Established on May 23, 1845, the NYPD is one of the oldest police departments in the United States, and is the largest police force in the United States.[7] The NYPD headquarters is at 1 Police Plaza, located on Park Row in Lower Manhattan near City Hall. The NYPD's regulations are compiled in title 38 of the New York City Rules. The NYC Transit Police and NYC Housing Authority Police Department were fully integrated into the NYPD in 1995.[8] Dedicated units of the NYPD include the Emergency Service Unit, K9, harbor patrol, air support, bomb squad, counter-terrorism, criminal intelligence, anti-organized crime, narcotics, public transportation, and public housing units. The NYPD employs around 55,000 people, including almost 35,000 uniformed officers.[9][10] According to the official CompStat database, the NYPD responded to nearly 500,000 reports of crime and made over 200,000 arrests during 2019.[11][12] In 2020, it had a budget of US$6 billion.[1] The NYPD has a history of police brutality, corruption, and discrimination on the basis of race, religion and sexuality, which critics argue persists to the present.[13][14][15] Due to its high-profile location in the largest city and media center in the United States, fictionalized versions of the NYPD and its officers have frequently been portrayed in novels, radio, television, motion pictures, and video games.

Mayor William Havemeyer shepherded the NYPD together.[16] In 1857, it was replaced by a metropolitan force. The NYPD appointed its first black officer in 1911 and the first female officers in 1918.[17] In the mid-1980s, NYPD began to police street-level drug markets much more intensively, leading to a sharp increase in incarceration.[18] In 1992, Mayor David Dinkins created an independent Civilian Complaint Review Board for the NYPD. In response to this, some NYPD officers violently protested[19][20] and rioted.[21] They blocked traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge, demonstrated at City Hall and shouted racial epithets.[19][21] The protests were sponsored by the NYPD union.[19] In 1994 the NYPD developed the CompStat computer system for tracking crime geographically, which is now in use by other police departments in the US and Canada.[22] Research is mixed on whether CompStat had an impact on crime rates.[23][24] The New York City Transit Police and the New York City Housing Authority Police Department were merged into the NYPD in 1995.[8] In 2021, the NYPD ended the law enforcement of previous marijuana crimes other than driving under the influence.[25] Demographics As of July 2020, the NYPD's current authorized uniformed strength is 35,783.[26] There are also 19,454 civilian employees, including approximately 4,500 auxiliary police officers, 5,500 school safety agents, and 3,500 traffic enforcement agents currently employed by the department. The Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York (NYC PBA), the largest municipal police union in the United States, represents over 50,000 active and retired NYC police officers. Of the entire 35,783-member police force in 2020: 47% are white and 53% are members of minority groups. Of 23,464 officers on patrol: 43% (10,162) are non-Hispanic white 57% (13,302) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 5,289 detectives: 52% (2,771) are non-Hispanic white 48% (2,518) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 4,550 sergeants: 52% (2,379) are non-Hispanic white 48% (2,171) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 1,706 lieutenants: 59% (1,014) are non-Hispanic white 41% (692) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 355 captains: 62% (219) are non-Hispanic white 38% (136) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 14 police chiefs: 57% (8) are non-Hispanic white and 43% (6) are non-white. Women in the NYPD See also: Women in policing in the United States The highest ranked woman in the NYPD history is Juanita N. Holmes who has been Chief of Patrol Bureau since 2020. Services The NYPD has a broad array of specialized services, including the Emergency Service Unit, K9, harbor patrol, air support, bomb squad, counter-terrorism, criminal intelligence, anti-gang, anti-organized crime, narcotics, public transportation, and public housing units. The NYPD Intelligence Division & Counter-Terrorism Bureau has officers stationed in eleven cities internationally.[27][28] In 2019 the NYPD responded to 482,337 reports of crime, and made 214,617 arrests.[11] There were 95,606 major felonies reported in 2019, compared to over half a million per year when crime in New York City peaked during the crack epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s.[29] Reported Number of Major Felony Offences Crime 1990 2000 2010 2019 Murder 2,262 673 536 319 Rape 3,126 2,068 1,373 1,755 Robbery 100,280 32,562 19,486 13,371 Assault 44,122 25,924 16,956 20,696 Burglary 122,055 38,352 18,600 10,783 Larceny 108,487 49,631 37,835 43,250 Auto Theft 146,925 35,442 10,329 5,430 Total 527,257 184,652 105,115 95,606 The definition of rape was widened at the federal level in 2013[30] Rank structure

For the first 18 months of their careers, they are designated as "Probationary Police Officers", or more informally, "rookies".
There are three career "tracks" in the NYPD: supervisory, investigative, and specialist. The supervisory track consists of nine ranks; promotion to the ranks of sergeant, lieutenant, and captain are made via competitive civil service examinations. After reaching the rank of captain, promotion to the ranks of deputy inspector, inspector, deputy chief, assistant chief, (bureau) chief and chief of department is at the discretion of the police commissioner. Promotion from the rank of police officer to detective is discretionary by the police commissioner or required by law when the officer has performed eighteen months or more of investigative duty.
Badges Badges in the New York City Police Department are referred to as "shields" (the traditional term), though not all badge designs are strictly shield-shaped. Some officers have used "Pottsy" badges, "dupes," or duplicate badges, as officers are punished for losing their shield by also losing up to ten days' pay.[31]
Every rank has a different badge design (with the exception of "police officer" and "probationary police officer") and, upon change in rank, officers receive a new badge. Lower-ranked police officers are identified by their shield numbers, and tax registry number. Lieutenants and above do not have shield numbers and are identified by tax registry number. All sworn members of the NYPD have their ID card photos taken against a red background. Civilian employees of the NYPD have their ID card photos taken against a blue background, signifying that they are not commissioned to carry a firearm. All ID cards have an expiration date.

1 Police Plaza, NYPD headquarters The Department is administered and governed by the Police Commissioner, who is appointed by the mayor. Technically, the Commissioner serves a five-year term; as a practical matter, they serve at the mayor's pleasure. The commissioner in turn appoints numerous deputy commissioners. By default, the commissioner and their subordinate deputies are civilians under an oath of office and are not sworn officers. However, a commissioner who comes up from the sworn ranks retains the status and statutory powers of a police officer while serving as commissioner. This affects their police pensions, and their ability to carry a firearm without a pistol permit. Some police commissioners carry a personal firearm, but they also have a full-time security detail.
Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners are administrators who specialize in areas of great importance to the Department, such as counterterrorism, support services, public information, legal matters, intelligence, and information technology. However, as civilian administrators, deputy commissioners are prohibited from taking operational control of a police situation (the Commissioner and the first deputy commissioner may take control of these situations, however). Within the rank structure, there are also designations, known as "grades", that connote differences in duties, experience, and pay. However, supervisory functions are generally reserved for the rank of sergeant and above.
Office of the Chief of Department The Chief of Department serves as the senior sworn member of the NYPD. Rodney K. Harrison is the 41st individual to hold the post,[32][33] which prior to 1987 was known as the chief of operations and before that as chief inspector.[34]
Bureaus
This article is in list format, but may read better as prose. You can help by converting this article, if appropriate. Editing help is available. (January 2019) The Department is divided into twenty bureaus,[35] which are typically commanded by a uniformed bureau chief (such as the chief of patrol and the chief of housing) or a civilian deputy commissioner (such as the Deputy Commissioner of Information Technology). The bureaus fit under four umbrellas: Patrol, Transit & Housing, Investigative, and Administrative. Bureaus are often subdivided into smaller divisions and units.
Bureau Commander Description Subdivisions Patrol Services Bureau Chief of Patrol Oversees the majority of the NYPD's uniformed patrol officers Eight borough commands, each headed by an assistant chief, which are further divided into 77 police precincts, commanded by a captain or inspector Special Operations Bureau Chief of Special Operations Manages NYPD responses to major events and incidents that require specifically trained and equipped personnel Emergency Service Unit, Aviation Unit, Harbor Unit, Mounted Unit, Strategic Response Group, Crisis Outreach and Support Unit Transit Bureau Chief of Transit Oversees NYPD transit officers in the New York City Subway Twelve transit districts, each located within or adjacent to the subway system, and overseen by three borough commands: Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Bronx/Queens Specialized units within the Transit Bureau include Borough Task Forces, Anti-Terrorism Unit, Citywide Vandals Task Force, Canine Unit, Special Projects Unit, and MetroCard Fraud Task Force

The NYPD has extensive crime scene investigation and laboratory resources, as well as units that assist with computer crime investigations. In 2005, the NYPD established a "Real Time Crime Center" to assist in investigations;[38] this is essentially a searchable database the pulls information from departmental records, including traffic tickets, court summonses, and previous complaints to reports,[39] as well as arrest reports.[38] The database contains databases to identify individuals based on tattoos, body marks, teeth, and skin conditions, based on police records.[38]
NYPD also maintains the Domain Awareness System, a network that provides information and analytics to police, drawn from a variety of sources, including a network of 9,000 publicly and privately owned surveillance cameras, license plate readers, ShotSpotter data, NYPD databases and radiation and chemical sensors.[40] The Domain Awareness System of surveillance was developed as part of Lower Manhattan Security Initiative in a partnership between the NYPD and Microsoft.[41] It allows the NYPD to track surveillance targets and gain detailed information about them. It also has access to data from at least 2 billion license plate readings, 100 million summonses, 54 million 911 calls, 15 million complaints, 12 million detective reports, 11 million arrests and 2 million warrants. The data from the 9,000 CCTV cameras is kept for 30 days. Text records are searchable. The system is connected to 9,000 video cameras around New York City.[42]
In 2020, the NYPD deployed a robotic dog, known as Digidog, manufactured by Boston Dynamics.[43] The robotic dog has cameras which send back real-time footage along with lights and two-way communication, and it is able to navigate on its own using artificial intelligence.[44][45][46][47] Reaction by locals to Digidog was mixed.[48] Deployment of Digidog led to condemnation from the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project and the American Civil Liberties Union due to privacy concerns.[47][48] In response to its deployment, a city councilmember has proposed a law banning armed robots; this would not apply to Digidog as Digidog is not armed and Boston Dynamics prohibits arming of its robots.[48] On April 24, 2021, U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres proposed new federal legislation requiring police departments receiving federal funds to report use of surveillance technology to the Department of Homeland Security and Congress.[47] The NYPD states that the robot is meant for hostage, terrorism, bomb threat, and hazardous material situations, and that it was properly disclosed to the public under current law.[47] Following continued push back against Digidog, including opposition to the system's $94,000 price tag, the NYPD announced on April 28, 2021 that its lease would be terminated.[49]
Public opinion
Public approval of the NYPD over time The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute has been regularly measuring public opinion of the NYPD since 1997, when just under 50% of the public approved of the job the NYPD were doing. Approval peaked at 78% in 2002 following the World Trade Center terrorist attacks in September 2001, and has ranged between 52 and 72% since.[50]
Approval varies by race/ethnicity, with black and Hispanic respondents consistently less likely to say they approve of the job the NYPD are doing than whites.[50]
In 2017 the Quinnipiac poll found that New York City voters approve of the way NYPD, in general, does its job by a margin of 67-25%. Approval was 79-15 percent among white voters, 52-37 percent among black voters, and 73-24 percent among Hispanic voters. 86% of voters said crime is a serious problem, 71% said police brutality is a serious problem and 61% said police corruption is a serious problem.[51]
A 2020 poll commissioned by Manhattan Institute for Policy Research reported that the public approve of the NYPD 53% to 40% against, again with strong racial differences: 59% of whites and Asians approved, as did 51% of Hispanics, whereas 51% of black residents disapproved.[52]
Corruption and misconduct Main article: New York City Police Department corruption and misconduct The NYPD has a history of police brutality, misconduct, and corruption, as well as discrimination on the basis of race, religion and sexuality.[14][53][54][55][13][56] Critics, including from within the NYPD, have accused the NYPD of manipulating crime statistics.[57][58] In 2009, NYPD officer Adrian Schoolcraft was arrested, abducted by his fellow officers and involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital after he provided evidence of manipulation of crime statistics (intentional under reporting of crimes) and intentional wrongful arrests (to meet arrest quotas). He filed a federal suit against the department, which the city settled before trial in 2015, also giving him back pay for the period when he was suspended.[59][60]
The Knapp Commission found in 1970 that the NYPD had systematic corruption problems.[61]
The Civilian Complaint Review Board is an all-civilian, 13-member panel tasked with investigating misconduct or lesser abuse accusations against NYPD officers, including use of excessive force, abuse of authority, discourtesy and offensive language. Complaints against officers may be filed online, by mail, by phone or in person at any NYPD station.[62] On June 8, 2020, both houses of the New York state assembly passed the Eric Garner Anti-Chokehold Act, which provides that any police officer in the state of New York who injures or kills somebody through the use of "a chokehold or similar restraint" can be charged with a class C felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.[63] New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the police reforms into law on June 12, 2020, which he described as "long overdue."[64][63]
During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, many NYPD officers refused to wear face masks while policing protests related to racial injustice, contrary to the recommendations of health experts and authorities.[65] During the George Floyd protests, The New York Times reported that more than 60 videos showed NYPD police attacking protesters, many of whom were attacked without cause.[66] Included in these attacks were the 'kettling' of protesters,[67] an officer removing the mask of a protester and pepper spraying him,[68] and an incident where police vehicles were driven into a crowd.[69] An investigation by New York Cityâs Department of Investigation concluded that the NYPD had exercised excessive force during the George Floyd protests.[70]
According to a 2021 FiveThirtyEight analysis, New York City spent at least an average of $170 million annually in settlements related to police misconduct over a ten-year period.[71]
Affiliations The NYPD is affiliated with the New York City Police Foundation and the New York City Police Museum. It also runs a Youth Police academy to provide a positive interaction with police officers and to educate young people about the challenges and responsibility of police work. The department also operates the Citizens Police Academy, which educates the public on basic law and policing procedures.
Fallen officers According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, the NYPD has lost 932 officers in the line of duty since 1849. This figure includes officers from agencies that were later absorbed by or became a part of the modern NYPD, in addition to the NYPD itself. This number also includes 28 officers killed on and off duty by gunfire of other officers on duty. 286 officers have been shot and killed by a criminal.[72] The NYPD lost 23 officers in the September 11, 2001 attacks, not including another 247 who later died of 9/11-related illnesses.[73] 8 NYPD officers died from COVID-19.[74] The NYPD has more line of duty deaths than any other American law enforcement agency.[75]
Vehicles Main article: Police vehicles in New York City
NYPD Ford Fusion The New York City Police Department vehicle fleet consists of 9,624 police cars, 11 boats, eight helicopters, and numerous other vehicles.[76] Responsibility of operation and maintenance lies with the NYPD's Support Services Bureau.
The current colors of NYPD vehicles is an all-white body with two blue stripes along each side. The word "POLICE" is printed in small text above the front wheel wells, and as "NYPD Police" above the front grille. The NYPD patch is emblazoned on both sides, either on or just forward of the front doors. The letters "NYPD" are printed in blue Rockwell Extra Bold font on the front doors, and the NYPD motto "Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect" is printed on the rear ones. The unit's shop number is printed on the rear decklid. The shop number is also printed on the rear side panels above the gas intake, along with the number of the unit's assigned precinct.
A modified paint scheme, with dark blue (or black, for some Auxiliary units) body and white stripes on the sides was used for some divisions. The text was also white. This was phased out in favor of a modified version of the regular scheme, with the word(s) "AUXILIARY", "SCHOOL SAFETY" or "TRAFFIC" on the rear quarter panels and trunk.
Firearms On duty New NYPD officers are allowed to choose from one of three 9mm service pistols: the SIG Sauer P226 DAO (Double Action Only), Glock 17 Gen4, and Glock 19 Gen4.[77] All duty handguns are modified to a 12-pound (53 N) NY-2 trigger pull.
The Smith & Wesson 5946 was issued to new recruits in the past;[78] however, the pistol has been discontinued.[79] While it is no longer an option for new hires, officers who were issued the weapon may continue to use it.
Shotgun-certified officers were authorized to carry Ithaca 37 shotguns, which are being phased out in favor of the newer Mossberg 590. Officers and detectives belonging to the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit, Counter-terrorism Bureau and Strategic Response Group are armed with a range of select-fire weapons and long guns, such as the Colt M4A1 carbine and similar-pattern Colt AR-15 rifles, Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun, and the Remington Model 700 bolt-action rifle.[80]
Off duty The firearms approved by the NYPD for off-duty carry are the Glock 26, Smith & Wesson 3914 DAO, Smith & Wesson 3953TSW, Smith & Wesson Model 640 (.38 revolver), Springfield Armory XD-S, Sig Sauer P365, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield and the Beretta 8000D Mini Cougar.[citation needed]
Discontinued from service From 1926 until 1986 the standard weapons of the department were the Smith & Wesson Model 10 and the Colt Official Police .38 Special revolvers with four-inch barrels. Female officers had the option to choose to carry a three-inch barrel revolver instead of the normal four-inch model due to its lighter weight. Prior to 1994, the standard weapon of the NYPD was the Smith & Wesson Model 64 DAO a .38 Special revolver with a three- or four-inch barrel and the Ruger Police Service Six with a four-inch barrel. This type of revolver was called the Model NY-1 by the department. After the switch in 1994 to semiautomatic pistols, officers who privately purchased revolvers before January 1, 1994, were allowed to use them for duty use until August 31, 2018. They were grandfathered in as approved off-duty guns.[77]
Prior to the issuing of the 9mm semi-automatic pistol NYPD detectives and plainclothes officers often carried the Colt Detective Special and/or the Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chief's Special" .38 Special caliber snub-nosed (2-inch) barrel revolvers for their ease of concealment while dressed in civilian clothes.
The Kahr K9 9 mm pistol was an approved off-duty/backup weapon from 1998 to 2011. It was pulled from service because it could not be modified to a 12-pound trigger pull.

Established on May 23, 1845, the NYPD is one of the oldest police departments in the United States, and is the largest police force in the United States.[7] The NYPD headquarters is at 1 Police Plaza, located on Park Row in Lower Manhattan near City Hall. The NYPD's regulations are compiled in title 38 of the New York City Rules. The NYC Transit Police and NYC Housing Authority Police Department were fully integrated into the NYPD in 1995.[8] Dedicated units of the NYPD include the Emergency Service Unit, K9, harbor patrol, air support, bomb squad, counter-terrorism, criminal intelligence, anti-organized crime, narcotics, public transportation, and public housing units. The NYPD employs around 55,000 people, including almost 35,000 uniformed officers.[9][10] According to the official CompStat database, the NYPD responded to nearly 500,000 reports of crime and made over 200,000 arrests during 2019.[11][12] In 2020, it had a budget of US$6 billion.[1] The NYPD has a history of police brutality, corruption, and discrimination on the basis of race, religion and sexuality, which critics argue persists to the present.[13][14][15] Due to its high-profile location in the largest city and media center in the United States, fictionalized versions of the NYPD and its officers have frequently been portrayed in novels, radio, television, motion pictures, and video games.

