboater Porker Hogg became the two owners of Cornpone Gables, a southern plantation that had gone bankrupt. The two were unable to settle their differences and they decided to have a riverboat race in 1870 to decide who would be the single owner. Both riverboats sunk. Porker had two more riverboats but Angus spent the next ten years as a professional card player.

In 1880, in a poker game with Porker, Angus won the rights to one of his rival's riverboats, named "Dilly Dollar". Porker soon lost his other riverboat to Blackheart Beagle and his sons, the first generation of Beagle Boys, a family of outlaws, and retired. Angus on the other hand hired his nephew Scrooge McDuck and a penniless inventor named Ratchet Gearloose as his crew. Business wasn't going well and Angus decided to retire in 1882 . He left his riverboat to his nephew and settled down in New Orleans.

He became the writer of a series of dime novels under the title "The Master of Mississippi", based on a highly exaggerated description of his life. His dime novels became very popular and to have more material to add he occasionally travelled through the countryDon Rosa: "The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff". First published 1996 ( [http://coa.INDUCKS.org/story.php?c=D+96089 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] )] . In the story "The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff" by Don Rosa, he is seen appearing at Buffalo Bill's Wild West. After the show's money is stolen by the Dalton Brothers, Angus rides out with Bill, Scrooge, P.T. Barnum, Annie Oakley, and Geronimo to stop the bandits.

Angus' exact date of death is unknown.

In 1955, Porker's nephew, Horseshoe Hogg, and Scrooge McDuck would bring their uncles' steamboats back to the surface to finish the race for Cornpone Gables. Scrooge won, only to learn that 85 years of disuse made the mansion so fragile that he accidentally took it down with a sneeze.

Dingus McDuck

Dingus McDuck, nicknamed "Dirty Dingus", was created by Don Rosa for his Duck Family Tree and has not appeared in person. Dingus, who was Scrooge McDuck's grandfather, was a coal miner. [Carl Barks: "Hound of the Whiskervilles". First published 1960 ( [http://coa.INDUCKS.org/story.php?c=W+US+++29-04 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] ).] He married Molly Mallard and had three sons: Angus McDuck, Jake McDuck, and Fergus McDuck.

In a 1960s story by Bob Gregory and Tony Strobl Scrooge's grandfather is referred to as Titus McDuck. [Giles Maurice: [http://nafsk.se/pipermail/dcml/2002-August/014107.html Family trees, Dingus McDuck, Titus McDuck, Abner "Whitewater" Duck [to Don Rosa] ] According to Don Rosa he would probably have used that name in his Family Tree if he had known of it.Fact|date=July 2007

Fergus McDuck

Fergus McDuck (1835-1902Don Rosa: "The Billionaire of Dismal Downs" (part 9 of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"). First published 1993 ( [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+93121 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] ).] ) is a prominent character in "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". He was Scrooge McDuck's father.

He was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1835 to "Dirty" Dingus McDuck and Molly Mallard, both working as coal miners at the time. He spent most of his life as a mill worker.

According to a story by William Van Horn, Fergus at some point had a short marriage with an unidentified woman, with whom he had the son Rumpus McFowl [William Van Horn: "Secrets". First published 1998 ( [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+98154 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] ).] . He later married Downy O'Drake, his wife in Rosa's stories, who became the mother of three of his children: Scrooge McDuck, Matilda McDuck, and Hortense McDuck. An Italian character, Gideon McDuck, might also be a son of Fergus.

The rest of Fergus' biography is shown in "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". In 1877 he encouraged his son to work to have his own money. Scrooge's obvious intelligence, skill at hard work and ambition made his father believe that Scrooge would be able to restore The Clan McDuck to its former glory.

In 1885 the Clan's hereditary lands would have been seized due to Fergus' inability to pay his taxes. But Scrooge spent his savings at the time, 10,000 dollars, to pay the taxes and became the new owner of their landsDon Rosa: "The New Laird of Castle McDuck" (part 5 of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"). First published 1993 ( [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+92191 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] ).] . While Scrooge was away Fergus and his family moved back to Castle McDuck, abandoned for centuries, in Dismal Downs. The family continued to work to pay for the taxes and Scrooge sent them most all of the money he earned while traveling. Fergus became a widower in 1897.

Scrooge became rich in the Klondike and returned to Scotland in 1902 as a billionaire. Scrooge's intention was originally to settle in Dismal Downs but he quickly changed his mind and decided to settle in the United States. He wanted to take his family with him. His sisters accepted but Fergus decided to stay. He died during the night, aged 67, and his three children left Scotland.

Fergus McDuck is probably the first main character to die in a Walt Disney funny animals comic book.