Mayor William Havemeyer shepherded the NYPD together.[16] In 1857, it was replaced by a metropolitan force. The NYPD appointed its first black officer in 1911 and the first female officers in 1918.[17] In the mid-1980s, NYPD began to police street-level drug markets much more intensively, leading to a sharp increase in incarceration.[18] In 1992, Mayor David Dinkins created an independent Civilian Complaint Review Board for the NYPD. In response to this, some NYPD officers violently protested[19][20] and rioted.[21] They blocked traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge, demonstrated at City Hall and shouted racial epithets.[19][21] The protests were sponsored by the NYPD union.[19] In 1994 the NYPD developed the CompStat computer system for tracking crime geographically, which is now in use by other police departments in the US and Canada.[22] Research is mixed on whether CompStat had an impact on crime rates.[23][24] The New York City Transit Police and the New York City Housing Authority Police Department were merged into the NYPD in 1995.[8] In 2021, the NYPD ended the law enforcement of previous marijuana crimes other than driving under the influence.[25] Demographics As of July 2020, the NYPD's current authorized uniformed strength is 35,783.[26] There are also 19,454 civilian employees, including approximately 4,500 auxiliary police officers, 5,500 school safety agents, and 3,500 traffic enforcement agents currently employed by the department. The Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York (NYC PBA), the largest municipal police union in the United States, represents over 50,000 active and retired NYC police officers. Of the entire 35,783-member police force in 2020: 47% are white and 53% are members of minority groups. Of 23,464 officers on patrol: 43% (10,162) are non-Hispanic white 57% (13,302) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 5,289 detectives: 52% (2,771) are non-Hispanic white 48% (2,518) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 4,550 sergeants: 52% (2,379) are non-Hispanic white 48% (2,171) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 1,706 lieutenants: 59% (1,014) are non-Hispanic white 41% (692) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 355 captains: 62% (219) are non-Hispanic white 38% (136) are Black, Latino (of any race), or Asian or Asian-American. Of 14 police chiefs: 57% (8) are non-Hispanic white and 43% (6) are non-white. Women in the NYPD See also: Women in policing in the United States The highest ranked woman in the NYPD history is Juanita N. Holmes who has been Chief of Patrol Bureau since 2020. Services The NYPD has a broad array of specialized services, including the Emergency Service Unit, K9, harbor patrol, air support, bomb squad, counter-terrorism, criminal intelligence, anti-gang, anti-organized crime, narcotics, public transportation, and public housing units. The NYPD Intelligence Division & Counter-Terrorism Bureau has officers stationed in eleven cities internationally.[27][28] In 2019 the NYPD responded to 482,337 reports of crime, and made 214,617 arrests.[11] There were 95,606 major felonies reported in 2019, compared to over half a million per year when crime in New York City peaked during the crack epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s.[29] Reported Number of Major Felony Offences Crime 1990 2000 2010 2019 Murder 2,262 673 536 319 Rape 3,126 2,068 1,373 1,755 Robbery 100,280 32,562 19,486 13,371 Assault 44,122 25,924 16,956 20,696 Burglary 122,055 38,352 18,600 10,783 Larceny 108,487 49,631 37,835 43,250 Auto Theft 146,925 35,442 10,329 5,430 Total 527,257 184,652 105,115 95,606 The definition of rape was widened at the federal level in 2013[30] Rank structure

For the first 18 months of their careers, they are designated as "Probationary Police Officers", or more informally, "rookies".
There are three career "tracks" in the NYPD: supervisory, investigative, and specialist. The supervisory track consists of nine ranks; promotion to the ranks of sergeant, lieutenant, and captain are made via competitive civil service examinations. After reaching the rank of captain, promotion to the ranks of deputy inspector, inspector, deputy chief, assistant chief, (bureau) chief and chief of department is at the discretion of the police commissioner. Promotion from the rank of police officer to detective is discretionary by the police commissioner or required by law when the officer has performed eighteen months or more of investigative duty.
Badges Badges in the New York City Police Department are referred to as "shields" (the traditional term), though not all badge designs are strictly shield-shaped. Some officers have used "Pottsy" badges, "dupes," or duplicate badges, as officers are punished for losing their shield by also losing up to ten days' pay.[31]
Every rank has a different badge design (with the exception of "police officer" and "probationary police officer") and, upon change in rank, officers receive a new badge. Lower-ranked police officers are identified by their shield numbers, and tax registry number. Lieutenants and above do not have shield numbers and are identified by tax registry number. All sworn members of the NYPD have their ID card photos taken against a red background. Civilian employees of the NYPD have their ID card photos taken against a blue background, signifying that they are not commissioned to carry a firearm. All ID cards have an expiration date.

1 Police Plaza, NYPD headquarters The Department is administered and governed by the Police Commissioner, who is appointed by the mayor. Technically, the Commissioner serves a five-year term; as a practical matter, they serve at the mayor's pleasure. The commissioner in turn appoints numerous deputy commissioners. By default, the commissioner and their subordinate deputies are civilians under an oath of office and are not sworn officers. However, a commissioner who comes up from the sworn ranks retains the status and statutory powers of a police officer while serving as commissioner. This affects their police pensions, and their ability to carry a firearm without a pistol permit. Some police commissioners carry a personal firearm, but they also have a full-time security detail.
Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners are administrators who specialize in areas of great importance to the Department, such as counterterrorism, support services, public information, legal matters, intelligence, and information technology. However, as civilian administrators, deputy commissioners are prohibited from taking operational control of a police situation (the Commissioner and the first deputy commissioner may take control of these situations, however). Within the rank structure, there are also designations, known as "grades", that connote differences in duties, experience, and pay. However, supervisory functions are generally reserved for the rank of sergeant and above.
Office of the Chief of Department The Chief of Department serves as the senior sworn member of the NYPD. Rodney K. Harrison is the 41st individual to hold the post,[32][33] which prior to 1987 was known as the chief of operations and before that as chief inspector.[34]
Bureaus
This article is in list format, but may read better as prose. You can help by converting this article, if appropriate. Editing help is available. (January 2019) The Department is divided into twenty bureaus,[35] which are typically commanded by a uniformed bureau chief (such as the chief of patrol and the chief of housing) or a civilian deputy commissioner (such as the Deputy Commissioner of Information Technology). The bureaus fit under four umbrellas: Patrol, Transit & Housing, Investigative, and Administrative. Bureaus are often subdivided into smaller divisions and units.

The NYPD has extensive crime scene investigation and laboratory resources, as well as units that assist with computer crime investigations. In 2005, the NYPD established a "Real Time Crime Center" to assist in investigations;[38] this is essentially a searchable database the pulls information from departmental records, including traffic tickets, court summonses, and previous complaints to reports,[39] as well as arrest reports.[38] The database contains databases to identify individuals based on tattoos, body marks, teeth, and skin conditions, based on police records.[38]
NYPD also maintains the Domain Awareness System, a network that provides information and analytics to police, drawn from a variety of sources, including a network of 9,000 publicly and privately owned surveillance cameras, license plate readers, ShotSpotter data, NYPD databases and radiation and chemical sensors.[40] The Domain Awareness System of surveillance was developed as part of Lower Manhattan Security Initiative in a partnership between the NYPD and Microsoft.[41] It allows the NYPD to track surveillance targets and gain detailed information about them. It also has access to data from at least 2 billion license plate readings, 100 million summonses, 54 million 911 calls, 15 million complaints, 12 million detective reports, 11 million arrests and 2 million warrants. The data from the 9,000 CCTV cameras is kept for 30 days. Text records are searchable. The system is connected to 9,000 video cameras around New York City.[42]
In 2020, the NYPD deployed a robotic dog, known as Digidog, manufactured by Boston Dynamics.[43] The robotic dog has cameras which send back real-time footage along with lights and two-way communication, and it is able to navigate on its own using artificial intelligence.[44][45][46][47] Reaction by locals to Digidog was mixed.[48] Deployment of Digidog led to condemnation from the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project and the American Civil Liberties Union due to privacy concerns.[47][48] In response to its deployment, a city councilmember has proposed a law banning armed robots; this would not apply to Digidog as Digidog is not armed and Boston Dynamics prohibits arming of its robots.[48] On April 24, 2021, U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres proposed new federal legislation requiring police departments receiving federal funds to report use of surveillance technology to the Department of Homeland Security and Congress.[47] The NYPD states that the robot is meant for hostage, terrorism, bomb threat, and hazardous material situations, and that it was properly disclosed to the public under current law.[47] Following continued push back against Digidog, including opposition to the system's $94,000 price tag, the NYPD announced on April 28, 2021 that its lease would be terminated.[49]
Public opinion
Public approval of the NYPD over time The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute has been regularly measuring public opinion of the NYPD since 1997, when just under 50% of the public approved of the job the NYPD were doing. Approval peaked at 78% in 2002 following the World Trade Center terrorist attacks in September 2001, and has ranged between 52 and 72% since.[50]
Approval varies by race/ethnicity, with black and Hispanic respondents consistently less likely to say they approve of the job the NYPD are doing than whites.[50]
In 2017 the Quinnipiac poll found that New York City voters approve of the way NYPD, in general, does its job by a margin of 67-25%. Approval was 79-15 percent among white voters, 52-37 percent among black voters, and 73-24 percent among Hispanic voters. 86% of voters said crime is a serious problem, 71% said police brutality is a serious problem and 61% said police corruption is a serious problem.[51]
A 2020 poll commissioned by Manhattan Institute for Policy Research reported that the public approve of the NYPD 53% to 40% against, again with strong racial differences: 59% of whites and Asians approved, as did 51% of Hispanics, whereas 51% of black residents disapproved.[52]
Corruption and misconduct Main article: New York City Police Department corruption and misconduct The NYPD has a history of police brutality, misconduct, and corruption, as well as discrimination on the basis of race, religion and sexuality.[14][53][54][55][13][56] Critics, including from within the NYPD, have accused the NYPD of manipulating crime statistics.[57][58] In 2009, NYPD officer Adrian Schoolcraft was arrested, abducted by his fellow officers and involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital after he provided evidence of manipulation of crime statistics (intentional under reporting of crimes) and intentional wrongful arrests (to meet arrest quotas). He filed a federal suit against the department, which the city settled before trial in 2015, also giving him back pay for the period when he was suspended.[59][60]
The Knapp Commission found in 1970 that the NYPD had systematic corruption problems.[61]
The Civilian Complaint Review Board is an all-civilian, 13-member panel tasked with investigating misconduct or lesser abuse accusations against NYPD officers, including use of excessive force, abuse of authority, discourtesy and offensive language. Complaints against officers may be filed online, by mail, by phone or in person at any NYPD station.[62] On June 8, 2020, both houses of the New York state assembly passed the Eric Garner Anti-Chokehold Act, which provides that any police officer in the state of New York who injures or kills somebody through the use of "a chokehold or similar restraint" can be charged with a class C felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.[63] New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the police reforms into law on June 12, 2020, which he described as "long overdue."[64][63]
During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, many NYPD officers refused to wear face masks while policing protests related to racial injustice, contrary to the recommendations of health experts and authorities.[65] During the George Floyd protests, The New York Times reported that more than 60 videos showed NYPD police attacking protesters, many of whom were attacked without cause.[66] Included in these attacks were the 'kettling' of protesters,[67] an officer removing the mask of a protester and pepper spraying him,[68] and an incident where police vehicles were driven into a crowd.[69] An investigation by New York Cityâs Department of Investigation concluded that the NYPD had exercised excessive force during the George Floyd protests.[70]
According to a 2021 FiveThirtyEight analysis, New York City spent at least an average of $170 million annually in settlements related to police misconduct over a ten-year period.[71]
Affiliations The NYPD is affiliated with the New York City Police Foundation and the New York City Police Museum. It also runs a Youth Police academy to provide a positive interaction with police officers and to educate young people about the challenges and responsibility of police work. The department also operates the Citizens Police Academy, which educates the public on basic law and policing procedures.
Fallen officers According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, the NYPD has lost 932 officers in the line of duty since 1849. This figure includes officers from agencies that were later absorbed by or became a part of the modern NYPD, in addition to the NYPD itself. This number also includes 28 officers killed on and off duty by gunfire of other officers on duty. 286 officers have been shot and killed by a criminal.[72] The NYPD lost 23 officers in the September 11, 2001 attacks, not including another 247 who later died of 9/11-related illnesses.[73] 8 NYPD officers died from COVID-19.[74] The NYPD has more line of duty deaths than any other American law enforcement agency.[75]
Vehicles Main article: Police vehicles in New York City
NYPD Ford Fusion The New York City Police Department vehicle fleet consists of 9,624 police cars, 11 boats, eight helicopters, and numerous other vehicles.[76] Responsibility of operation and maintenance lies with the NYPD's Support Services Bureau.
The current colors of NYPD vehicles is an all-white body with two blue stripes along each side. The word "POLICE" is printed in small text above the front wheel wells, and as "NYPD Police" above the front grille. The NYPD patch is emblazoned on both sides, either on or just forward of the front doors. The letters "NYPD" are printed in blue Rockwell Extra Bold font on the front doors, and the NYPD motto "Courtesy, Professionalism, Respect" is printed on the rear ones. The unit's shop number is printed on the rear decklid. The shop number is also printed on the rear side panels above the gas intake, along with the number of the unit's assigned precinct.
A modified paint scheme, with dark blue (or black, for some Auxiliary units) body and white stripes on the sides was used for some divisions. The text was also white. This was phased out in favor of a modified version of the regular scheme, with the word(s) "AUXILIARY", "SCHOOL SAFETY" or "TRAFFIC" on the rear quarter panels and trunk.
Firearms On duty New NYPD officers are allowed to choose from one of three 9mm service pistols: the SIG Sauer P226 DAO (Double Action Only), Glock 17 Gen4, and Glock 19 Gen4.[77] All duty handguns are modified to a 12-pound (53 N) NY-2 trigger pull.
The Smith & Wesson 5946 was issued to new recruits in the past;[78] however, the pistol has been discontinued.[79] While it is no longer an option for new hires, officers who were issued the weapon may continue to use it.
Shotgun-certified officers were authorized to carry Ithaca 37 shotguns, which are being phased out in favor of the newer Mossberg 590. Officers and detectives belonging to the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit, Counter-terrorism Bureau and Strategic Response Group are armed with a range of select-fire weapons and long guns, such as the Colt M4A1 carbine and similar-pattern Colt AR-15 rifles, Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun, and the Remington Model 700 bolt-action rifle.[80]
Off duty The firearms approved by the NYPD for off-duty carry are the Glock 26, Smith & Wesson 3914 DAO, Smith & Wesson 3953TSW, Smith & Wesson Model 640 (.38 revolver), Springfield Armory XD-S, Sig Sauer P365, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield and the Beretta 8000D Mini Cougar.[citation needed]
Discontinued from service From 1926 until 1986 the standard weapons of the department were the Smith & Wesson Model 10 and the Colt Official Police .38 Special revolvers with four-inch barrels. Female officers had the option to choose to carry a three-inch barrel revolver instead of the normal four-inch model due to its lighter weight. Prior to 1994, the standard weapon of the NYPD was the Smith & Wesson Model 64 DAO a .38 Special revolver with a three- or four-inch barrel and the Ruger Police Service Six with a four-inch barrel. This type of revolver was called the Model NY-1 by the department. After the switch in 1994 to semiautomatic pistols, officers who privately purchased revolvers before January 1, 1994, were allowed to use them for duty use until August 31, 2018. They were grandfathered in as approved off-duty guns.[77]
Prior to the issuing of the 9mm semi-automatic pistol NYPD detectives and plainclothes officers often carried the Colt Detective Special and/or the Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chief's Special" .38 Special caliber snub-nosed (2-inch) barrel revolvers for their ease of concealment while dressed in civilian clothes.
The Kahr K9 9 mm pistol was an approved off-duty/backup weapon from 1998 to 2011. It was pulled from service because it could not be modified to a 12-pound trigger pull.

This is our Encyclopedia to the Universe that was created by American Duckman writer and artist Carl Barks, and that was continued by American writer / artist Don Rosa, and the TV series DuckTales.
This is a who's who and a what's what in Duckburg and in the entire world that is centered around the Barksian Ducks.
List will be growing over time. If you have any suggestions that you don't see here, please email them to us: number.one_dime@yahoo.com
It's going to take a while to build this list, so I ask for everyone's patience. Please check back for updates. Thank you.
And please allow a moment for this page to fully load, there is a lot here.
A April, May & June
Born in Duckburg about 1940, they First appeared in "Flip Decision / Flipism" from 1943. These ducklings were created by Carl Barks. Their mother is obviously a sister of Daisy Duck, but their father is unknown. Once, when Don Rosa was asked if the mother of April, May and June is Donna Duck who appeared in a few stories before Daisy had appeared, he said "that is a good idea." Also, according to Don Rosa, Huey, Dewey and Louie are their cousins. They attend School regularly, live in Duckburg, but they do not appear too often in the stories of either Carl Barks or Don Rosa.
Arpin LusĂšne: a.k.a. The Black Knight
He lives in his castle in Portofino on the French Riviere. First appearance: 1997 in The Black Knight. He also appears in Attaaaaaack! from 2000. Created by: Don Rosa. He is a French count and gentleman that lives a double life as a master thief. Member of The French aristocracy.
Nothing much is known about Arpine LusĂšne: a.k.a. "le chavalier noir" (the black knight). What is known is that he is a French count and gentleman that lives a double life as the famous master thief "le chavalier noir" who only steals from rich people.
B Barks, Carl
American Artist and author of the Duck Universe. Please CLICK HERE for more information about Mr. Barks.
Beagle, Blackheart
He apparantly lives together with the rest of the Beagle Boys in their headquarter in Duckburg. Born in the late 1800's, he died sometime after 1952 in Duckburg. His first appearance was 1957 in "The Fantastic River Race." He was created by Carl Barks. In "Lo$, part 10, The Invader of Fort Duckburg," Don Rosa shows a Grandma Beagle who was supposed to look after the Beagle's hideout when Blackheart and his sons stole cattle and other values. Blackheart has at least three sons, and his grandsons are Scrooge's most famous enemies. He was a river pirate-captain on a river-boat and thief.

He grew up in Duckburg, and probably returned there after his unsuccessful adventure in the Klondike. He was born around 1860 in Duckburg and died sometime before 1970. First appearance was in 1987 in Last sled to Dawson, Created by: Don Rosa. His father was Clinton Coot, and his mother was Gertrude Gadwall. Siblings: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot (sister). Spouse: Gretchen Grebe Children: Cuthbert Coot (son); Fanny Coot (daughter - the mother of Gus Goose). Other close relatives: Gus Goose (grandson). Occupation: We don't know more about him than that he was a gold prospector in the Klondike in the 1890s.
In the late 1890s he went to Klondike in search for gold. He didn't succeed, and the only reason he still could afford to buy his ticket back home to Duckburg was that he - in December 1899, sold the deed to Kill Mule Hill and Fort Duckburg (a total of 10 acres of land) for $200 to Scrooge McDuck, who also was in the Klondike by then. Kill Mule Hill, being in California, was the future site of the Money Bin, set dead in the middle of Duckburg.
Clinton Coot
He used to live in or near Duckburg, perhaps in the farm later owned by Grandma Duck. Born: Ca. 1830 in Duckburg? Died: Ca 1910 in Duckburg? First appearance: 1992, in Guardians of the Lost Library (mentioned by name). 1993, in Don Rosa's Duck Family Three. (picture). Created by: Don Rosa Father: Cornelius Coot Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Gertrude Gadwall Children: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot (daughter) Casey Coot (son) Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: Storekeeper at Coot's Emporium. He also became the founder of the Junior Woodchucks.
When Don Rosa created Clinton Coot he named him after the president of the USA at that time (Bill Clinton).
Clinton Coot was born ca. 1830 in Duckburg? In A little something special Don Rosa shows that Clinton Coot during the second half of the 19th century, ran his own store called "Coot's Emporium". From there he sold ice-cream, etc.
Clinton Coot was very interested in the nature - an interest probably inherited from his mother who Don Rosa says probably was an Indian squaw, and in science. He also learned very much from a book he once got from his father Cornelius Coot, who once found the book in a tight box in a secret room beneath Fort Duckburg.
In 1901 he founded The Junior Woodchucks organisation to promote his interests for the nature and to ensure that the book ended up in safe hands after his death. The organisation was named after the Woodchuck militia which was disbanded shortly before. Like the old militia The Junior Woodchucks were supposed to use Fort Duckburg as their headquarters.
Cornelius Coot (Founder of Duckburg)
Since 1818 he used to live in or near Duckburg, perhaps in the farm later owned by Grandma Duck. It is still unknown where he lived before his arrival to Duckburg in 1818, but since he was a hunter, he may have moved around a bit. Born: Ca. 1790 in ? Died: 1880 in Duckburg? First appearance: 1952, in Statuesque Spendthrifts. Created by: Carl Barks Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown Children: Clinton Coot (son) Other close relatives: The Coot Kin Occupation: He used to be a hunter. Later he became the founder of Duckburg. Member of: He seems to have been a member (and perhaps the first leader) of the Woodchuck Militia.
In hope of doing a good trade with the British, Cornelius Coot - by then a hunter, arrived Fort Drake Borough in 1818. While staying in the fort the British garrison were attacked by Spanish troops who tried to conquer it. During the battle the British forces gave the fort over to Cornelius so that they could escape without risking to be sent back by their king. Afterwards Cornelius succeeded to frighten the Spanish troops away by a trickery with some popping popcorn. Shortly after he renamed the place "Duckburg". To defend the area from all kind of enemies he later founded the Woodchuck Militia.
There is as of yet not much known about what happened to Cornelius after this. In The Day Duckburg Got Dyed / Gyro's Super-Dye Carl Barks tell us that once Cornelius Coot piped mountain water to Duckburg, and in Guardians of the Lost Library, Don Rosa shows that Cornelius also revealed the secrets of the fort - like the secret room with the lost library. There he found the box that contained the essence of the ancient library of Alexandria. At some later point he passed that stuff overt to his son Clinton Coot.
There are yet not much known about Cornelius Coot's origin. What is known though, is that the Coots had already been in America for a long time at the time of Cornelius Coot. The first Coots in America probably came over on the Mayflower or to Jamestown. Don Rosa has once described the Coots as "melting-pot" American.
Twice, in Statuesque Spendthrifts from 1952 and in The Day Duckburg Got Dyed / Gyro's Super-Dye from 1957 Barks shows that the city of Duckburg still honour his memory by erecting monuments.
When asked why he did not give Cornelius Coot a wife in his Duck Family Tree, Don Rosa says: "I treated Cornelius the same way as the early ancestors on all 3 Trees. Notice that only the characters who appear in the upper branches have fully defined family relationships, and there is no room left for additions. The characters shown on the trunk are simply ancestors and there are many other possible relatives in those areas. Still, I don't think there were any other sons or daughters of Cornelius other than Clinton. And in American pioneer spirit, I'd say that the wife that Cornelius took was probably an Indian squaw... and I doubt if they were married."
D Daisy Duck
Address: She lives in a house in Duckburg. Born: Ca. 1920 in Duckburg? Died: ? First appearance: November 4, 1940 in the Donald Duck daily strip. In the 1937 cartoon Don Donald there was a Donna Duck who was very similar to Daisy Created by: Al Taliaferro Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: A sister who is the mother of April, May and June. A brother who according to Don Rosa, is the father of Huey, Dewey and Louie. Spouse: None. She dates Donald Duck. Children: None Other close relatives: April, May and June Duck (nieces), Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (nephews), Matilda and Drusilla (aunts). Occupation: Unknown Member of: A ladies-club in Duckburg. Drives: She is normally transported by Donald or Gladstone.
Born ca. 1920 in Duckburg? We don't know much about her family, but Barks has mentioned two aunts of her Matilda and Drusilla and then that she has a sister who is the mother of her three nieces April, May and June.
As Don Rosa sees it she also has a brother who is the father of Huey, Dewey and Louie. In Don Rosa's view the reason that so many persons are named Duck is that Duck is a rather common name in Duckburg, like Smith or Jones in America.
At some moment Daisy started to write diaries. She probably do so every day. Her involvement with the Ladies-club in Duckburg also seems very important to her. In the Barks classic "A Christmas For Shacktown" her club in an alliance with the Junior Woodchucks, take the responsibility to arrange a Christmas-party for the poorest children in Duckburg.
Daisy is dating Donald, but he has continuous competition from his cousin Gladstone Gander.
Daphne Duck
She grew up at The Duck-farm at the country-side outside Duckburg. Where she lived later together with her family, is unknown. Born: 18?? in Duckburg. Died: 19?? First appearance: In the early 1950s in Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree (by name). 1993 in Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg. Created by: Carl Barks / Don Rosa Father: Humerdink "Grandpa" Duck Mother: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot Siblings: Quackmore Duck (brother) Eider Duck (brother Spouse: Goostave Gander (In Carl Barks' Duck family tree she was actually married to "Luke the Goose" with whom she had one son, Gladstone, who was orphaned when Daphne and Luke overate at a free-lunch picnic. Gladstone was then adopted by Matilda McDuck and Goosetave Gander! In that version of the tree Gus Goose was a nephew of Luke the Goose. However Barks later changed his mind about this matter). Children: Gladstone Gander (son) Other close relatives: Donald Duck (nephew) Della Duck (niece) Occupation: Unknown, since she was born with the same unbelivable luck as her son Gladstone Gander she probably didn't have to work.
There is not much known about Daphne Duck. In The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink Don Rosa shows that on the day she was born a painterman painted a triple Distelfink sign above the barn doors. For some reason that sign provided Daphne with an extreme luck. Some time after 1902 she married Goostave Gander. Together they had one son Gladstone Gander who indeed inherited his mothers luck.
Della Duck
Don Rosa says it's very plausible that her twin-brother Donald nicknamed her "Dumbella" in their young years. Address: Unknown, but she don't live in Duckburg. Born: Ca. 1920 in Duckburg? Died: ? First appearance: On October 17th, 1937 in the Donald Duck newspaper "Sunday page". There she's mentioned by name in a letter where she told Donald that she had sent Huey, Dewey and Louie to stay with him. That letter was signed "you cousin Della". In The early 1950s she was presented in Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree as Donald's sister (then called Thelma Duck). In 1993 she appeared in person (as a little child) in Lo$ part XI - The Empire Builder from Calisota. The same year she was also shown as adult in "Don Rosa's Duck Family Three". Created by: Ted Osborne, Al Taliaferro, Carl Barks, Don Rosa Father: Quackmore Duck Mother: Hortense McDuck Siblings: Donald Duck (twin-brother) Spouse: His name is unknown, but Don Rosa says that he is a brother of Daisy Duck. Children: Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (sons). Other close relatives: Scrooge McDuck (uncle)
Born ca. 1920 as one of two twins. Daughter of $crooge McDuck's sister Hortense McDuck and Quackmore Duck, son of Elvira "Grandma" Duck and her husband Humperdink Duck. Della Duck thus is a descendant from both the Clan McDuck and the Coots.
In 1930 or some time later, she left Duckburg, probably together with her parents. In a young age (around 18-20 years) she married a brother of Daisy Duck with whom she got the triplets Huey, Dewey and Louie. The kids showed a really wild behaviour and when they finally blown a firecracker underneath their fathers chair (and thus sending him to hospital) Della sent them to her brother Donald who was by then living in Duckburg.
Dismal Downs
Dismal Downs is located in the middle of Rannoch More in the western part of central Scotland. First appearance: 1948 in The old Castle's Secret Created by: Carl Barks Description: Dismal Downs is the name of the place where the McDuck castle is located. The entire Dismal Downs area is included in the McDuck estate.
It's known that the clan McDuck lived at Dismal Downs for a very, very long time. But in 1675 "the hound" started to terrorise the area and the clan found it best to flee it's home. The ownership to the estate however was remained on the clan's hands. You can read more about the history of Dismal Downs and The Clan McDuck
Donald Duck
He lives together with his three nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie in a house in Duckburg. Born: Ca. 1920 in Duckburg? Died: ? xFirst appearance: On June 9th, 1934 in the movie "The wise little hen". Created by: Walt Disney Father: Quackmore Duck Mother: Hortense McDuck Siblings: Della Duck (twin-sister) Spouse: None. He dates Daisy Duck. Children: None Other close relatives: Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (nephews) Scrooge McDuck (uncle) Member of: "The Three Caballeros" Occupation: Various. He often work for his uncle, $crooge. Drives: 313, a car he (according to Don Rosa) built himself from spare parts.
Born ca. 1920 as one of two twins. Son of $crooge McDuck's sister Hortense McDuck and Quackmore Duck, son of Elivira "Grandma" Duck and her husband Humperdink Duck. Donald Duck thus is a descendant from both the Clan McDuck and the Coots. In Back To Long Ago! Barks shows that Donald seems to be the rebirth of the 16th century sailor Pintail Duck.
In Lo$ part 11 Don Rosa shows that Donald's first meeting with Scrooge took place in 1930. When the family leaves Scrooge Donald, still a child, for a moment return to his Uncle Scrooge and gives him a kick in his back.
Very little is known about Donald's life from 1930 to the early 1940's. At some point his family leaves Duckburg. If he stayed in Duckburg all the time (at Grandma Duck's farm?) or left with his family, and then returned at later point is still unknown. What we know is that at some time in the mid-1940's his three nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie moved in with him.
Donald Duck has trough the years tried all kinds of jobs without much success. This is though more caused by constant bad luck and stubbornness than a lack of talent. It however seems that his Uncle $crooge always has something for him, like shining his coins.
In An eye for detail and more recently in The Dutchman's Secret Don Rosa shows that Donald is an expert in detecting very small details. This is why he so easily can separate HD&L from each other while for instance the people in "Plain Awful" think that the boys are totally alike each other.
Once Donald built his own car (registered with the number 313) from spare parts. He has used it ever since.
Donald has a rumour for being a "difficult" neighbour. His fights with his neighbour J. Jones are matter of discussions all over Duckburg. Donald is also known for fights with his own cousin Gladstone Gander over Donald's girlfriend Daisy Duck.
In the private Donald raises his three nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, with great success. He's also known as a good cook with pancakes as his speciality.
Downy O'Drake
She used to live in Glasgow, Scotland. Born: 1830 or 1840, probably in Ireland. Died: 1897 in the McDuck Castle at Dismal Downs? First appearance: 1991 in The last of the Clan McDuck. Created by: Don Rosa Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Fergus McDuck Children: Scrooge McDuck Matilda McDuck Hortense McDuck Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: She probably was a housemother. Member of: ? Drives: She probably handed all driving over to her husband Fergus McDuck.
Nothing much is known about Scrooges mother. She was born, probably somewhere in Ireland, in 1830. Her pre-marriage name O'Drake sound Irish. When asked if she's Irish Don Rosa says: "I guess. I was just trying to think up another ducky sounding name, but didn't want to use "Mc" again. Ireland is nearby, and I didn't have any "O'" names yet.".
Latest in 1867 he married Fergus McDuck of the old Scottish clan McDuck.
Her death in 1897 is mentioned in a letter from her husband Fergus addressed to their son Scrooge, in The King of the Klondike from 1992.
Drake Borough
Drake Borough was located where, Duckburg is located today. First appearance: 1989 in His Majesty McDuck. Created by: Don Rosa Description: Drake Borough is the old name of the English settlement which Cornelius Coot renamed Duckburg in 1818.
Drake Borough was the name Sir Francis Drake gave his Settlement in the land of Nova Albion in 1579. In 1818 the place was renamed Duckburg by the hunter Cornelius Coot.
A more detailed presentation of the history of Drake Borough is found at: The lives and times in Duckburg.
Duckburg
Duckburg is located in the state of Calisota at the American Pacific coast. The name Calisota was first mentioned by Barks in 1952 in the story The Gilded Man. Founded: In His Majesty McDuck Don Rosa shows that Duckburg was founded by Cornelius Coot in 1818. Before then the place was called Drake borough. Drake borough was an English settlement founded by Sir Francis Drake in 1579. First appearance: The name Duckburg probably first occurred in the last panel of the Barks story The tight-wire Artist / High-wire Daredevils from 1944. Where a sign along the railway (in the last panel) says "Duckburg 2096 miles". Created by: Carl Barks Description: Duckburgs is a medium sized city. It's not a small town or a village nor is it a big metropolis.
Duckburgs known history started in June 1579 when British colonists and adventurers led by Sir Francis Drake and Malcolm McDuck landed in a land then called Nova Albion (which has later become known as Calisota). Fort Drake Borough (later known as Fort Duckburg was built the same year. The very first commander on Fort Drake Borough was (according to Don Rosa) Malcolm McDuck.
In the 20th century the city has been shaped by it's no.1 citizen Scrooge McDuck.
A detailed presentation of the history of Duckburg is found at The lives and times in Duckburg.
Duckworth
Scrooge's butler and driver in DuckTales. Duckworth is very proper and has an Enlish accent. With his nose lifted in the air he may seem to be a snob, but he is not.
F Fergus McDuck:
He used to live in Glasgow, Scotland. Born: 1830 in Glasgow?, Scotland. Died: 1902 in the McDuck Castle at Dismal Downs. First appearance: In the early 1950's he appeared in (though he was there called Scotty McDuck and was only mentioned by name). 1991 in Of Ducks, Dimes and Destinies. Created by: Carl Barks and Don Rosa Father: "Dirty" Dingus McDuck Mother: Molly Mollard Siblings: Angus "Pothole" McDuck (brother) Jake McDuck (brother) Spouse: Downy O'Drake Children: Scrooge McDuck Matilda McDuck Hortense McDuck Other close relatives: The Clan McDuck Occupation: He was a mill worker in Glasgow. Member of: ? Drives: He had a horse and carrier.
Fergus McDuck was born in Glasgow?, Scotland in 1830 as number two of three siblings. In page 7 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa shows that Fergus worked as a mill worker in Glasgow.
Latest in 1867 he married Downy O'Drake that probably came from Ireland.
His death in the McDuck Castle at Dismal Downs is shown in The Billionaire of Dismal Downs from 1993. Showing the death of a character is very special in a Disney comic. Don Rosa says: "...the death of a character, much less a main character, was something never before seen in an American Disney issue. I knew from the start that the storyline would have to involve the death of $crooge's parents -- and I think I handled the death of his father fairly tastefully by using the final scene in "The ghost and mrs.Muir" as my inspiration. I could hear that glorious Bernard Herrmann score playing in my head as I drew those final panels".
Flintheart Glomgold
He lives in his Money Bin in the Limpopo Valley in South Africa. Born: 18?? Died: 19?? First appearance: 1956 in The Second-richest Duck Created by: Carl Barks Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown, however he seems to be alone. Children: Unknown Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: He is a business man with a rather low morale. Member of: Unknown, however in some stories (not Barks or Rosa) he has been a member of the Billionaires Club in Duckburg. Drives: Various?. Most of the time he has a chauffeur.
When Flintheart Glomgold first appeared in 1956 Barks showed that he lives in the Limpopo Valley in South Africa. However because of was the apartheid system that ruled that country until 1989, many later Duck-story creators have seen away from that fact. However in Lo$, part 6 The Terror of the Transvaal Don Rosa shows that Scroges first meeting with Flintheart was around 1880 when Scrooge went to South Africa in search of gold. In a comment Don Rosa says: "Now, I know we've seen various European Duck stories telling of how $crooge and Flintheart Glomgold were partners in the Yukon, or that Glomgold lives in Duckburg and sits beside $crooge at the "Millionaires' Club"; but we Barks fans all know that $crooge's "evil twin" lives in South Africa. And knowing that this chapter would be set in that region, how could I resist having $crooge encounter "Flinty" in the days before either of them had a dollar (or rand) to their name? Yet notice that $crooge never learns Flintheart's name, since his African rival is unknown and unrecognized by him in their later "first" meeting in "The Second Richest Duck"... On the other hand, we have no indication that Flintheart doesn't already know $crooge in that tale -- in fact, the cool manner in which Flintheart receives $crooge could be inferred as a sign that Flintheart knew who he was, and knew he was on his way to Africa, having met him on the ship coming over... I see Flintheart as a match for $crooge (his youthful inspiration) in every way -- they both started from nothing and made their fortunes by "being sharper than the sharpies and smarter than the smarties"... but the difference is that Flintheart didn't "make it square". He's dishonest, and perhaps downright murderous (as opposed to the Beagle Boys who are more good-natured baddies)".
Barks never said anything about where Flintheart has his origin, so he may have been born in Scotland and emigrated to South Africa at a young age, like $crooge emigrated to America. Anyway, in "The Terror of the Transvaal" Glomgold sasy he's a Boer. Translators have sometimes confused him with John D. Rockerduck.
Fulton Gearloose
Duckburg. Born: 18?? in Duckburg? Died: 19?? First appearance: 1992 in Guardians of the Lost Library (just by name). First appearence in person was in 1993 in Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg. Created by: Don Rosa Father: Ratchet Gearloose Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown Children: Gyro Gearloose (son). Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: Repairman in Duckburg. Member of: He was one of the pioneer members of The Junior Woodchucks. Drives: Like his father and his son he probably had various vehicles which he invented hiself.
In Gyro's First Invention Don Rosa shows that Fulton Gearloose was a repairman who used to repair anything for people, and that he had a workshop in Duckburg which he ran until he handed it over to his son, Gyro in 1952. In Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg, he appear among the very first Junior Woodchucks. His involvement with The Junior Woodchucks is also shown in the Junior Woodchucks museum in he beginning of Guardians of the Lost Library where he is mentioned as the "inventor of the Junior Woodchucks merit badge". Fulton Gearloose as a member of JW in 1902.
G General Snozzie Address: He stays together with The Junior Woodchucks somewhere in Duckburg. Born: Around 1950 in Duckburg? Died: After 1965 in Duckburg? First appearance: 1958 in Dodging Miss Daisy / Spring Cleaning. Created by: Carl Barks Description: He is a bloodhound. Occupation: He is the official bloodhound of The Junior Woodchucks.
General Snozzie is the official bloodhound of the Junior Woodchucks. His nose can detect any substance on command.
In W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N. he does appear as a puppy, so we can assume that he was born around 1950. In The Phantom of Notre Duck we can see that he is still alive in 1965.
Gladstone Gander
He lives in a house in Duckburg. Born: 19?? in Duckburg? Died: ? First appearance: 1948 in Wintertime Wager. Created by: Carl Barks Father: Goosetave Gander Mother: Daphne Duck Siblings: Unknown Spouse: None. He sometimes dates Daisy Duck. Children: None Other close relatives: Occupation: None, he hates to work and lives from anything his extreme luck can give him. Member of: A lazy man's-club in Duckburg? Drives: He usually drives an open car.
There have been some uncertainties connected to the origin of Gladstone Gander. In Carl Barks' first version of the Duck Family Tree which he made for his own reference in the early fifties, Gladstone was the son of Luke the Goose and Daphne Duck, and was later adopted by Matilda McDuck and Goosetave Gander. (Daphne and Luke died by overeating at a free-lunch picnic). Barks probably came up with this because Gladstone had appeared to be related to both Scrooge and Grandma Duck in his stories. It is said that Barks did away with this adoption in a later version of his tree, that isn't published anywhere.
In Don Rosa's version of the family tree, Daphne instead married Goosetave Gander, and they were Gladstone's parents, so there was never any adoption. Even though it's not shown in his family tree, Don Rosa also think that Matilda McDuck instead is married to Ludwig Von Drake.
Barks has shown that Gladstone has tried only one job in his entire life. Afterwards he was so ashamed that he was hiding his salary (one single coin) in a safe that he probably won some time.
In The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink Don Rosa shows that the extreme luck that is connected to Gladstone (and also to his mother Daphne) is caused by a Triple Distelfink sign that old Humperdink Duck hired a man to paint ahead of one of the barn doors the day Daphne was born. On one of his birthdays when he was still a kid (sometime in the 20's), Gladstone was almost hit by a lightning after Donald had him hang after a rope, ahead of the opposite barn door with an upside down Triple Distelfink sign painted ahead of it. Because of this he always experienced an extremely bad luck on each birthday. However this curse was ended when Gladstone was almost hit by another lightning when hanging after a rope (again caused by Donald) ahead of the barn door with the normal Triple Distelfink painted ahead of it. From then on Gladstone has been followed by extremely luck every single day during the entire year.
Goldie O'Gilt
Her last name indicates that her family is of Irish origin. Address: She used to live in Uncle Scrooges old cottage nearby Dawson, Canada together with her tame bear, but in Last sled to Dawson Don Rosa shows that she runs a hotel in Dawson and thus lives there. Born: 18?? in ? Died: 19?? in Dawson? First appearance: 1953 in Back to the Klondike. Created by: Carl Barks (her last name by Don Rosa. Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: None, at least not in the Barks/Rosa Duck-universe. Children: None, at least not in the Barks/Rosa Duck-universe. Other close relatives: In some Italian stories she has a granddaughter called Dickie Duck, but she doesn't exist in the Barks/Rosa Duck-universe. Occupation: She runs a hotel in Dawson. In her younger days she started the place up as the Blackjack Saloon that after a while was improved into the Blackjack Ballroom. Member of: ? Drives: She doesn't seem to have any vehicle.
"Glittering" Goldie O'Gilt is in many ways a mystery. We don't know when or where she was born or why she appears in Dawson if she's not born there. We can however assume that she came to Dawson some time in the mid- or late 1890s, to start a saloon in the hope of profiting from the rush for gold, and perhaps also to find a nice and tough gold-prospector. Based on her last name O'Gilt, we can assume that her ancestors came from Ireland.
In Lo$ part 8 - The King of the Klondike and Hearts of the YukonDon Rosa shows that "Glittering" Goldie O'Gilt was in Dawson in the late 1890's. In Last sled to Dawson he shows that she still lives in the north in the 1950s.
A link for "Glittering" Goldie fans: Welcome to Duckburg! by Katie Sullivan.
E Eider Duck
He grew up at The Duck-farm at the country-side outside Duckburg. Where he lived later together with his family, is unknown. But it has to be in some distance from Duckburg since he once (in 1944) sent a falcon to his nephew Donald, by postage. Born: 18?? in Duckburg? Died: 19?? First appearance: 1944 in Farragut the Falcon / The fighting Falcon (by name). 1993 in Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg. Created by: Carl Barks / Don Rosa Father: Humerdink "Grandpa" Duck Mother: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot Siblings: Quackmore Duck (brother) Daphne Duck (sister) Spouse: Lulubelle Loon Children: Abner "Whitewater" Duck (son) Fethry Duck (son). This is only for those who think he does exist in the Duck-universe. Don Rosa added him because his publisher said so - not because he wanted to. Other close relatives: Donald Duck (nephew) Della Duck (niece) Gladstone Gander (nephew) Occupation: His occupation is unknown, but it could be something related to birds since he once (in 1944) sent his nephew Donald a falcon.
There is not much known about Eider Duck. Eider Duck was not included in Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree even though Barks already had mentioned him in a story where he sent Donald a falcon. He was later included in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree because Don Rosa (as always) included all Barksian facts).
Sometime after 1902 Eider Duck married Lulubelle Loon and had one son "Abner 'Whitewater' Duck" (Don Rosa says that Fethry Duck doesn't belong in Barks' and his universe, and thus Don Rosa don't regard him as a son of Eider Duck). Where ever Eider Duck and his family are living it is not in Duckburg., because once (in 1944) sent a falcon to his nephew Donald, by postage.
Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot (some times called "Elviry")
Address: She lives atThe Duck-farm at the country-side outside Duckburg, together with her grand-nephew Gus Goose. Born: Ca. 1855 in Duckburg? Died: Before 1970 in Duckburg? First appearance: 1940, on a picture on Donald's wall. 1943, in person. Created by: Al Taliaferro, with his mother-in-law, Donnie M. Wheaton, as the inspiration. Father: Clinton Coot Mother: Gertrude Gadwall Siblings: Casey Coot (brother) In some European stories Uncle Scrooge has wrongly been presented as her brother. Spouse: Humperdink Duck Children: Quackmore Duck (son) Daphne Duck (daughter) Either Duck (son) Other close relatives: Gus Goose (grand nephew) Occupation: Housemother and farmer. Member of: ? Drives: An old Detroit Electric, sometimes she also drives a tractor.
Born ca. 1855 in Duckburg? as the oldest of two siblings. She was sometime around 1873-1875 married to Humperdink Duck. They lived at a farm outside Duckburg. Together they had 3 children, Quackmore, Daphne and Either. They used to be called Mother and Father Duck, later that changed, off natural causes, to Grandma and Grandpa Duck.
Some time after Scrooge McDuck first appeared in Duckburg in 1902 she sold him most of her land except for the farm.
At some point after 1920 her husband Humperdink died and left her a widow. After that she ran the farm by herself. At some point her brother Casey's daughter's son Gus Goose started to "help" her at the farm.
Grandma Duck is in many ways the head of the Duck-family. She is normally the one who arranges the family's Christmas celebrations and she's known as an excellent cook with pies as one of many specialities.
Grandma Duck died in Duckburg? before 1970 at a very high age.
H Hortense
Address: She used to stay together with Scrooge in Montana, Indonesia and other places. Born: Around 1880 in Montana, USA? Died: After 1890 First appearance: 1992 in Lo$, part 3 The Bucharoo of the Badlands. Created by: Don Rosa. Description: She was a horse. Of nature she was somewhat wild, but Scrooge managed to tame her very well. Don Rosa has also shown that she was very clever.
Hortense is the horse, by then called "The Widow Maker", on which scrooge was tested when he was to be hired as a Cowboy by Murdo MacKenzie in 1882. The reason Scrooge wasn't thrown of the horse immediately was that his money-belt was hanged up in the saddle. Scrooge tamed her and renamed her Hortense after his youngest sister (he said they had the same bad temper).
In the period from 1882-1885 she followed Scrooge everywhere, first on the Texas-Montana Trail, then to Indonesia and finally back to Montana.
In 1885 Scrooge returned to Scotland in a hurry. Whatever happened to Hortense when Scrooge was absent in the years from 1885 to 1889 is still unknown. One possibility though, is that she stayed with her previous owner and Scrooges former boss, Murdo MacKenzie.
When Scrooge returned to America in 1889 he and Hortense was reunited and appear together in 1890 in The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff.
Hortense has not been seen since Scrooge left his Uncle Angus after the adventure in Bluff. Her further faith is thus unknown.
Hortense McDuck
Address: After leaving Scotland she lived in Duckburg at least until 1930. What happened to her after that is of yet unknown. Since Donald is the only family member shown in histories covering the period after 1930 one can assume that she and the rest of the family, left Duckburg some time after leaving Scrooge in 1930. Perhaps she and her husband Quackmore live at the same place as their daughter Della and her husband. Born: 1876 in Glasgow, Scotland? Died: 19?? First appearance: The early 1950s in Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree (by name). 1991 in Lo$ part I - The last of the Clan McDuck (in person). Created by: Carl Barks / Don Rosa Father: Fergus McDuck Mother: Downy O'Drake Siblings: Scrooge McDuck (brother) Matilda McDuck (sister) Spouse: Quackmore Duck Children: Donald Duck (son) Della Duck (daughter) Other close relatives: Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (grandsons) Occupation: We don't know much about her, but it seems that she often worked for her brother $crooge in her younger days. Later on she probably was a house-mother. Member of: ? Drives: She has never been seen driving any vehicle, perhaps her housband Quackmore handled the driving?
Hortense McDuck was born in Glasgow, Scotland? in 1876 as the youngest of three siblings. She was thus a very young child when her 9 years older brother Scrooge left Scotland for America. But even then she had developed her image - a somewhat wild mood. So when Scrooge got a horse with a wild temper in America he named it after her.
In 1902 she left Scotland and went to America together with the rest of her siblings. On her way to America she dreamt about meeting nice American cowboys. When the McDucks first arrived in Duckburg she was a bit disappointed that there were no cowboys there. Soon after her arrival in Duckburg she however met Quackmore Duck (a descendant of The founder of Duckburg, Cornelius Coot) with a temper very similar to her own. In The Sharpie of the Culebra Cut Don Rosa shows that she was still very interested in "cowboys" during her, Scrooges and Matildas stay in Panama in 1906. In the beginning of Lo$ part XI - The Empire-Builder from Calisota that takes place in 1908 Don Rosa shows that she and Quackmore Duck were engaged. They finally were married some years later.
In The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff and in The Dutchman's Secret Don Rosa shows that Hortense used to paste photos, etc. into some photo books.
From 1902 to 1930 she and Matilda worked for Scrooge. Around 1908 while Scrooge was abroad they hired Miss Emily Quackfaster as Scrooges new secretary.
When Scrooge finally returned to Duckburg in 1930 she and the rest of the family prepared for nice reunion, but because of Scrooges unpleasant behaviour when he returned she, and the rest of the family left him...
Whatever happened to Hortense, Quackmore and their kids after that incident is for the mostly unknown. What we know is that Donald appeared in Duckburg in the 1940's and that Della lived elsewhere.
Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck.
Address: He used to sail on the seven seas. Born: Around 1710 in Scotland? Died: 1776 in the war? First appearance: In the Barks classic Chisel McSue and the Horse Radish Treasure from 1953. Created by: Carl Barks Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown Children: Unknown Other close relatives: The Clan McDuck Occupation: He used to be an officer at sea. Member of: ? Drives: When he was ashore he was probably riding a Horse.
Capt. Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck was born around 1710. He grew wealthy sailing his "Golden Goose" on the trade route to the West Indies! But in 1753 one Swindle McSue tricked him into a contract to deliver some horse radish to Jamaica - then scuttled the "Goose"! Seafoam forfeited the McDuck home and belongings to McSue, and escaped with only the heirloom watch in his pocket, and the golden dentures in his mouth!
According to Don Rosa, "Seafoam" died in 1776, perhaps in the Anglo-American war.
Humperdink "Grandpa" Duck
Address: He used to live at The Duck-farm at the country-side outside Duckburg, together with his family. Don Rosa says that it was Grandma Duck's family, the Coots, who owned the farm before that, so Humperdink must have come from elsewhere. Where he came from is however still unknown. Born: Since he was a father in 1875 he must have been born before 1860. Died: Unknown, but in The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink Don Rosa shows that he was still alive in the mid 1920s. It however seems that Grandma Duck is a widow by 1940. First appearance: 1993 in Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg. Created by: Don Rosa Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot Children: Quackmore Duck (son) Daphne Duck (daughter) Eider Duck (son) Other close relatives: Gus Goose (grand nephew) Occupation: Farmer. Member of: Perhaps a farmers assoiation? Drives: Perhaps he was the first one to drive the old Detroit Electric, Grandma Duck later drives. In the Dutch version of Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree he is shown driving a tractor.
There is not much known about Humerdink Duck. He was born before 1860 and married latest in 1875 to Elvira Coot, daughter of Clinton Coot, and granddaughter of Cornelius Coot the founder of Duckburg. The farm they took over belonged to her family so he must have come from elsewhere. He is shown alive in the mid 1920s, but seems to be dead before 1940. When it comes to his origin Don Rosa says that the Duck family came from the British Isles, probably England.
M McDuck, Angus "Pothole"
He used to live nearby the Mississippi-river in the USA. Born: 1829 in Glasgow, Scotland. Died: 19?? in New Orleans, USA. First appearance: 1955 in The Great Steamboat Race Created by: Carl Barks. Father: "Dirty" Dingus McDuck. Mother: Molly Mollard. Siblings: Fergus McDuck (brother) Jake McDuck (brother). Occupation: He used to be a riverboater on the Mississippi. Later on he arranged western-shows. He used to sail a steamboat on the Mississippi.
J Jake McDuck
Address: It seems that he used to live in Scotland. Born: 1832 in Glasgow?, Scotland. Died: 19?? in Scotland? First appearance: He was first mentioned in 1952 in the Barks classic A Christmas For Shacktown when Donald went to Scrooge dressed as him, in the hope that Scrooge would give him some money for a toy-train for the poor children in Shacktown. Donald's attempt failed because Scrooge remembered that his uncle Jake once borrowed some money from him and had never paid back. Created by: Carl Barks Father: "Dirty" Dingus McDuck Mother: Molly Mollard Siblings: Angus "Pothole" McDuck (brother) Fergus McDuck (brother) Spouse: None Children: None Other close relatives: The Clan McDuck Occupation: He was a stockyard hand in Glasgow?
Jake McDuck was born in Glasgow?, Scotland in 1832 as the youngest of three siblings. In page 7 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa shows that Jake worked as a stockyard hand, probably in Glasgow.
In page 7 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa shows that Jake never married.
Jake McDuck died, probably somewhere in Scotland, sometime after 1900.
John D. Rockerduck
Address: He lives in Duckburg. Born: From Lo$, part 4 The Raider of the Copper Hill it seems that John must have been born sometime in the second half of the 1870's. In Of Ducks, Dimes and Destinies Don Rosa shows that his father Howard Rockerduck looked for girls in Glasgow in 1877 and that he returned to the USA without success. This means that his father probably, was still single at that time. He must however have married soon after. John is thus probably born around 1878 in the USA. Died: 19?? First appearance: 1961 in Boat Buster Created by: Carl Barks Father: Howard Rockerduck Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: None Children: None Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: He is a business man with a rather low morale. Member of: He is a member of the Billionaires Club in Duckburg. Drives: Various?. Most of the time he has a chauffeur.
The Duckburg billionaire John D. Rockerduck doesn't appear often in the stories of Barks and Rosa, but he has become a major character in the Italian Duck Universe. Don Rosa has shown that the very first meeting between Rockerduck and Scrooge took place in Anaconda, Montana in 1885. In a comment about this Don Rosa says:
"In my story I try to show Rockerduck as being quite different from $crooge (and Flintheart Glomgold, for that matter) in that he inherited all his wealth rather than working for it like $crooge and Flinty. I also make John a few years younger than $crooge so that I can further insult him by having his own father, Howard Rockerduck, be one of the long line of mentors from whom $crooge gains advice in the course of my series."
José "Joe" Carioca
Address: Vila Xurupita in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Born: 19?? in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Died: ? xFirst appearance: 1943 in the Disney movie Saludos Amigos. Created by: Walt Disney Studios Introduction to the Barks/Rosa universe: He was introduced to the Barks/Rosa universe by Don Rosa in 2000 in the story The Three Caballeros ride again. Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: He has two nephews, Zico and Zeca, so, we can imagine that he has at least one brother, or sister. Spouse: None, but some sources mention a girlfriend called Rosinha ("Little Rose") a.k.a. Aurora Children: None Other close relatives: Some sources mentiones two nephews Zico and Zeca and a lot off counsins, every one from a specifc region in Brazil: Zé Paulista (from São Paulo) Zé Queijinho (from Minas Gerais) Zé Pampeiro (from Rio Grande do Sul) Zé de Itu (from a city called "Itu", on the countryside off São Paulo, were everything is "big", including Carioca's cousin) Zé Baiano (from Bahia) Zé Jandaia (from the north off the country) Occupation: He is an Entertainer. In Brazil, he usually don't do NOTHING! He HATE working! Member of: "The Three Caballeros" Drives: ? Other information: José Carioca was created during World War II as a part of an American campaign to gain goodwill in Latin America. His first name is believed to have been inspired by the popular Brazilian cartoonist José Carlos de Britto e Cunha. His last name, Carioca, is a Brazilian word used to describe a native of Rio de Janeiro. José Carioca has become very popular in Brazil where he is now called Zé for short.
Paul Murry drew his firsts comic strips and after the War he disappeared from the USA .He was reintroduced in Brazil, on the covers off "Pato Donald"during the 50's by Luis Destuet, that came from Argentina to teach the Brazilian drawers how to draw the Disney style. Jorge Jato was the first Brazilian Disney drawer, and the "ZĂ© Carioca"comic came in the 60's. After Kato, Waldyr Igayara carried the first Carioca comics. Later Herrero, Renato Canini, ClĂĄudio de Souza, ElĂ Leon, Euclides Miyaura, Arthur Faria Jr, Fukue, Paulo Borges, Aluir AmĂąncio, GĂ©rson Borlotti Teixeira, Aparecido Norberto, Ătila de Carvalho and lot's off others Brazilian writters and drawers have carried the Carioca's Brazilian comics up today. The best off all: Renato Canini, that draws the most cartooning, and the most realistic ZĂ© Carioca off all!.
In 1945 José "Joe" Carioca formed the trio "The Three Caballeros" together with his good friends Panchito and Donald Duck. In the late 1950's he appeared in Mexico where he worked as an entertainer and looked for pretty women. During those days "The three caballeros" were reunited.
K Kill Motor Hill
is located in, Duckburg. First appearance: 1951 in The Big Bin on Killmotor Hill. Created by: Carl Barks Description: It is the hill on where Sir Francis Drake built his Fort Drake Borough in 1579 and where Scrooge McDuck raised his Money Bin in 1902.
Kill Motor Hill has been a very central place during the entire history of Duckburg, In 1579 Sir Francis Drake built his fort on top of the hill which at one point was named "Kill Mule Hill". When it comes to the origin of the old name of the hill, "Kill Mule Hill", Don Rosa says: Barks named the hill that the Money Bin sits on as "Killmotor Hill" in the story where he first used the Money Bin. I decided in the "Life of $crooge" that it must have had a different name in the 18th and 19th centuries before they invented cars.
In 1902 Scrooge McDuck tried to drive his car to the top of the hill, but that effort was too much for the car's motor and it stopped. Immediately after that incident Humperdink Duck renamed the hill and gave it its present name. During a period of six months the same year Scrooge raised his Money Bin on the hill.
A more detailed presentation of the history of Duckburg is found at: The lives and times in Duckburg.
T The Helper
Address: He stays together with Gyro Gearloose in a house or perhaps in Gyro's workshop in Duckburg. Constructed: 1952 in Duckburg. First appearance: 1956 in The Cat Box. Created by: Carl Barks Description: He (it) is a kind of microbot. Invented by: Gyro Gearloose with some help from Donald Duck. "Siblings": Gyro once made a big helper. Occupation: He (it) is Gyro Gearlooses' mechanical helping hand.
In Gyro's First Invention Don Rosa shows that the Helper was constructed in 1952. He is built out of a lamp previous owned by Donald Duck. Some mysterious way the lamp became alive and intelligent when Donald accidentally hit Gyro in his head with it so that Gyro's head hit his unfinished mindbox. Later Gyro gave the main part of the lamp mechanical legs and arms so that it could be able to cross obstacles. To avoid vibrations while moving it was also equipped with dolls shoes (The same type Gyro had previously done for April, May and June), and finally Donald put on a light-bulb so that it could light up it's surroundings.
Don Rosa also shows that the Helpers first mission was to enter the badger's hole where $crooge previously (in the Barks classic A Christmas For Shacktown) used a toy-train to get back his money.
In The Duck Who Never Was. Don Rosa indicates that the Helper needs some kind of maintenance from Gyro to function. In some stories by Barks, the Helper switches his light-bulb himself, so this necessary maintenance is probably some kind of energy-transmission.
In The Once and Future Duck Don Rosa shows that the Helper was the one that drew King Arthur's sword "Excalibur" out of the stone.
L Ludwig Von Drake
Address: He lives in Duckburg. Born: 18?? in Vienna, Austria? Died: 19?? First appearance: 1961 on television, in An Adventure in Color. Created by: ? Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: According to Don Rosa he is married to Scrooges sister Matilda McDuck Children: Unknown Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: He is an intelligent professor and a Scientist. Member of: ? Drives: He probably has a car.
Ludwig Von Drake is very seldom used by Carl Barks and Don Rosa, and there is nothing much known about him. What we know is that he is said to be an Austrian from Vienna and that he is a professor. He is usually seen as Donald's uncle. In Don Rosa's view he is that by being married to Scrooge's sister "Matilda McDuck", but he wasn't allowed by his publisher, to show that on his Duck Family Tree.
M Magica De Spell
Address: She lives at Mt. Vesuvio, Italy together with her black raven. Born: Unknown Died: ? First appearance: 1961 in The Midas Touch Created by: Carl Barks Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: None Children: None Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: She's a sorceress. Member of: Sometimes she seems to be a member of an association for witches and sorcerers. Drives: She flies a broom.
Ever since Magica for the very first time, walked into Scrooges office in 1961, Scrooges first dime has been in the utmost danger. The reason for this is that Magica all the time tries to steal the dime in order to melt it, and create an amulet that she expects will make her the richest person in the world.
In Of Ducks, Dimes and Destinies from 1991 Don Rosa shows that the very first meeting between Magica and Scrooge took place in Glasgow in 1877 at the moment Scrooge earned his first coin. This happened because Magica used a time candle to go back in time.
When it comes to the question if Magica is a witch or a sorceress Don Rosa says: "I (and Egmont-editor Byron Erickson) regard Magica as a totally normal "human being" who dabbles in sorcery using spells and potions, but has no supernatural abilities of her own without such tools. That was Barks' original version."
Malcolm McDuck.
Address: He used to sail on the seven seas. Born: Around 1530 in Scotland? Died: After 1579 First appearance: In the Barks classic Back To Long Ago! from 1956 there is mentioned a Matey McDuck that can be seen as his first appearance. The name Malcolm McDuck is probably first used in 1991 in some unpublished sketches by Don Rosa. Created by: Carl Barks and Don Rosa Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown Children: Unknown Other close relatives: The Clan McDuck Occupation: He used to be an officer at sea and became the very first commander of Fort Drake Borrough in 1579. Member of: ? Drives: When he was ashore he was probably riding a Horse.
Malcolm McDuck was born around 1530.
In the Barks classic Back To Long Ago! from 1956 there is mentioned a Matey McDuck who was a British naval officer in the Caribbean. Once Matey McDuck and a sailor named Pintail Duck buried a treasure that actually consisted of potatoes. In that same story Barks also shows that Matey McDuck seems to have been reborn as Scrooge McDuck.
And In page 5 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa mentions that "Records show that in the 1560's a McDuck served aboard the HMS "Falcon Rover" under Capt. Loyal Hawk as he raided the Spanish Caribbean trade routes!"
Once Don Rosa have said that Malcolm McDuck died in 1564, but in pages 5 and 6 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ he shows that in 1579 Malcolm McDuck sailed together with Sir Francis Drake as the "first mate" of "The Golden Hind". Shortly after he became the first commander of the new Fort Drake Borough and thus became the first McDuck in what later became known as Duckburg.
The easiest explanation of all this is to see Matey and Malcolm McDuck as two separate McDucks, probably brothers who both went to sea. Matey drowned when "The Falcon" sunk in 1564 and Malcolm died sometime after he ended up in Drake Borough in 1579.