In the NES game DuckTales 2, Scrooge and his nephews found a piece of a treasure map that apparently belonged to Fergus. It claimed to lead to Fergus' lost treasure. However, due to Fergus' inability to pay taxes, it is presumed that this map is not canonical to "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck", unless such treasure was obtained later in his life.

In Don Rosa's "A Letter from Home", it's revealed that Fergus tried to find the Knight Templar treasure hidden in the castle McDuck by one of his ancestors, a Knight himself. Even though Fergus decided not to tell Scrooge about the treasure, he learns about it through other ways and, like Matilda McDuck, thinks Fergus kept the secret from him because he disapproved Scrooge. In the middle of their way to the treasure, Scrooge, Matilda and Scrooge's nephews find a letter from Fergus, who believed Scrooge would eventually find it, revealing the reason he hid the secret from Scrooge is that Scrooge would feel better building his own fortune instead of inheriting one [Don Rosa: "A Letter From Home". First published 2004 ( [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2003-081 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] )] .

Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck

Captain Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck first appeared in an untitled Carl Barks story (known as "The Horseradish Story"), where the story of Swindle McSue's trickery on Seafoam is used as back-story. The character's story was later expanded by Don Rosa, and he appears among the McDucks in heaven in "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck".

Hugh McDuck was born in Scotland in 1710. He settled in Glasgow in 1727 and turned to the sea for a living. He became successful and obtained his own ship, named "The Golden Goose"Carl Barks: Untitled Uncle Scrooge story, later known as "The Horseradish Story". First published 1953 ( [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=W+OS++495-02 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] ).] . He grew wealthy transporting merchandise between the United Kingdom and the West Indies.

In 1753 his luck was over. He signed a contract with Swindle McSue to deliver a chest full of horse radish to Jamaica. Three weeks later his ship sunk along with the chest before reaching Jamaica. It was sabotaged by Swindle. When Hugh returned to Scotland he found out that his contract had some small print letters that his failing sight did not allow him to see. The term in small letters said that if Hugh failed to deliver the chest to Jamaica all of his belongings would go to Swindle. Hugh kept just his clothes, his silver watch in his pocket and his golden dentures in his mouth. Swindle wanted them too but Hugh escaped.

The only thing known about his later life is that he died in 1776, aged 66. It is presumed he was involved in the American Revolutionary War. His descendant Quagmire McDuck inherited the silver watch, known by then as "the heirloom watch".

According to Don Rosa, Seafoam McDuck and Hugh McDuck are the same character; "Seafoam" is just a nickname.

Jake McDuck

Jake McDuck is Scrooge McDuck's uncle. He was mentioned in the story "A Christmas for Shacktown" (1952) by Carl Barks, in which Donald Duck dresses up as Jake in an attempt to trick Scrooge into giving money to charity.

The character was later used by Don Rosa, and appears in three of twelve original chapters of Rosa's "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". He lived in the same house as his brother Fergus McDuck and helped Fergus and his wife Downy O'Drake to raise their children. He settled in McDuck castle along with his brother in 1885. However, it appears that by 1902, Jake was no longer living there.

According to Rosa's sketches and timelines, Jake was born in 1832 to coal miners Dingus McDuck and Molly Mallard, and grew up to become a stockyard hand in Glasgow. His date of death is unknown, but it appears that both Scrooge and Donald believed him to be alive in 1952.

Malcolm McDuck

Malcolm "Matey" McDuck appeared in the story "Back to Long Ago!" by Carl Barks, in a scene where Scrooge McDuck is hypnotized into seeing events in the lives of his previous incarnations. The character was later used Don Rosa. He appeared on Rosa's Duck Family Tree, and he appears among the McDucks in heaven in "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck".

Malcolm McDuck was born in 1530. He belonged to a branch of the Clan McDuck that had settled in England.

He served in the English navy. In 1563 he became the first mate of the frigate HMS "Falcon Rover". He served under Captain Loyal Hawk. The ship raided Spanish Caribbean Sea between 1563 and 1564. He and boatswain Pintail Duck, who would later be reincarnated into Donald Duck, buried potatoes under the employment of Captain Loyal Hawk and for the Queen of EnglandCarl Barks: "Back to Long Ago!". First published 1956 ( [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=W+US+++16-02 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] )] .

Malcolm McDuck lost his life on December 9, 1564 when the Spanish fleet sunk the "Falcon Rover" along with its entire crew.

He eventually reincarnated into his descendant Scrooge McDuck.

Quagmire McDuck

Quagmire McDuck was first mentioned by Carl Barks in the story "The Heirloom Watch", published on June, 1955.