This is our Encyclopedia to the Universe that was created by American Duckman writer and artist Carl Barks, and that was continued by American writer / artist Don Rosa, and the TV series DuckTales.
This is a who's who and a what's what in Duckburg and in the entire world that is centered around the Barksian Ducks.
List will be growing over time. If you have any suggestions that you don't see here, please email them to us: number.one_dime@yahoo.com
It's going to take a while to build this list, so I ask for everyone's patience. Please check back for updates. Thank you.
And please allow a moment for this page to fully load, there is a lot here.
A April, May & June
Born in Duckburg about 1940, they First appeared in "Flip Decision / Flipism" from 1943. These ducklings were created by Carl Barks. Their mother is obviously a sister of Daisy Duck, but their father is unknown. Once, when Don Rosa was asked if the mother of April, May and June is Donna Duck who appeared in a few stories before Daisy had appeared, he said "that is a good idea." Also, according to Don Rosa, Huey, Dewey and Louie are their cousins. They attend School regularly, live in Duckburg, but they do not appear too often in the stories of either Carl Barks or Don Rosa.
Arpin LusĂšne: a.k.a. The Black Knight
He lives in his castle in Portofino on the French Riviere. First appearance: 1997 in The Black Knight. He also appears in Attaaaaaack! from 2000. Created by: Don Rosa. He is a French count and gentleman that lives a double life as a master thief. Member of The French aristocracy.
Nothing much is known about Arpine LusĂšne: a.k.a. "le chavalier noir" (the black knight). What is known is that he is a French count and gentleman that lives a double life as the famous master thief "le chavalier noir" who only steals from rich people.
B Barks, Carl
American Artist and author of the Duck Universe. Please CLICK HERE for more information about Mr. Barks.
Beagle, Blackheart
He apparantly lives together with the rest of the Beagle Boys in their headquarter in Duckburg. Born in the late 1800's, he died sometime after 1952 in Duckburg. His first appearance was 1957 in "The Fantastic River Race." He was created by Carl Barks. In "Lo$, part 10, The Invader of Fort Duckburg," Don Rosa shows a Grandma Beagle who was supposed to look after the Beagle's hideout when Blackheart and his sons stole cattle and other values. Blackheart has at least three sons, and his grandsons are Scrooge's most famous enemies. He was a river pirate-captain on a river-boat and thief.
Beakley, Mrs.
Maid to Uncle Scrooge in the TV series DuckTales, and aunt to Webagail Vanderquack.
C Coot, Casey
He grew up in Duckburg, and probably returned there after his unsuccessful adventure in the Klondike. He was born around 1860 in Duckburg and died sometime before 1970. First appearance was in 1987 in Last sled to Dawson, Created by: Don Rosa. His father was Clinton Coot, and his mother was Gertrude Gadwall. Siblings: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot (sister). Spouse: Gretchen Grebe Children: Cuthbert Coot (son); Fanny Coot (daughter - the mother of Gus Goose). Other close relatives: Gus Goose (grandson). Occupation: We don't know more about him than that he was a gold prospector in the Klondike in the 1890s.
In the late 1890s he went to Klondike in search for gold. He didn't succeed, and the only reason he still could afford to buy his ticket back home to Duckburg was that he - in December 1899, sold the deed to Kill Mule Hill and Fort Duckburg (a total of 10 acres of land) for $200 to Scrooge McDuck, who also was in the Klondike by then. Kill Mule Hill, being in California, was the future site of the Money Bin, set dead in the middle of Duckburg.
Clinton Coot
He used to live in or near Duckburg, perhaps in the farm later owned by Grandma Duck. Born: Ca. 1830 in Duckburg? Died: Ca 1910 in Duckburg? First appearance: 1992, in Guardians of the Lost Library (mentioned by name). 1993, in Don Rosa's Duck Family Three. (picture). Created by: Don Rosa Father: Cornelius Coot Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Gertrude Gadwall Children: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot (daughter) Casey Coot (son) Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: Storekeeper at Coot's Emporium. He also became the founder of the Junior Woodchucks.
When Don Rosa created Clinton Coot he named him after the president of the USA at that time (Bill Clinton).
Clinton Coot was born ca. 1830 in Duckburg? In A little something special Don Rosa shows that Clinton Coot during the second half of the 19th century, ran his own store called "Coot's Emporium". From there he sold ice-cream, etc.
Clinton Coot was very interested in the nature - an interest probably inherited from his mother who Don Rosa says probably was an Indian squaw, and in science. He also learned very much from a book he once got from his father Cornelius Coot, who once found the book in a tight box in a secret room beneath Fort Duckburg.
In 1901 he founded The Junior Woodchucks organisation to promote his interests for the nature and to ensure that the book ended up in safe hands after his death. The organisation was named after the Woodchuck militia which was disbanded shortly before. Like the old militia The Junior Woodchucks were supposed to use Fort Duckburg as their headquarters.
Cornelius Coot (Founder of Duckburg)
Since 1818 he used to live in or near Duckburg, perhaps in the farm later owned by Grandma Duck. It is still unknown where he lived before his arrival to Duckburg in 1818, but since he was a hunter, he may have moved around a bit. Born: Ca. 1790 in ? Died: 1880 in Duckburg? First appearance: 1952, in Statuesque Spendthrifts. Created by: Carl Barks Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown Children: Clinton Coot (son) Other close relatives: The Coot Kin Occupation: He used to be a hunter. Later he became the founder of Duckburg. Member of: He seems to have been a member (and perhaps the first leader) of the Woodchuck Militia.
In hope of doing a good trade with the British, Cornelius Coot - by then a hunter, arrived Fort Drake Borough in 1818. While staying in the fort the British garrison were attacked by Spanish troops who tried to conquer it. During the battle the British forces gave the fort over to Cornelius so that they could escape without risking to be sent back by their king. Afterwards Cornelius succeeded to frighten the Spanish troops away by a trickery with some popping popcorn. Shortly after he renamed the place "Duckburg". To defend the area from all kind of enemies he later founded the Woodchuck Militia.
There is as of yet not much known about what happened to Cornelius after this. In The Day Duckburg Got Dyed / Gyro's Super-Dye Carl Barks tell us that once Cornelius Coot piped mountain water to Duckburg, and in Guardians of the Lost Library, Don Rosa shows that Cornelius also revealed the secrets of the fort - like the secret room with the lost library. There he found the box that contained the essence of the ancient library of Alexandria. At some later point he passed that stuff overt to his son Clinton Coot.
There are yet not much known about Cornelius Coot's origin. What is known though, is that the Coots had already been in America for a long time at the time of Cornelius Coot. The first Coots in America probably came over on the Mayflower or to Jamestown. Don Rosa has once described the Coots as "melting-pot" American.
Twice, in Statuesque Spendthrifts from 1952 and in The Day Duckburg Got Dyed / Gyro's Super-Dye from 1957 Barks shows that the city of Duckburg still honour his memory by erecting monuments.
When asked why he did not give Cornelius Coot a wife in his Duck Family Tree, Don Rosa says: "I treated Cornelius the same way as the early ancestors on all 3 Trees. Notice that only the characters who appear in the upper branches have fully defined family relationships, and there is no room left for additions. The characters shown on the trunk are simply ancestors and there are many other possible relatives in those areas. Still, I don't think there were any other sons or daughters of Cornelius other than Clinton. And in American pioneer spirit, I'd say that the wife that Cornelius took was probably an Indian squaw... and I doubt if they were married."
D Daisy Duck
Address: She lives in a house in Duckburg. Born: Ca. 1920 in Duckburg? Died: ? First appearance: November 4, 1940 in the Donald Duck daily strip. In the 1937 cartoon Don Donald there was a Donna Duck who was very similar to Daisy Created by: Al Taliaferro Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: A sister who is the mother of April, May and June. A brother who according to Don Rosa, is the father of Huey, Dewey and Louie. Spouse: None. She dates Donald Duck. Children: None Other close relatives: April, May and June Duck (nieces), Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (nephews), Matilda and Drusilla (aunts). Occupation: Unknown Member of: A ladies-club in Duckburg. Drives: She is normally transported by Donald or Gladstone.
Born ca. 1920 in Duckburg? We don't know much about her family, but Barks has mentioned two aunts of her Matilda and Drusilla and then that she has a sister who is the mother of her three nieces April, May and June.
As Don Rosa sees it she also has a brother who is the father of Huey, Dewey and Louie. In Don Rosa's view the reason that so many persons are named Duck is that Duck is a rather common name in Duckburg, like Smith or Jones in America.
At some moment Daisy started to write diaries. She probably do so every day. Her involvement with the Ladies-club in Duckburg also seems very important to her. In the Barks classic "A Christmas For Shacktown" her club in an alliance with the Junior Woodchucks, take the responsibility to arrange a Christmas-party for the poorest children in Duckburg.
Daisy is dating Donald, but he has continuous competition from his cousin Gladstone Gander.
Daphne Duck
She grew up at The Duck-farm at the country-side outside Duckburg. Where she lived later together with her family, is unknown. Born: 18?? in Duckburg. Died: 19?? First appearance: In the early 1950s in Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree (by name). 1993 in Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg. Created by: Carl Barks / Don Rosa Father: Humerdink "Grandpa" Duck Mother: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot Siblings: Quackmore Duck (brother) Eider Duck (brother Spouse: Goostave Gander (In Carl Barks' Duck family tree she was actually married to "Luke the Goose" with whom she had one son, Gladstone, who was orphaned when Daphne and Luke overate at a free-lunch picnic. Gladstone was then adopted by Matilda McDuck and Goosetave Gander! In that version of the tree Gus Goose was a nephew of Luke the Goose. However Barks later changed his mind about this matter). Children: Gladstone Gander (son) Other close relatives: Donald Duck (nephew) Della Duck (niece) Occupation: Unknown, since she was born with the same unbelivable luck as her son Gladstone Gander she probably didn't have to work.
There is not much known about Daphne Duck. In The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink Don Rosa shows that on the day she was born a painterman painted a triple Distelfink sign above the barn doors. For some reason that sign provided Daphne with an extreme luck. Some time after 1902 she married Goostave Gander. Together they had one son Gladstone Gander who indeed inherited his mothers luck.
Della Duck
Don Rosa says it's very plausible that her twin-brother Donald nicknamed her "Dumbella" in their young years. Address: Unknown, but she don't live in Duckburg. Born: Ca. 1920 in Duckburg? Died: ? First appearance: On October 17th, 1937 in the Donald Duck newspaper "Sunday page". There she's mentioned by name in a letter where she told Donald that she had sent Huey, Dewey and Louie to stay with him. That letter was signed "you cousin Della". In The early 1950s she was presented in Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree as Donald's sister (then called Thelma Duck). In 1993 she appeared in person (as a little child) in Lo$ part XI - The Empire Builder from Calisota. The same year she was also shown as adult in "Don Rosa's Duck Family Three". Created by: Ted Osborne, Al Taliaferro, Carl Barks, Don Rosa Father: Quackmore Duck Mother: Hortense McDuck Siblings: Donald Duck (twin-brother) Spouse: His name is unknown, but Don Rosa says that he is a brother of Daisy Duck. Children: Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (sons). Other close relatives: Scrooge McDuck (uncle)
Born ca. 1920 as one of two twins. Daughter of $crooge McDuck's sister Hortense McDuck and Quackmore Duck, son of Elvira "Grandma" Duck and her husband Humperdink Duck. Della Duck thus is a descendant from both the Clan McDuck and the Coots.
In 1930 or some time later, she left Duckburg, probably together with her parents. In a young age (around 18-20 years) she married a brother of Daisy Duck with whom she got the triplets Huey, Dewey and Louie. The kids showed a really wild behaviour and when they finally blown a firecracker underneath their fathers chair (and thus sending him to hospital) Della sent them to her brother Donald who was by then living in Duckburg.
Dismal Downs
Dismal Downs is located in the middle of Rannoch More in the western part of central Scotland. First appearance: 1948 in The old Castle's Secret Created by: Carl Barks Description: Dismal Downs is the name of the place where the McDuck castle is located. The entire Dismal Downs area is included in the McDuck estate.
It's known that the clan McDuck lived at Dismal Downs for a very, very long time. But in 1675 "the hound" started to terrorise the area and the clan found it best to flee it's home. The ownership to the estate however was remained on the clan's hands. You can read more about the history of Dismal Downs and The Clan McDuck
Donald Duck
He lives together with his three nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie in a house in Duckburg. Born: Ca. 1920 in Duckburg? Died: ? xFirst appearance: On June 9th, 1934 in the movie "The wise little hen". Created by: Walt Disney Father: Quackmore Duck Mother: Hortense McDuck Siblings: Della Duck (twin-sister) Spouse: None. He dates Daisy Duck. Children: None Other close relatives: Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (nephews) Scrooge McDuck (uncle) Member of: "The Three Caballeros" Occupation: Various. He often work for his uncle, $crooge. Drives: 313, a car he (according to Don Rosa) built himself from spare parts.
Born ca. 1920 as one of two twins. Son of $crooge McDuck's sister Hortense McDuck and Quackmore Duck, son of Elivira "Grandma" Duck and her husband Humperdink Duck. Donald Duck thus is a descendant from both the Clan McDuck and the Coots. In Back To Long Ago! Barks shows that Donald seems to be the rebirth of the 16th century sailor Pintail Duck.
In Lo$ part 11 Don Rosa shows that Donald's first meeting with Scrooge took place in 1930. When the family leaves Scrooge Donald, still a child, for a moment return to his Uncle Scrooge and gives him a kick in his back.
Very little is known about Donald's life from 1930 to the early 1940's. At some point his family leaves Duckburg. If he stayed in Duckburg all the time (at Grandma Duck's farm?) or left with his family, and then returned at later point is still unknown. What we know is that at some time in the mid-1940's his three nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie moved in with him.
Donald Duck has trough the years tried all kinds of jobs without much success. This is though more caused by constant bad luck and stubbornness than a lack of talent. It however seems that his Uncle $crooge always has something for him, like shining his coins.
In An eye for detail and more recently in The Dutchman's Secret Don Rosa shows that Donald is an expert in detecting very small details. This is why he so easily can separate HD&L from each other while for instance the people in "Plain Awful" think that the boys are totally alike each other.
Once Donald built his own car (registered with the number 313) from spare parts. He has used it ever since.
Donald has a rumour for being a "difficult" neighbour. His fights with his neighbour J. Jones are matter of discussions all over Duckburg. Donald is also known for fights with his own cousin Gladstone Gander over Donald's girlfriend Daisy Duck.
In the private Donald raises his three nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, with great success. He's also known as a good cook with pancakes as his speciality.
Downy O'Drake
She used to live in Glasgow, Scotland. Born: 1830 or 1840, probably in Ireland. Died: 1897 in the McDuck Castle at Dismal Downs? First appearance: 1991 in The last of the Clan McDuck. Created by: Don Rosa Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Fergus McDuck Children: Scrooge McDuck Matilda McDuck Hortense McDuck Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: She probably was a housemother. Member of: ? Drives: She probably handed all driving over to her husband Fergus McDuck.
Nothing much is known about Scrooges mother. She was born, probably somewhere in Ireland, in 1830. Her pre-marriage name O'Drake sound Irish. When asked if she's Irish Don Rosa says: "I guess. I was just trying to think up another ducky sounding name, but didn't want to use "Mc" again. Ireland is nearby, and I didn't have any "O'" names yet.".
Latest in 1867 he married Fergus McDuck of the old Scottish clan McDuck.
Her death in 1897 is mentioned in a letter from her husband Fergus addressed to their son Scrooge, in The King of the Klondike from 1992.
Drake Borough
Drake Borough was located where, Duckburg is located today. First appearance: 1989 in His Majesty McDuck. Created by: Don Rosa Description: Drake Borough is the old name of the English settlement which Cornelius Coot renamed Duckburg in 1818.
Drake Borough was the name Sir Francis Drake gave his Settlement in the land of Nova Albion in 1579. In 1818 the place was renamed Duckburg by the hunter Cornelius Coot.
A more detailed presentation of the history of Drake Borough is found at: The lives and times in Duckburg.
Duckburg
Duckburg is located in the state of Calisota at the American Pacific coast. The name Calisota was first mentioned by Barks in 1952 in the story The Gilded Man. Founded: In His Majesty McDuck Don Rosa shows that Duckburg was founded by Cornelius Coot in 1818. Before then the place was called Drake borough. Drake borough was an English settlement founded by Sir Francis Drake in 1579. First appearance: The name Duckburg probably first occurred in the last panel of the Barks story The tight-wire Artist / High-wire Daredevils from 1944. Where a sign along the railway (in the last panel) says "Duckburg 2096 miles". Created by: Carl Barks Description: Duckburgs is a medium sized city. It's not a small town or a village nor is it a big metropolis.
Duckburgs known history started in June 1579 when British colonists and adventurers led by Sir Francis Drake and Malcolm McDuck landed in a land then called Nova Albion (which has later become known as Calisota). Fort Drake Borough (later known as Fort Duckburg was built the same year. The very first commander on Fort Drake Borough was (according to Don Rosa) Malcolm McDuck.
In the 20th century the city has been shaped by it's no.1 citizen Scrooge McDuck.
A detailed presentation of the history of Duckburg is found at The lives and times in Duckburg.
Duckworth
Scrooge's butler and driver in DuckTales. Duckworth is very proper and has an Enlish accent. With his nose lifted in the air he may seem to be a snob, but he is not.
F Fergus McDuck:
He used to live in Glasgow, Scotland. Born: 1830 in Glasgow?, Scotland. Died: 1902 in the McDuck Castle at Dismal Downs. First appearance: In the early 1950's he appeared in (though he was there called Scotty McDuck and was only mentioned by name). 1991 in Of Ducks, Dimes and Destinies. Created by: Carl Barks and Don Rosa Father: "Dirty" Dingus McDuck Mother: Molly Mollard Siblings: Angus "Pothole" McDuck (brother) Jake McDuck (brother) Spouse: Downy O'Drake Children: Scrooge McDuck Matilda McDuck Hortense McDuck Other close relatives: The Clan McDuck Occupation: He was a mill worker in Glasgow. Member of: ? Drives: He had a horse and carrier.
Fergus McDuck was born in Glasgow?, Scotland in 1830 as number two of three siblings. In page 7 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa shows that Fergus worked as a mill worker in Glasgow.
Latest in 1867 he married Downy O'Drake that probably came from Ireland.
His death in the McDuck Castle at Dismal Downs is shown in The Billionaire of Dismal Downs from 1993. Showing the death of a character is very special in a Disney comic. Don Rosa says: "...the death of a character, much less a main character, was something never before seen in an American Disney issue. I knew from the start that the storyline would have to involve the death of $crooge's parents -- and I think I handled the death of his father fairly tastefully by using the final scene in "The ghost and mrs.Muir" as my inspiration. I could hear that glorious Bernard Herrmann score playing in my head as I drew those final panels".
Flintheart Glomgold
He lives in his Money Bin in the Limpopo Valley in South Africa. Born: 18?? Died: 19?? First appearance: 1956 in The Second-richest Duck Created by: Carl Barks Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown, however he seems to be alone. Children: Unknown Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: He is a business man with a rather low morale. Member of: Unknown, however in some stories (not Barks or Rosa) he has been a member of the Billionaires Club in Duckburg. Drives: Various?. Most of the time he has a chauffeur.
When Flintheart Glomgold first appeared in 1956 Barks showed that he lives in the Limpopo Valley in South Africa. However because of was the apartheid system that ruled that country until 1989, many later Duck-story creators have seen away from that fact. However in Lo$, part 6 The Terror of the Transvaal Don Rosa shows that Scroges first meeting with Flintheart was around 1880 when Scrooge went to South Africa in search of gold. In a comment Don Rosa says: "Now, I know we've seen various European Duck stories telling of how $crooge and Flintheart Glomgold were partners in the Yukon, or that Glomgold lives in Duckburg and sits beside $crooge at the "Millionaires' Club"; but we Barks fans all know that $crooge's "evil twin" lives in South Africa. And knowing that this chapter would be set in that region, how could I resist having $crooge encounter "Flinty" in the days before either of them had a dollar (or rand) to their name? Yet notice that $crooge never learns Flintheart's name, since his African rival is unknown and unrecognized by him in their later "first" meeting in "The Second Richest Duck"... On the other hand, we have no indication that Flintheart doesn't already know $crooge in that tale -- in fact, the cool manner in which Flintheart receives $crooge could be inferred as a sign that Flintheart knew who he was, and knew he was on his way to Africa, having met him on the ship coming over... I see Flintheart as a match for $crooge (his youthful inspiration) in every way -- they both started from nothing and made their fortunes by "being sharper than the sharpies and smarter than the smarties"... but the difference is that Flintheart didn't "make it square". He's dishonest, and perhaps downright murderous (as opposed to the Beagle Boys who are more good-natured baddies)".
Barks never said anything about where Flintheart has his origin, so he may have been born in Scotland and emigrated to South Africa at a young age, like $crooge emigrated to America. Anyway, in "The Terror of the Transvaal" Glomgold sasy he's a Boer. Translators have sometimes confused him with John D. Rockerduck.
Fulton Gearloose
Duckburg. Born: 18?? in Duckburg? Died: 19?? First appearance: 1992 in Guardians of the Lost Library (just by name). First appearence in person was in 1993 in Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg. Created by: Don Rosa Father: Ratchet Gearloose Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown Children: Gyro Gearloose (son). Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: Repairman in Duckburg. Member of: He was one of the pioneer members of The Junior Woodchucks. Drives: Like his father and his son he probably had various vehicles which he invented hiself.
In Gyro's First Invention Don Rosa shows that Fulton Gearloose was a repairman who used to repair anything for people, and that he had a workshop in Duckburg which he ran until he handed it over to his son, Gyro in 1952. In Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg, he appear among the very first Junior Woodchucks. His involvement with The Junior Woodchucks is also shown in the Junior Woodchucks museum in he beginning of Guardians of the Lost Library where he is mentioned as the "inventor of the Junior Woodchucks merit badge". Fulton Gearloose as a member of JW in 1902.
G General Snozzie Address: He stays together with The Junior Woodchucks somewhere in Duckburg. Born: Around 1950 in Duckburg? Died: After 1965 in Duckburg? First appearance: 1958 in Dodging Miss Daisy / Spring Cleaning. Created by: Carl Barks Description: He is a bloodhound. Occupation: He is the official bloodhound of The Junior Woodchucks.
General Snozzie is the official bloodhound of the Junior Woodchucks. His nose can detect any substance on command.
In W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N. he does appear as a puppy, so we can assume that he was born around 1950. In The Phantom of Notre Duck we can see that he is still alive in 1965.
Gladstone Gander
He lives in a house in Duckburg. Born: 19?? in Duckburg? Died: ? First appearance: 1948 in Wintertime Wager. Created by: Carl Barks Father: Goosetave Gander Mother: Daphne Duck Siblings: Unknown Spouse: None. He sometimes dates Daisy Duck. Children: None Other close relatives: Occupation: None, he hates to work and lives from anything his extreme luck can give him. Member of: A lazy man's-club in Duckburg? Drives: He usually drives an open car.
There have been some uncertainties connected to the origin of Gladstone Gander. In Carl Barks' first version of the Duck Family Tree which he made for his own reference in the early fifties, Gladstone was the son of Luke the Goose and Daphne Duck, and was later adopted by Matilda McDuck and Goosetave Gander. (Daphne and Luke died by overeating at a free-lunch picnic). Barks probably came up with this because Gladstone had appeared to be related to both Scrooge and Grandma Duck in his stories. It is said that Barks did away with this adoption in a later version of his tree, that isn't published anywhere.
In Don Rosa's version of the family tree, Daphne instead married Goosetave Gander, and they were Gladstone's parents, so there was never any adoption. Even though it's not shown in his family tree, Don Rosa also think that Matilda McDuck instead is married to Ludwig Von Drake.
Barks has shown that Gladstone has tried only one job in his entire life. Afterwards he was so ashamed that he was hiding his salary (one single coin) in a safe that he probably won some time.
In The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink Don Rosa shows that the extreme luck that is connected to Gladstone (and also to his mother Daphne) is caused by a Triple Distelfink sign that old Humperdink Duck hired a man to paint ahead of one of the barn doors the day Daphne was born. On one of his birthdays when he was still a kid (sometime in the 20's), Gladstone was almost hit by a lightning after Donald had him hang after a rope, ahead of the opposite barn door with an upside down Triple Distelfink sign painted ahead of it. Because of this he always experienced an extremely bad luck on each birthday. However this curse was ended when Gladstone was almost hit by another lightning when hanging after a rope (again caused by Donald) ahead of the barn door with the normal Triple Distelfink painted ahead of it. From then on Gladstone has been followed by extremely luck every single day during the entire year.
Goldie O'Gilt
Her last name indicates that her family is of Irish origin. Address: She used to live in Uncle Scrooges old cottage nearby Dawson, Canada together with her tame bear, but in Last sled to Dawson Don Rosa shows that she runs a hotel in Dawson and thus lives there. Born: 18?? in ? Died: 19?? in Dawson? First appearance: 1953 in Back to the Klondike. Created by: Carl Barks (her last name by Don Rosa. Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: None, at least not in the Barks/Rosa Duck-universe. Children: None, at least not in the Barks/Rosa Duck-universe. Other close relatives: In some Italian stories she has a granddaughter called Dickie Duck, but she doesn't exist in the Barks/Rosa Duck-universe. Occupation: She runs a hotel in Dawson. In her younger days she started the place up as the Blackjack Saloon that after a while was improved into the Blackjack Ballroom. Member of: ? Drives: She doesn't seem to have any vehicle.
"Glittering" Goldie O'Gilt is in many ways a mystery. We don't know when or where she was born or why she appears in Dawson if she's not born there. We can however assume that she came to Dawson some time in the mid- or late 1890s, to start a saloon in the hope of profiting from the rush for gold, and perhaps also to find a nice and tough gold-prospector. Based on her last name O'Gilt, we can assume that her ancestors came from Ireland.
In Lo$ part 8 - The King of the Klondike and Hearts of the YukonDon Rosa shows that "Glittering" Goldie O'Gilt was in Dawson in the late 1890's. In Last sled to Dawson he shows that she still lives in the north in the 1950s.