Quagmire was a brother of Dingus McDuck. He had inherited his ancestor Hugh McDuck's silver watch. Apparently he was wealthy enough to have his own estate. When he died his watch was inherited by his nephew Fergus McDuck. His estate remained unclaimed until the time that his grand-nephew Scrooge McDuck, by then owner of the watch, tried to claim it [Carl Barks: "The Heirloom Watch". First published 1955 ( [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=W+US+++10-03 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry).] ] .

Molly Mallard

Molly Mallard was created by Don Rosa for his Duck Family Tree and has not appeared in any stories. She was the wife of Dingus McDuck and had three sons: Angus McDuck, Jake McDuck, and Fergus McDuck.

Molly's name might be a reference to a Dublin fishmonger Molly Malone from a famous Irish folk song of the same name. However Don Rosa has admitted he does not remember anymore how he came up with the nameFact|date=July 2007.

Downy O'Drake

Downy O'Drake is Scrooge McDuck's mother. She was created by Don Rosa and appears in "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" and on the Duck Family Tree.

Of Irish origin, she was born in 1840. She married Fergus McDuck and became the mother of three children: Scrooge, Matilda, and Hortense.

She was a very devoted housewife and mother. She settled in Castle McDuck at Dismal Downs, the Clan McDuck's old castle, along with her family in 1885. She died in 1897, and was buried in the McDucks' cemetery.

Soapy Slick did the big mistake of making fun of her death, Scrooge took revenge by breaking the steel chains that Soapy had bound him with broke his boat into ruble sent a piano that weight at least a tonn flying throught the window and beated Soapy self near death.

Gideon McDuck

Gideon McDuck is presented as Scrooge McDuck's younger brother, and mainly appears in Italian comic stories; in those stories, Gideon is the editor of the newspaper "The Cricket"Romano Scarpa: "Paperino e i gamberi in salmì". First published 1956 ( [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++132-AP I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] )] , the most credible newspaper in Duckburg. Gideon also has an antagonistic relationship with his brother Scrooge.

The character was created by Romano Scarpa, and first appeared in a story published on February 10, 1956.

Gideon's existence does not agree with Carl Barks's view of Scrooge as the last of the Clan McDuck. Some fans have suggested that Gideon could be an illegitimate son of Fergus McDuck, born somewhere between the death of Fergus' wife on 1897 (by Don Rosa's timelines) and Fergus' own death in 1902Fact|date=July 2007.

Hortense McDuck

Hortense was introduced as a relatively well-connected member of her family. A daughter-in-law to Grandma Duck, a sister to Matilda McDuck and Scrooge McDuck, wife to Quackmore Duck, sister-in-law of Goosetave Gander and Daphne Duck, aunt to Gladstone Gander, mother to Thelma Duck and Donald Duck and finally grandmother to Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck. It should perhaps be noted that Carl Barks, when creating his duck family tree, had forgotten that Al Taliaferro had already given the name of Donald's sister as Della Duck. To avoid confusion her full name was later given as Della Thelma Duck.

Hortense was born in 1876 in Glasgow, Scotland as the youngest child of Fergus McDuck and Downy O'Drake. In Barks's tree, her older brother was Scrooge McDuck and her older sister Matilda McDuck. Some non-Barks writers gave Scrooge two half-brothers, Rumpus McFowl and Gideon McDuck, though these do not appear in Barks's conception of the family. Jake McDuck, her paternal uncle was also living with them.

Hortense was born in a working class family living in relative poverty. In 1877 her ten-year-old brother Scrooge started working as a shoe polisher in an effort to help support his family. At the time Hortense was merely an infant sucking on her thumb. She observed from a distance with her father and sister while her brother earned his Number One Dime. Scrooge continued working for the next couple years. In his leisure time he would spend some time with his younger sisters. He occasionally repaired their dolls. Otherwise Hortense spent most of her time clinging to her older sister.

By 1880, Scrooge had come to realise that his earnings were not enough despite his hard work and efforts. He took the decision of emigrating to the USA in hopes of earning his own fortune. He was hired as a cabinboy in a merchant ship heading to New Orleans, Louisiana. His family was there to see him depart. Scrooge noted that Hortense's "Goodbye, Scrooge" were her first spoken words. Though sad to see her brother leave, Hortense was obviously enjoying the rest of the family's attention.

From an early age it was obvious Hortense had a fairly nasty temper combined with considerable strength. Her brother continued to maintain correspondence with his parents and was also informed about this. In 1882, Scrooge was hired as a cowboy by Murdo MacKenzie. To do this he had to ride Widow Maker, a mare who had already managed to dispose of five other cowboys. Scrooge soon managed to become her rider although he never really managed to tame her. He renamed the horse Hortense after his spirited six-year-old sister. The latter found this idea unflattering at best.

In 1885 The Clan McDuck's hereditary lands were in danger of being seized due to her father being unable to pay taxes for them. The lands also included Dismal Downs, the Clan's Castle which had been abandoned since 1675 . The Whiskervilles, traditional enemies of the McDucks since the 15th century planned to gain ownership of the lands and were already trying to plunder the castle and its graveyard in search of old relics and treasure. Fergus and Jake started guarding the Castle in order to stop them. Nine-year-old Hortense offered to help them and proved more effective in conflict than either of the elder McDucks. The Whiskervilles began to fear her.

In 1902 Scrooge McDuck returned to Scotland to fetch Hortense and their sister Matilda McDuck. When Scrooge established Duckburg, Calisota, United States as his homebase he started journeying the world trying to expand his financial empire. From 1902 till 1930 his sisters ran his empire from his homebase while he was away. During these years she met her boyfriend Quackmore Duck whom she married on 1920 . Later the same year she gave birth to twins. Her son was named Donald Duck and her daughter Della Thelma Duck. Of the two only the boy inherited his mother's temper. A fight with Scrooge in 1930 ended all relationships between him and his family and she retired. She was thought deceased by 1948, because in this year Scrooge claimed he was the last McDuck. However, Matilda has since turned up alive and well, in a story by Don Rosa. There she also refers to Hortense, though she is not seen.

Lurch McDuck

Lurch McDuck, also known as Sheik Beak, is Scrooge McDuck's cousin in the 1968 story "The Doony Desert Dilemma" Vic Lockman and Tony Strobl . An imposter calling himself "Lurch Duck" and claiming to be Scrooge's long-lost cousin attempts to defraud Scrooge of half his fortune. [http://nafsk.se/pipermail/dcml/2003-September.txt]

Matilda McDuck

Matilda McDuck is one of Scrooge McDuck's two sisters. She was first mentioned in Carl Barks' 1950s sketch for a Duck Family Tree, where she was shown to have adopted Gladstone Gander [http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/ducktrees/barks.html Carl Barks' Duck Family Trees] ] . The Matilda McDuck character was dropped in Barks' 1991 Duck Family Tree sketch (where Gladstone Gander is the biological grandson of Grandma Duck and not related to Scrooge), but Don Rosa picked up the name, and used Matilda McDuck as a prominent character in "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck".

Matilda McDuck was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1871 to Fergus McDuck and Downy O'Drake. She is the younger sister of Scrooge McDuck. She would have a younger sister named Hortense McDuck.

In contrast to Scrooge's and Hortense's fiery tempers, she was always amazingly calm. In 1902 Scrooge returned to Scotland and took both of his sisters with him to go to America. When he established his base in Duckburg, Calisota, United States he left Matilda and Hortense to run his empire from 1902 to 1930. In the meantime he traveled the world expanding his financial empire. In 1930, a conflict with Scrooge ended all relationships between him and his family, and his sisters are believed to have left DuckburgDon Rosa: "The Richest Duck in the World" (chapter 11 of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"). First published 1994 ( [http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+93288 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry] )] .

In the story "The Old Castle's Other Secret or A Letter From Home" (2004), Don Rosa used Matilda McDuck in a non-"Life and Times" story for the first time. In this story, it is shown that she was hired by her nephew Donald Duck (son of Hortense) to tend the McDuck castle in Scotland. The story shows the reconciliation between Matilda and Scrooge. It is suggested that Donald deliberately set them up for a reunion. Unfortunately, he did not get the thanks he expected. This is the first time Huey, Dewey and Louie met their great aunt. In that story, Scrooge returns to the McDuck Castle for another treasure and learns from Matilda that his family already knew about the treasure but their father Fergus decided not to tell Scrooge about it. Both Scrooge and Matilda thought that was because of Fergus' disapproval of Scrooge's greedy ways but after finding a letter on the way for the treasure (hence the other title "A Letter from Home") they learn Fergus's real motive was the fact he thought Scrooge would feel better building his own fortune instead of simply inheriting one.

Matilda, while trying to leave the castle, mentions Hortense. However, in the commentary in the American printing of the story, Don Rosa states that he was prevented from using Hortense because he would have had to explain why she had abandoned her family. So Hortense's fate is still left as a mystery.

Matilda is usually drawn with a flower on her hat, which loses a petal in each panel she appears in.

Don Rosa has suggested that Matilda McDuck could have married the well-known Disney character Ludwig von Drake [Don Rosa: "How the Duck Family Tree was grown" (1995). Article in "Walt Disney's Comics" #600] . This theory is well known among fans, but has never been shown in any story.