E Eider Duck
He grew up at The Duck-farm at the country-side outside Duckburg. Where he lived later together with his family, is unknown. But it has to be in some distance from Duckburg since he once (in 1944) sent a falcon to his nephew Donald, by postage. Born: 18?? in Duckburg? Died: 19?? First appearance: 1944 in Farragut the Falcon / The fighting Falcon (by name). 1993 in Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg. Created by: Carl Barks / Don Rosa Father: Humerdink "Grandpa" Duck Mother: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot Siblings: Quackmore Duck (brother) Daphne Duck (sister) Spouse: Lulubelle Loon Children: Abner "Whitewater" Duck (son) Fethry Duck (son). This is only for those who think he does exist in the Duck-universe. Don Rosa added him because his publisher said so - not because he wanted to. Other close relatives: Donald Duck (nephew) Della Duck (niece) Gladstone Gander (nephew) Occupation: His occupation is unknown, but it could be something related to birds since he once (in 1944) sent his nephew Donald a falcon.
There is not much known about Eider Duck. Eider Duck was not included in Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree even though Barks already had mentioned him in a story where he sent Donald a falcon. He was later included in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree because Don Rosa (as always) included all Barksian facts).
Sometime after 1902 Eider Duck married Lulubelle Loon and had one son "Abner 'Whitewater' Duck" (Don Rosa says that Fethry Duck doesn't belong in Barks' and his universe, and thus Don Rosa don't regard him as a son of Eider Duck). Where ever Eider Duck and his family are living it is not in Duckburg., because once (in 1944) sent a falcon to his nephew Donald, by postage.
Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot (some times called "Elviry")
Address: She lives atThe Duck-farm at the country-side outside Duckburg, together with her grand-nephew Gus Goose. Born: Ca. 1855 in Duckburg? Died: Before 1970 in Duckburg? First appearance: 1940, on a picture on Donald's wall. 1943, in person. Created by: Al Taliaferro, with his mother-in-law, Donnie M. Wheaton, as the inspiration. Father: Clinton Coot Mother: Gertrude Gadwall Siblings: Casey Coot (brother) In some European stories Uncle Scrooge has wrongly been presented as her brother. Spouse: Humperdink Duck Children: Quackmore Duck (son) Daphne Duck (daughter) Either Duck (son) Other close relatives: Gus Goose (grand nephew) Occupation: Housemother and farmer. Member of: ? Drives: An old Detroit Electric, sometimes she also drives a tractor.
Born ca. 1855 in Duckburg? as the oldest of two siblings. She was sometime around 1873-1875 married to Humperdink Duck. They lived at a farm outside Duckburg. Together they had 3 children, Quackmore, Daphne and Either. They used to be called Mother and Father Duck, later that changed, off natural causes, to Grandma and Grandpa Duck.
Some time after Scrooge McDuck first appeared in Duckburg in 1902 she sold him most of her land except for the farm.
At some point after 1920 her husband Humperdink died and left her a widow. After that she ran the farm by herself. At some point her brother Casey's daughter's son Gus Goose started to "help" her at the farm.
Grandma Duck is in many ways the head of the Duck-family. She is normally the one who arranges the family's Christmas celebrations and she's known as an excellent cook with pies as one of many specialities.
Grandma Duck died in Duckburg? before 1970 at a very high age.
H Hortense
Address: She used to stay together with Scrooge in Montana, Indonesia and other places. Born: Around 1880 in Montana, USA? Died: After 1890 First appearance: 1992 in Lo$, part 3 The Bucharoo of the Badlands. Created by: Don Rosa. Description: She was a horse. Of nature she was somewhat wild, but Scrooge managed to tame her very well. Don Rosa has also shown that she was very clever.
Hortense is the horse, by then called "The Widow Maker", on which scrooge was tested when he was to be hired as a Cowboy by Murdo MacKenzie in 1882. The reason Scrooge wasn't thrown of the horse immediately was that his money-belt was hanged up in the saddle. Scrooge tamed her and renamed her Hortense after his youngest sister (he said they had the same bad temper).
In the period from 1882-1885 she followed Scrooge everywhere, first on the Texas-Montana Trail, then to Indonesia and finally back to Montana.
In 1885 Scrooge returned to Scotland in a hurry. Whatever happened to Hortense when Scrooge was absent in the years from 1885 to 1889 is still unknown. One possibility though, is that she stayed with her previous owner and Scrooges former boss, Murdo MacKenzie.
When Scrooge returned to America in 1889 he and Hortense was reunited and appear together in 1890 in The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff.
Hortense has not been seen since Scrooge left his Uncle Angus after the adventure in Bluff. Her further faith is thus unknown.
Hortense McDuck
Address: After leaving Scotland she lived in Duckburg at least until 1930. What happened to her after that is of yet unknown. Since Donald is the only family member shown in histories covering the period after 1930 one can assume that she and the rest of the family, left Duckburg some time after leaving Scrooge in 1930. Perhaps she and her husband Quackmore live at the same place as their daughter Della and her husband. Born: 1876 in Glasgow, Scotland? Died: 19?? First appearance: The early 1950s in Carl Barks' Duck Family Tree (by name). 1991 in Lo$ part I - The last of the Clan McDuck (in person). Created by: Carl Barks / Don Rosa Father: Fergus McDuck Mother: Downy O'Drake Siblings: Scrooge McDuck (brother) Matilda McDuck (sister) Spouse: Quackmore Duck Children: Donald Duck (son) Della Duck (daughter) Other close relatives: Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (grandsons) Occupation: We don't know much about her, but it seems that she often worked for her brother $crooge in her younger days. Later on she probably was a house-mother. Member of: ? Drives: She has never been seen driving any vehicle, perhaps her housband Quackmore handled the driving?
Hortense McDuck was born in Glasgow, Scotland? in 1876 as the youngest of three siblings. She was thus a very young child when her 9 years older brother Scrooge left Scotland for America. But even then she had developed her image - a somewhat wild mood. So when Scrooge got a horse with a wild temper in America he named it after her.
In 1902 she left Scotland and went to America together with the rest of her siblings. On her way to America she dreamt about meeting nice American cowboys. When the McDucks first arrived in Duckburg she was a bit disappointed that there were no cowboys there. Soon after her arrival in Duckburg she however met Quackmore Duck (a descendant of The founder of Duckburg, Cornelius Coot) with a temper very similar to her own. In The Sharpie of the Culebra Cut Don Rosa shows that she was still very interested in "cowboys" during her, Scrooges and Matildas stay in Panama in 1906. In the beginning of Lo$ part XI - The Empire-Builder from Calisota that takes place in 1908 Don Rosa shows that she and Quackmore Duck were engaged. They finally were married some years later.
In The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff and in The Dutchman's Secret Don Rosa shows that Hortense used to paste photos, etc. into some photo books.
From 1902 to 1930 she and Matilda worked for Scrooge. Around 1908 while Scrooge was abroad they hired Miss Emily Quackfaster as Scrooges new secretary.
When Scrooge finally returned to Duckburg in 1930 she and the rest of the family prepared for nice reunion, but because of Scrooges unpleasant behaviour when he returned she, and the rest of the family left him...
Whatever happened to Hortense, Quackmore and their kids after that incident is for the mostly unknown. What we know is that Donald appeared in Duckburg in the 1940's and that Della lived elsewhere.
Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck.
Address: He used to sail on the seven seas. Born: Around 1710 in Scotland? Died: 1776 in the war? First appearance: In the Barks classic Chisel McSue and the Horse Radish Treasure from 1953. Created by: Carl Barks Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown Children: Unknown Other close relatives: The Clan McDuck Occupation: He used to be an officer at sea. Member of: ? Drives: When he was ashore he was probably riding a Horse.
Capt. Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck was born around 1710. He grew wealthy sailing his "Golden Goose" on the trade route to the West Indies! But in 1753 one Swindle McSue tricked him into a contract to deliver some horse radish to Jamaica - then scuttled the "Goose"! Seafoam forfeited the McDuck home and belongings to McSue, and escaped with only the heirloom watch in his pocket, and the golden dentures in his mouth!
According to Don Rosa, "Seafoam" died in 1776, perhaps in the Anglo-American war.
Humperdink "Grandpa" Duck
Address: He used to live at The Duck-farm at the country-side outside Duckburg, together with his family. Don Rosa says that it was Grandma Duck's family, the Coots, who owned the farm before that, so Humperdink must have come from elsewhere. Where he came from is however still unknown. Born: Since he was a father in 1875 he must have been born before 1860. Died: Unknown, but in The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink Don Rosa shows that he was still alive in the mid 1920s. It however seems that Grandma Duck is a widow by 1940. First appearance: 1993 in Lo$ part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg. Created by: Don Rosa Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot Children: Quackmore Duck (son) Daphne Duck (daughter) Eider Duck (son) Other close relatives: Gus Goose (grand nephew) Occupation: Farmer. Member of: Perhaps a farmers assoiation? Drives: Perhaps he was the first one to drive the old Detroit Electric, Grandma Duck later drives. In the Dutch version of Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree he is shown driving a tractor.
There is not much known about Humerdink Duck. He was born before 1860 and married latest in 1875 to Elvira Coot, daughter of Clinton Coot, and granddaughter of Cornelius Coot the founder of Duckburg. The farm they took over belonged to her family so he must have come from elsewhere. He is shown alive in the mid 1920s, but seems to be dead before 1940. When it comes to his origin Don Rosa says that the Duck family came from the British Isles, probably England.
M McDuck, Angus "Pothole"
He used to live nearby the Mississippi-river in the USA. Born: 1829 in Glasgow, Scotland. Died: 19?? in New Orleans, USA. First appearance: 1955 in The Great Steamboat Race Created by: Carl Barks. Father: "Dirty" Dingus McDuck. Mother: Molly Mollard. Siblings: Fergus McDuck (brother) Jake McDuck (brother). Occupation: He used to be a riverboater on the Mississippi. Later on he arranged western-shows. He used to sail a steamboat on the Mississippi.
J Jake McDuck
Address: It seems that he used to live in Scotland. Born: 1832 in Glasgow?, Scotland. Died: 19?? in Scotland? First appearance: He was first mentioned in 1952 in the Barks classic A Christmas For Shacktown when Donald went to Scrooge dressed as him, in the hope that Scrooge would give him some money for a toy-train for the poor children in Shacktown. Donald's attempt failed because Scrooge remembered that his uncle Jake once borrowed some money from him and had never paid back. Created by: Carl Barks Father: "Dirty" Dingus McDuck Mother: Molly Mollard Siblings: Angus "Pothole" McDuck (brother) Fergus McDuck (brother) Spouse: None Children: None Other close relatives: The Clan McDuck Occupation: He was a stockyard hand in Glasgow?
Jake McDuck was born in Glasgow?, Scotland in 1832 as the youngest of three siblings. In page 7 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa shows that Jake worked as a stockyard hand, probably in Glasgow.
In page 7 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa shows that Jake never married.
Jake McDuck died, probably somewhere in Scotland, sometime after 1900.
John D. Rockerduck
Address: He lives in Duckburg. Born: From Lo$, part 4 The Raider of the Copper Hill it seems that John must have been born sometime in the second half of the 1870's. In Of Ducks, Dimes and Destinies Don Rosa shows that his father Howard Rockerduck looked for girls in Glasgow in 1877 and that he returned to the USA without success. This means that his father probably, was still single at that time. He must however have married soon after. John is thus probably born around 1878 in the USA. Died: 19?? First appearance: 1961 in Boat Buster Created by: Carl Barks Father: Howard Rockerduck Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: None Children: None Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: He is a business man with a rather low morale. Member of: He is a member of the Billionaires Club in Duckburg. Drives: Various?. Most of the time he has a chauffeur.
The Duckburg billionaire John D. Rockerduck doesn't appear often in the stories of Barks and Rosa, but he has become a major character in the Italian Duck Universe. Don Rosa has shown that the very first meeting between Rockerduck and Scrooge took place in Anaconda, Montana in 1885. In a comment about this Don Rosa says:
"In my story I try to show Rockerduck as being quite different from $crooge (and Flintheart Glomgold, for that matter) in that he inherited all his wealth rather than working for it like $crooge and Flinty. I also make John a few years younger than $crooge so that I can further insult him by having his own father, Howard Rockerduck, be one of the long line of mentors from whom $crooge gains advice in the course of my series."
José "Joe" Carioca
Address: Vila Xurupita in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Born: 19?? in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Died: ? xFirst appearance: 1943 in the Disney movie Saludos Amigos. Created by: Walt Disney Studios Introduction to the Barks/Rosa universe: He was introduced to the Barks/Rosa universe by Don Rosa in 2000 in the story The Three Caballeros ride again. Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: He has two nephews, Zico and Zeca, so, we can imagine that he has at least one brother, or sister. Spouse: None, but some sources mention a girlfriend called Rosinha ("Little Rose") a.k.a. Aurora Children: None Other close relatives: Some sources mentiones two nephews Zico and Zeca and a lot off counsins, every one from a specifc region in Brazil: Zé Paulista (from São Paulo) Zé Queijinho (from Minas Gerais) Zé Pampeiro (from Rio Grande do Sul) Zé de Itu (from a city called "Itu", on the countryside off São Paulo, were everything is "big", including Carioca's cousin) Zé Baiano (from Bahia) Zé Jandaia (from the north off the country) Occupation: He is an Entertainer. In Brazil, he usually don't do NOTHING! He HATE working! Member of: "The Three Caballeros" Drives: ? Other information: José Carioca was created during World War II as a part of an American campaign to gain goodwill in Latin America. His first name is believed to have been inspired by the popular Brazilian cartoonist José Carlos de Britto e Cunha. His last name, Carioca, is a Brazilian word used to describe a native of Rio de Janeiro. José Carioca has become very popular in Brazil where he is now called Zé for short.
Paul Murry drew his firsts comic strips and after the War he disappeared from the USA .He was reintroduced in Brazil, on the covers off "Pato Donald"during the 50's by Luis Destuet, that came from Argentina to teach the Brazilian drawers how to draw the Disney style. Jorge Jato was the first Brazilian Disney drawer, and the "ZĂ© Carioca"comic came in the 60's. After Kato, Waldyr Igayara carried the first Carioca comics. Later Herrero, Renato Canini, ClĂĄudio de Souza, ElĂ Leon, Euclides Miyaura, Arthur Faria Jr, Fukue, Paulo Borges, Aluir AmĂąncio, GĂ©rson Borlotti Teixeira, Aparecido Norberto, Ătila de Carvalho and lot's off others Brazilian writters and drawers have carried the Carioca's Brazilian comics up today. The best off all: Renato Canini, that draws the most cartooning, and the most realistic ZĂ© Carioca off all!.
In 1945 José "Joe" Carioca formed the trio "The Three Caballeros" together with his good friends Panchito and Donald Duck. In the late 1950's he appeared in Mexico where he worked as an entertainer and looked for pretty women. During those days "The three caballeros" were reunited.
K Kill Motor Hill
is located in, Duckburg. First appearance: 1951 in The Big Bin on Killmotor Hill. Created by: Carl Barks Description: It is the hill on where Sir Francis Drake built his Fort Drake Borough in 1579 and where Scrooge McDuck raised his Money Bin in 1902.
Kill Motor Hill has been a very central place during the entire history of Duckburg, In 1579 Sir Francis Drake built his fort on top of the hill which at one point was named "Kill Mule Hill". When it comes to the origin of the old name of the hill, "Kill Mule Hill", Don Rosa says: Barks named the hill that the Money Bin sits on as "Killmotor Hill" in the story where he first used the Money Bin. I decided in the "Life of $crooge" that it must have had a different name in the 18th and 19th centuries before they invented cars.
In 1902 Scrooge McDuck tried to drive his car to the top of the hill, but that effort was too much for the car's motor and it stopped. Immediately after that incident Humperdink Duck renamed the hill and gave it its present name. During a period of six months the same year Scrooge raised his Money Bin on the hill.
A more detailed presentation of the history of Duckburg is found at: The lives and times in Duckburg.
T The Helper
Address: He stays together with Gyro Gearloose in a house or perhaps in Gyro's workshop in Duckburg. Constructed: 1952 in Duckburg. First appearance: 1956 in The Cat Box. Created by: Carl Barks Description: He (it) is a kind of microbot. Invented by: Gyro Gearloose with some help from Donald Duck. "Siblings": Gyro once made a big helper. Occupation: He (it) is Gyro Gearlooses' mechanical helping hand.
In Gyro's First Invention Don Rosa shows that the Helper was constructed in 1952. He is built out of a lamp previous owned by Donald Duck. Some mysterious way the lamp became alive and intelligent when Donald accidentally hit Gyro in his head with it so that Gyro's head hit his unfinished mindbox. Later Gyro gave the main part of the lamp mechanical legs and arms so that it could be able to cross obstacles. To avoid vibrations while moving it was also equipped with dolls shoes (The same type Gyro had previously done for April, May and June), and finally Donald put on a light-bulb so that it could light up it's surroundings.
Don Rosa also shows that the Helpers first mission was to enter the badger's hole where $crooge previously (in the Barks classic A Christmas For Shacktown) used a toy-train to get back his money.
In The Duck Who Never Was. Don Rosa indicates that the Helper needs some kind of maintenance from Gyro to function. In some stories by Barks, the Helper switches his light-bulb himself, so this necessary maintenance is probably some kind of energy-transmission.
In The Once and Future Duck Don Rosa shows that the Helper was the one that drew King Arthur's sword "Excalibur" out of the stone.
L Ludwig Von Drake
Address: He lives in Duckburg. Born: 18?? in Vienna, Austria? Died: 19?? First appearance: 1961 on television, in An Adventure in Color. Created by: ? Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: According to Don Rosa he is married to Scrooges sister Matilda McDuck Children: Unknown Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: He is an intelligent professor and a Scientist. Member of: ? Drives: He probably has a car.
Ludwig Von Drake is very seldom used by Carl Barks and Don Rosa, and there is nothing much known about him. What we know is that he is said to be an Austrian from Vienna and that he is a professor. He is usually seen as Donald's uncle. In Don Rosa's view he is that by being married to Scrooge's sister "Matilda McDuck", but he wasn't allowed by his publisher, to show that on his Duck Family Tree.
M Magica De Spell
Address: She lives at Mt. Vesuvio, Italy together with her black raven. Born: Unknown Died: ? First appearance: 1961 in The Midas Touch Created by: Carl Barks Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: None Children: None Other close relatives: Unknown Occupation: She's a sorceress. Member of: Sometimes she seems to be a member of an association for witches and sorcerers. Drives: She flies a broom.
Ever since Magica for the very first time, walked into Scrooges office in 1961, Scrooges first dime has been in the utmost danger. The reason for this is that Magica all the time tries to steal the dime in order to melt it, and create an amulet that she expects will make her the richest person in the world.
In Of Ducks, Dimes and Destinies from 1991 Don Rosa shows that the very first meeting between Magica and Scrooge took place in Glasgow in 1877 at the moment Scrooge earned his first coin. This happened because Magica used a time candle to go back in time.
When it comes to the question if Magica is a witch or a sorceress Don Rosa says: "I (and Egmont-editor Byron Erickson) regard Magica as a totally normal "human being" who dabbles in sorcery using spells and potions, but has no supernatural abilities of her own without such tools. That was Barks' original version."
Malcolm McDuck.
Address: He used to sail on the seven seas. Born: Around 1530 in Scotland? Died: After 1579 First appearance: In the Barks classic Back To Long Ago! from 1956 there is mentioned a Matey McDuck that can be seen as his first appearance. The name Malcolm McDuck is probably first used in 1991 in some unpublished sketches by Don Rosa. Created by: Carl Barks and Don Rosa Father: Unknown Mother: Unknown Siblings: Unknown Spouse: Unknown Children: Unknown Other close relatives: The Clan McDuck Occupation: He used to be an officer at sea and became the very first commander of Fort Drake Borrough in 1579. Member of: ? Drives: When he was ashore he was probably riding a Horse.
Malcolm McDuck was born around 1530.
In the Barks classic Back To Long Ago! from 1956 there is mentioned a Matey McDuck who was a British naval officer in the Caribbean. Once Matey McDuck and a sailor named Pintail Duck buried a treasure that actually consisted of potatoes. In that same story Barks also shows that Matey McDuck seems to have been reborn as Scrooge McDuck.
And In page 5 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa mentions that "Records show that in the 1560's a McDuck served aboard the HMS "Falcon Rover" under Capt. Loyal Hawk as he raided the Spanish Caribbean trade routes!"
Once Don Rosa have said that Malcolm McDuck died in 1564, but in pages 5 and 6 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ he shows that in 1579 Malcolm McDuck sailed together with Sir Francis Drake as the "first mate" of "The Golden Hind". Shortly after he became the first commander of the new Fort Drake Borough and thus became the first McDuck in what later became known as Duckburg.
The easiest explanation of all this is to see Matey and Malcolm McDuck as two separate McDucks, probably brothers who both went to sea. Matey drowned when "The Falcon" sunk in 1564 and Malcolm died sometime after he ended up in Drake Borough in 1579.

đ The Global Network đJunior Woodchucks The Junior Woodchucks of the World emblem. It is based on the acronym of the organization's name and an upside down version of the image of Thoth, the Egyptian God of Knowledge, that was used by the Guardians of the Library of Alexandria.[1] The Junior Woodchucks of the World are the Scouting organization to which the Disney characters Huey, Dewey, and Louie belong. The Junior Woodchucks were created by Carl Barks in 1951, in the story "Operation St. Bernhard" (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #125). Later stories introduced a similar organization for girls, the Littlest Chickadees, to which Daisy Duck's nieces, April, May and June belong. The hallmark of the Junior Woodchucks is their spirited dedication to environmental protection and animal welfare, as well as the preservation of knowledge and the furtherance of science. They are also known for their exalted titles and ranks (Huey, Dewey, and Louie being promoted to become Ten-Star Generals in the 1951 story of the same name) and the awarding of buckets of badges, along with severe ideals as to decorum. In this way Barks poked gentle but pointed satire at aspects of the Boy Scouts of America. Junior Woodchucks always carry with them a copy of the Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook, a fictional guidebook filled with detailed and pertinent information about whatever country or situation the Woodchucks find themselves. Its depth of coverage is remarkable, considering that it is a small paperback book. Don Rosa wrote and drew a story regarding the origin of the Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook, "Guardians of the Lost Library", which Comics Buyer's Guide mentioned as possibly the greatest comic book story of all time. Rosa's later story W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N. tells of how Huey, Dewey, and Louie came to join the Junior Woodchucks. In 1971 Carl Barks drew a model sheet of the nephews, with some of the drawings showing them in their Junior Woodchuck uniforms, for the Disney studio's publications department.[2] Most of the early Junior Woodchucks stories appeared in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories. They also appeared in Donald Duck and in Uncle Scrooge. In 1966, they got their own title, Huey, Dewey, and Louie and the Junior Woodchucks, published by Gold Key Comics for 62 issues, and then continued by Whitman Comics for another 20 issues until 1983. The stories which Carl Barks wrote for this comic book, among the last comic book stories he scripted, were drawn by Kay Wright, John Carey and Tony Strobl. More recently Daan Jippes has been commissioned by Egmont to redraw these stories emulating Barks' style and drawing inspiration from the sketches of Barks' storyboard-like scripts. Disney Comics published a Junior Woodchucks four issue mini series in 1991. History History of the Junior Woodchucks from "W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N." by Don Rosa (1997). (Edited image) In the story W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N. by Don Rosa the history of the Junior Woodchucks of the World begins with the Woodchuck Militia, a defensive army unit that was formed by Cornelius Coot in the early 19th century to protect Fort Duckburg from Native Americans and other threats in the area. Clinton Coot, the son of Cornelius Coot, was the founder of the Junior Woodchucks as a Scouting organization for the children around Duckburg at the time to uphold the ideals of doing good deeds, protection of the wild lands and the preservation of knowledge. The organization eventually grew larger to include all the nations around the world. The first Junior Woodchucks were Grand Marshal Osborne and Exalted Overseer Taliaferro (a reference to Ted Osborn and Al Taliaferro) and Fulton Gearloose, the father of Gyro Gearloose. Organization With its predecessor being a militia, The Junior Woodchucks is very militaristic in its organization with the leadership being much more similar to army officers than to real-life Scoutmasters and the scout groups are called Troops in which titles like Trooper, Lieutenant-General, Field Marshal and Ten-Star General include. Alongside self-reliance,[3] also trust and honor is important to the Junior Woodchucks; as its members never lies. For instance when Huey, Dewey and Louie promised the inhabitants of the secret sunken city of Atlantis to never reveal their city's location to the outside world.[4] As the title of the Junior Woodchucks of the World suggest, it is an international organization and has Troops all around the globe, including Arabia (which consist of Desert Patrol nr. 646),[5] Brazil (which consist of the Rio de Janeiro Troops)[6] and the Duckburg Troops of the United States. Leadership The I.T.S.A.A.D.C.O.T.F.O.I.K., from Carl Barks' "The Chickadee Challenge" (1955). The adult leadership of the Junior Woodchucks consists of Troop leaders (or Grand Moguls in European comics) whom often has elaborate, grand and long acronymized titles which demonstrates their ranking position and professional field. They have also been called Generals in a few stories by Carl Barks. The Troop leaders' uniforms is militaristic in design and is often white in color with richly decorated gold embroideries; with their headgear often being a woodchuck cap[3] or other types of military headwear. They are also often wearing a large number of meritorious and elaborate medals, badges and ribbons which makes them look very dignified and grandiose, and in some cases extremely pompous. Only Junior Woodchucks can later become Troop leaders.[1] Again, according to Don Rosa's story W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N. the Junior Woodchucks of the World is governed by the Supreme Council; which is probably part of the World Office of the Junior Woodchucks, which is the organization's top office.[7] The council consists of nine high-ranking members whom collectively is called the B.I.G.S.H.OT.S. (Bureaucratic and Imposing Gathering of Supreme High Officials of the Topmost Strata) with the H.E.A.D.H.O.N.C.H.O. (Highest Executive Administrator of Divisional Headquarters and Organizer of Nearly Complete Hierarchical Overkill) as the head of the council. The Supreme Council is located in the Junior Woodchucks' World Headquarter in the City of Duckburg.[8] However other high ranking titles of uncertain position in leadership has been used within the organization in stories by Carl Barks and others. Some of these include Commander-in-Chief[9] and Exalted Grand Marshal.[3] A few other acronymized titles within the Junior Woodchucks' leadership include: I.T.S.A.A.D.C.O.T.F.O.I.K. (International Twelve-Star Admiral And Deputy Custodian Of The Fountain Of Inexhaustible Knowledge), a very high ranking title which also seem to have some authority over the Littlest Chickadees patrol in the story The Chickadee Challenge (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #181) written and drawn by Carl Barks, by declaring the bridge-building challenge between the two organisations as a tie; suggesting that the Littlest Chickadees is somehow part of or associated with the Junior Woodchuck of the World in some way. H.I.S.T.O.R.Y.N.U.T. (Hypercritical Inquiring Seeker into Tales of Old and Rumors of Yore, as well as Noser-outer of Unprovable Tommyrot) T.O.P.B.R.A.S.S. (Thunderbolt of Omniscient Perspicacity and Boss Ramrod of Abounding Succor Spreaders) O.G.U.F.O.O.L. and M.A.S.L.L.B.P.C.M. (Omnipotent Giver of Unimpeachably Full-bodied Observations on Omniscient Logic and Mighty Admirable Sachem of the Long Limousine and Benevolent Paver of the Clubhouse Mortgage) H.I.S.S. and P.O.A.H.M. (Hardheaded Intuitive Sagacity Spreader and Possessor Of All Hiss Marbles) J.A.W.B.O.N.E. (Judicious, Abstruse, Wise Bestower of Neolithic Edification). This title is held by the duckbill character Philodemus Gentlefogg of Duckburg Burrow Number 22, seen in The Junior Woodchucks story Let Sleeping Bones Lie (Uncle Scrooge #358). On few occasions Donald Duck has taken on the role as a Troop leader (although in Don Rosa's story W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N., Donald is revealed to never having been allowed to join the Junior Woodchucks on account of his "hot temper"), or by Launchpad McQuack in the DuckTales TV-series. In a large number of stories, including the last ones written by Carl Barks, the Duckburg Troop leader is a tall duck, who is either the same character in every story with many different titles depending on the situation or separate characters. In some Italian stories the Troop leader of the Duckburg Troop is a tall, strong and wise (but afraid of flight) goose whose name is Bertie McGoose. Troops Huey, Dewey and Louie as Ten Star Generals, from Carl Barks' story "Ten-Star Generals" (1951). To become a full member of the Junior Woodchucks and be assigned to a local Troop one must first enlist as cadets, who uses no-tails woodchuck caps, and pass an initiation test that proves one's intelligence and resourcefulness.[8] After one has passed this test and become a full member, the headgear of the uniform consist of a backtail woodchuck cap and for higher-ranking members; the Exalted Hightail woodchuck cap. Within the Troops there is also leadership titles inspired by the army, in which Major seems to be the lowest rank followed by higher ranking titles like Ten-Star General; which is one grade below Exalted Hightail.[10] Don Rosa has written that One-Hundred-Star General is the highest title in the Junior Woodchucks; after which promotees can proceed to earn titles above the highest ranks.[8] Holders of these titles can issue orders to lower ranking members.[7] To earn titles and get promotions in rank one have to pass tests or missions of which there is a vast number and in various fields. These include outdoors and survival skills, science and environmental protection etc. With these promotions, Junior Woodchucks receive a large number of honorific and elaborate medals, badges and ribbons in the specific field that one has mastered. All the different Troops also has its own clubhouse as a base of operation and for gatherings. The most prestigious Troop to belong to was the Duckburg Troop Nr. 1 as it was the first to be created during the time of Clinton Coot and it only admitted high-ranking members from other local Troops.[8] The best known members of the Duckburg Troop Nr. 1 consist of: Ten-Star Generals[3]/ Exalted Hightails,[10] Commandants of the Hightails' Hall of Heroes,[10] Chevaliers of the Honor Guard[7] (etc.) Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck Field Marshal Fox Trooper Hogg, a character together with Field Marshal Fox most often appears in Carl Barks' later Junior Woodchucks stories and also in the modern stories by later writers and artists. Lieutenant-General Holsworthy Hog, appears in Gladstone's Usual Very Good Year (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #136), by Carl Barks. General Snoozie General Snoozie is the Official Hound of the Junior Woodchucks and was created by Carl Barks in his story Dodging Miss Daisy from 1958.[11] General Snoozie is a bloodhound occasionally deployed by the Junior Woodchucks during tests or missions and he has many skills but his main attribute and discipline is his extraordinary, and at times incomprehensibly, good scent tracking. He also has a number of acronymized titles which include: D.O.G. (Doctor of Odd-ball Gimmickry), S.S.S.S. (Supremely Sagacious Spoor Sniffer), and K.I.N.G. (Knightly, Intrepid, Natatorial Guardian). General Snoozie also has a Ph.D., B.Sc., and Ed.D. In a later story written by Barks and drawn by Daan Jippes, General Snoozie was replaced by Pluto as a tracking dog.[12] The Littlest Chickadees The Littlest Chickadees, sometimes also called the Chickadee Patrols, are female counterparts to the Junior Woodchucks. The Chickadees first appeared in "The Chickadee Challenge," a Carl Barks Donald Duck story in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #161 (1954). The Chickadees' Duckburg patrol is led by a brawny woman named Captain Ramrod. Daisy Duck's nieces April, May, and June Duck are members of the Chickadees. The Chickadees are named after the chickadee, a species of small bird; the phrase "littlest chickadee" also suggests "my little chickadee", a term of endearment classically used by W. C. Fields. The Chickadee Patrols are based to some extent on the Girl Scouts of the USA and the Campfire Girls. In the spirit of friendly rivalry, the Duckburg Troops of the Littlest Chickadees and Junior Woodchucks once held a bridge-building competition, which ended in a tie. Carl Barks wrote a poem which mentions the rivalry between the two groups: The world is full of clans and cults Abuzz as angry bees And Junior Woodchucks snapping jeers At Littlest Chickadees The Little Booneheads The Little Booneheads is another Scouting organization alongside the Junior Woodchucks, first mentioned in Ten-Stars Generals (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #132, 1951) by Carl Barks. They are however often depicted to be much more insufficient, and at times even negligent, in their outdoors and survival skills in contrast to the high standards of the Junior Woodchucks. In the Little Booneheads first appearance, it was revealed that Donald Duck was a former member, and thanks to the organization's inferior training, Donald is often getting into trouble for practicing them again. Alongside being a pun of the term "bonehead", the Little Booneheads is also a reference to the pioneer and explorer Daniel Boone; as Donald proclaims: "We had heads like Daniel Boone!".[3] Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook The Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook and Reservoir of Inexhaustible Knowledge,[13][8] or the Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook or Woodchuck book for short, appears to contain information and advice on every possible subject. Huey, Dewey, and Louie frequently consult a volume of the set to get themselves and their uncles Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck out of dangerous situations (see deus ex machina). It was first mentioned in The Secret of Atlantis by Carl Barks in 1954, then called the Junior Woodchucks' Book of Knowledge. Its history was later discussed in Guardians of the Lost Library by Don Rosa in 1993. According to the cartoonist Don Rosa, this book was written by the Guardians of the lost Library of Alexandria, compiling the essence of all the knowledge that was unique to the Library. It was later found by Cornelius Coot who gave the book to his son Clinton Coot who, in turn, was inspired to found The Junior Woodchucks as a continuation of the Guardians of the Library. One story that is not by Don Rosa says that the Guidebook is updated by an unknown author.[14] The Woodchuck book seems almost magical in its breadth of information; it almost never fails to provide the required information and yet is small enough to fit into a Junior Woodchuck's backpack. In particular, the Guidebook contains information on lost treasure, a complete survival guide, extensive historical and technical information and phrase books for various more or less common languages (like a minimal lizard phrase book), and many more. However, it does not contain information that a Junior Woodchuck is already supposed to know, such as the location of Cape of Good Hope nor does it contain information on allegedly non-existent things. (In one episode of Duck Tales, the three nephews faced a dragon and when they consulted the Guidebook, the entry on dragons read that since dragons did not exist, there was no reason to include information on them. However, in the story on which that episode was based, the guidebook did have an entry on dragons. And, in a story which appeared in Uncle Scrooge entitled "The Golden Fleecing" the ducklings looked up the question, how to put a dragon to sleep, and found the answer, Pull the wool over his eyes. The boys then covered the dragon's eyes with the Golden Fleece, which they had just discovered by going to Colchis on the Argo and obtaining it from the Harpies.) On the other hand, the Guidebook does have information on Martian technology, despite the fact that in the DuckTales universe Martians had not been discovered when the book was printed. It is missing only one fact: The ranking order of the original Knights Templar, plus one discovered in an ancient Xanadu manuscript. In short, it is a minimal encyclopedia (although the subset of articles is extraordinarily well-chosen), available only to Junior Woodchucks. Information is readily available by searching the extensive index; a key skill of a Junior Woodchuck is being able to retrieve information quickly from the Woodchuck book in the midst of a dangerous situation, such as a bear attack, an earthquake, falling out of an airplane sans parachute, or being swallowed by a crocodile. However, in one Carl Barks story, it took the ducklings so long to look up a lifesaving question, it was almost too late. Scrooge subsequently offered to buy the Junior Woodchucks a better index for the Guidebook. Just as the Junior Woodchucks are based on the Boy Scouts of America, their Guidebook is inspired by the Boy Scout Handbook. The real Handbook (at least in the 1950s) was the same size as the Guidebook and was believed by all Scouts to contain all necessary information. In this respect, the almost limitless and sometimes esoteric knowledge the Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook offers is a gently satirical comment on the "Scout Bible", as the original Scouting For Boys by Baden-Powell was sometimes known, a book giving advice on a vast range of subjects, including "Smoking", "How The Empire Must be Held", "Courtesy To Women", and "How to Revive A Suicide".[15] That guide was the inspiration for the "Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook" (Il Manuale delle Giovani Marmotte), a series of several Disney books with tips, advice, general culture, and curious facts about nature and life, released in Italy by Mondadori in seven volumes between 1969 and 1974, and later translated into several languages.

When interacting with early humans, they posed as beneficent protective gods, eventually giving rise to the Norse mythology on Earth.
Part of the Alliance of Four Great Races, they were among the most advanced races in the known universe, matched only by the Ancients, the Nox, and possibly the Furlings (not including the Planet Builders). They assumed the role of protectors of the Milky Way galaxy and later passed that role down to the Tau'ri, to whom they gifted all of their knowledge and technology. (SG1: "Thor's Hammer", "Thor's Chariot", "The Fifth Race", "Unending")
Contents Physiology Cloning History Early history 30,000 years ago 10,000 years ago Past to the current era The Replicators After the Replicators Extinction Pegasus Galaxy Society High Council Interaction with other races Language Technology Military tactics Protected Planets Treaty Grey alien myth Known Asgard Known colonies Behind the scenes References External links Site Navigation Physiology "My body does not possess the adrenal gland that produces epinephrine in your system." âHermiod[src] Over 30,000 years ago, the Asgard were a tall (approximately 2m), generally humanoid species that reproduced sexually. Their physical forms changed gradually when they began to use scientific means to artificially extend their lifespans. The "modern" Asgard averaged about one meter in height, with grayish skin tones, small, skinny limbs, large heads and black eyes (bearing a striking resemblance to the "Roswell Grays" described in countless UFO stories). Their body, now weakened by several millennia of cloning, is more susceptible to the discharge of a zat'nik'tel than other races (Loki fell almost immediately while most human and Jaffa stand for a moment).
When individuals spoke, the areas above what would be the temples on a Human would slowly pulse in and out.
The species possessed no adrenaline glands within their bodies and did not have epinephrine pumping through their lymphatic system. (SGA: "Allies")
Cloning "I mean, all they wanted to do was live a little longer. We're no different. Sequence DNA. Cure diseases. One fatal mistake, and they doom their entire race." âDaniel Jackson[src]
Goa'uld crystals containing Thor's consciousness.
The Asgard, pursuing means of extending their lifespans, began to use cloning technology. The mental patterns of Asgard that became ill or fatally injured were preserved by "downloading" them into computer memory crystals. The patterns were later placed in a new cloned body. This made the Asgard effectively immortal at the cost of the ability to reproduce sexually. This prevented the natural process of evolution, making Ascension impossible without assistance. (SG1: "Unending")
The excessive use of the cloning process began to damage and degrade the Asgard genome. This would result in the eventual extinction of the race unless a cure could be found. The Asgard devoted considerable time and resources to the project, but their best efforts proved fruitless. (The Vanir had more luck in dealing with this issue than their Ida counterparts, primarily because they were willing to experiment on humans when the main faction would not. Even so, they were not able to eradicate the problem, only postpone it.) The final attempt to solve the problem resulted in a rapidly progressing, fatal disease. (SG1: "Descent", "Covenant", "Reckoning, Part 1", "Reckoning, Part 2", "Unending") (SGA: "The Lost Tribe")
History Early history The Asgard evolved on the planet Hala, in the Othala galaxy. Their collected history and culture would span over 100,000 years. They began exploring outside their galaxy around 28,000 BC. At some point, the Asgard began a program of cloning their people and transferring their minds into these bodies as a means of vastly extending their lifespans. At some point in time, the Asgard were hit by a plague that they called Barion's syndrome, a disease that wiped out 60% of their population and within a generation over 75% of the survivors of the disease became sterile and suffered from cellular degeneration. The remaining 10% of the population did not have the necessary genetic diversity to reverse the trend away from genetic breakdown. (RPG: "Roleplaying Game")
30,000 years ago
An Asgard ancestor in stasis.
Around this time, an Asgard ship (its crew placed in suspended animation) left Othala. Its navigational computers were either damaged or malfunctioned at some point, and the ship drifted across galaxies, ultimately ending up in the Milky Way (whether or not the Milky Way was its intended destination is unclear). (SG1: "Revelations")
10,000 years ago The Asgard made peaceful contact with the Ancients, the Furlings, and the Nox. They also came into conflict with the Goa'uld. Liberating several groups of Humans from Goa'uld worlds, the Asgard declared themselves their protectors until their cultures had sufficiently evolved, and threatened the Goa'uld with violent retaliation if they attempted to re-enslave the Humans.
The Vanir, a group of Asgard who did not share their brethren's ethical concerns about experimenting on humans to solve their genetic degradation problems, left the Ida galaxy and traveled to the Pegasus galaxy where they could continue their experiments, which were able to slow the advance of, but not reverse their genetic problems.
After the Ancients discovered they could not win their war with the Wraith and left for the Milky Way, the Wraith attacked the Vanir. The Vanir's intergalactic ships were damaged beyond repair in the first battle, and, as they lacked the means to construct new ones, they were stranded in the Pegasus galaxy.
In order to survive, the Vanir moved to a Toxic planet where the Wraith could not endure. At first they only needed to use simple breathing apparatus to survive, but the planet's atmosphere continued to degrade, forcing them to develop Armored exoskeletons capable of withstanding the new conditions. (Eventually, conditions would become too harsh, and they would be forced to venture out into the galaxy again.) (SGA: "The Lost Tribe")
Past to the current era "Our ability to enforce the treaty in this galaxy will depend greatly on the outcome of our battle with the Replicators." âFreyr[src]
An Asgard Bilskirnir-class ship attacks a Goa'uld Ha'tak.
Despite the efforts of the Asgard, the Goa'uld became a great threat to the human population of the Milky Way. The Goa'uld began taking humans as hosts during this time, which greatly angered the Asgard, who realized humanity had great potential. The Asgard's vastly superior technology was more than a match for the Goa'uld, who were forced to sign a treaty with the Asgard in order to keep from being destroyed.
Unwilling to completely give the galaxy over to the Goa'uld, the Asgard freed and transplanted humans on various worlds and posed as their protective gods as they felt they were not yet ready to have their belief system completely stripped away. Accordingly, they devised a series of challenges designed to determine when these people were advanced enough to learn (and presumably cope with) the truth about their protector's true nature.
To ensure the safety of many of these planets, the Asgard and the Goa'uld brokered the Protected Planets Treaty. The treaty stipulated that the Asgard would allow the Goa'uld various benefits (the precise terms are unknown), and in return the Goa'uld would leave the humans of the various worlds mentioned in the treaty alone. The treaty could be expanded to include other worlds if both parties agreed to negotiate.
For some time the Asgard protected these planets with their advanced technology and warships but the discovery and invasion of the Replicators in their home galaxy forced the Asgard to draw away resources they had been using to enforce the treaty, leaving the planets protected in name only.
The long lost Asgard ship from 30,000 years ago was rediscovered by Asgard scientists. Within it was one perfectly preserved Asgard ancestor. The Asgard scientist Heimdall began research on it since the clone was from a time when their cloning program was "not yet irreversible". (SG1: "Thor's Chariot", "Fair Game", "Revelations")
The Replicators
A fleet of O'Neill-class ships combat a Replicator cruiser.
"They are the enemy of the Asgard." âThor speaking about the Replicators[src] The Asgard were unable to help Earth directly in the fight against the Goa'uld because of a war with a greater enemy, the Replicators.
The Asgard's energy-based weapons were ineffective against the Replicators. Human weapons, on the other hand, used simple chemical reactions to drive metallic projectiles through kinetic force, something the mechanoids could not defend against.
With the aid of SG-1, the Asgard imprisoned all the Replicators in a time dilation field on the planet Hala. They then collapsed Hala's sun into a black hole in hopes of destroying the replicators but some managed to escape and attack the new Asgard home world of Orilla. Aegir attacked the ship that dropped out of hyperspace before it could raise its shields. Not all the Replicators were destroyed however, and the Replicator Fifth managed to land on the planet.
Colonel Jack O'Neill, with the knowledge gained from the Ancients' Repository of knowledge, invented a weapon that blocked communication between the Replicator cells permanently. Thor was able to construct a larger version capable of affecting an entire planet. The Asgard aided SG-1 when the Replicators invaded the Milky Way, but were unsuccessful. Eventually SG-1 and the Tok'ra Jacob Carter/Selmak destroyed the Replicators with the Dakara superweapon, eliminating them entirely from the known universe. (SG1: "Nemesis", "Small Victories", "Unnatural Selection", "New Order, Part 1", "New Order, Part 2", "Reckoning, Part 1", "Reckoning, Part 2")
After the Replicators
An Asgard ship in battle.
Although the Goa'uld and the Replicators had been defeated, new threats arose, such as the Ori. In the face of this, the Asgard continued to provide aid to Earth by providing technologies for the development of the Daedalus-class, and "lending" them the Asgard engineer Hermiod. The Asgard also participated in critical events such as the Battle of P3Y-229. (SG1: "Reckoning, Part 1", "Reckoning, Part 2", "Camelot", "Flesh and Blood")
Extinction "As a race, we are dying. Very soon, we will all be gone." âThor[src] Their final attempts to repair the genetic degradation caused by continuous re-cloning failed, and unwilling to allow their technology to be plundered by other races, the Asgard decided to commit mass suicide and destroy their planet, but not without passing on their legacy. They gave Stargate Command an Asgard computer database containing all their knowledge, and made significant modifications to the Odyssey consisting of all their most recent technology.
As the upgrades were completed, three Ori warships arrived and attacked both Orilla and the Odyssey. The Odyssey fled with one Ori ship in pursuit, while the other two prepared to attack the planet. At that moment, the Asgard caused Orilla to explode, destroying the planet, the two ships, and the Asgard. The Asgard's upgrades to the Odyssey saved the ship and gave the Tau'ri an advantage in the war as the new plasma beam weapons installed on the Odyssey gave the Tau'ri weapons capable of destroying Ori motherships and almost any other ship they came across. (SG1: "Unending")
Pegasus Galaxy
A Vanir Asgard.
A few months after the death of the Asgard, the Atlantis expedition encountered Fenrir, an Asgard scientist who had been exiled from his people after his test of a new weapon resulted in the destruction of an entire solar system. Although Fenrir was devastated when he learned of the loss of his people, he nevertheless sided with the expedition over the Wraith after Teyla Emmagan assured him that they had only deceived him to spare him the pain. Fenrir in his warship, destroyed a Wraith fleet that was attempting to cull the Humans of the planet Heruun. He was subsequently killed when a Wraith Queen sacrificed herself to mount a suicide bomb run on his ship, but Colonel Samantha Carter was able to take control of his ship and use it to destroy the Wraith Hive ship. (SGA: "Nightfall")
"We're talking about the deaths of millions of people. How can you be so callous?" âDaniel Jackson[src] Main article: Vanir The Vanir were encountered in 2008 by the Atlantis expedition. After the expedition's discovery of Janus' lab, they invaded Atlantis, captured a key component of the Attero device, and kidnapped Dr. Rodney McKay and Dr. Daniel Jackson. They forced Jackson and McKay to activate the device, rendering the Wraith unable to use their hyperspace drives. The Vanir didn't care that a side effect of the device would cause any activated Stargate to overload and explode.
Their plan was foiled when Lt. Colonel John Sheppard took Katana Labrea's Traveler ship to the planet and destroyed two of three Vanir spaceships in battle while the third escaped to hyperspace. The device was shut down by Jackson and McKay and subsequently destroyed by the Daedalus from orbit. (SGA: "First Contact", "The Lost Tribe")
Following the loss of the Attero device, the Vanir began a desperate plan to save their race by forcing an Ascended Asgard named Ran to return to mortal form, believing with her uncorrupted DNA and eggs they could save their race. Their current bodies were beyond saving by that point, but they believed with the right genetic material and enough time and work, they could restore their race to what it was. The team was able to convince them of a different solution and led the Vanir to a shrine on Earth where they were able to communicate with the Ascended and ask for Ran's help. Ran, who had previously helped Doctor Elizabeth Weir ascend before returning her to human form, listens to their plea and returns to mortal form to help them. However, she warns that while she will try, she can't guarantee success in saving the race. (SGA: "The Third Path")
Society

High Council "Ultimately, the decision is not mine." âFreyr[src] Main article: Asgard High Council The Asgard High Council was the government of the Asgard. The size and structure of the council is not known, but there were seven seated members, including Freyr, Thor, and Penegal. The High Council made decisions that affected the entire race. In addition, they negotiated in name of the Tau'ri in the Protected Planets Treaty. The council members met in a great room with holographic projectors. (SG1: "Fair Game", "Red Sky")
Interaction with other races "They are a friend to all, protector of all, except the Goa'uld, with whom they are at war." âGairwyn[src]
Asgard society.
As a function of the Protected Planets Treaty, the Asgard set up protective measures and holographic representations of themselves on a number of planets in the Milky Way galaxy for protection against the Goa'uld and other enemies.
On the planet Cimmeria, the Asgard Thor set up Thor's Hammer, a protective obelisk that transported Goa'uld or symbiote-carriers to an underground labyrinth where only the host can leave, the symbiote dying when passing through the 'hammer'. The 'hammer' was destroyed by SG-1 when Teal'c was trapped in the labyrinth. Thor replaced the destroyed hammer with a new one that would recognize Teal'c and not harm him. (SG1: "Thor's Hammer", "Thor's Chariot")
While the Asgard maintained a fleet of ships with defensive capabilities, they were not a militaristic race, and strongly disapproved of the use of technology for aggressive reasons. While they formed an alliance with the Tau'ri and were willing to give them upgrades for their ships such as Asgard shields, Asgard sensors, Asgard transporters and Asgard hyperdrives, they were unwilling to give up Asgard weapons until their race was on the brink of extinction due to a policy of not giving other races weapons, partially out of fear they'd be used by those other races against them. They also have safeguards built into the Asgard transporters to prevent it being used as a weapons delivery system. (SG1: "Disclosure") (SGA: "The Siege, Part 3", "The Intruder")
Language Main article: Asgard language It is generally theorized that the Asgard language influenced the evolution of Germanic languages. The written language of the Asgard is composed of runes (seen on panels of Thor's ship). The known named Asgard all had names that came from Nordic mythology. (SG1: "The Fifth Race", "Red Sky")
Technology "Are you implying that our technology is some kind of trickery?" âFreyr speaking to Colonel Jack O'Neill[src] Main article: Asgard technology

Asgard technology is dependent on Neutronium. They possessed a level of technology significantly more advanced than that of the Goa'uld and most other races in the known universe. Only the Alterans and Ori were known to be of comparable technological level, though the Nox and Furlings are speculated to have a similar technological level. The Asgard are remarkable in their technological level having reached the pinnacle of their development in only 100,000 years, younger as a species than the Alterans by millions of years.
Their ships were capable of traversing thousands of light years in minutes, and their shields could withstand multiple hits from Ori warships while remaining undamaged. They had also mastered advanced transportation and holographic technology.
Shortly before their extinction, the Asgard developed energy weapons capable, with repeated strikes, of defeating Ori shields, which had previously proved impervious to everything except the unstable vortex of the Ori's own Supergate.
The sum total of the Asgard's knowledge and technology now belongs to the Tau'ri; a gift to them before their destruction. However, it will likely take Earth decades, maybe even centuries, to fully understand and put it to widespread use. However, the Tau'ri have had at least some success with this as they have been able to replicate the plasma beam weapons the Asgard gifted to them and put them on all their ships within a matter of months of first receiving the technology. (SG1: "Unending") (SGA: "Be All My Sins Remember'd")
Military tactics "You have demonstrated their weakness may be found from a less sophisticated approach. We are no longer capable of such thinking." âThor[src] Little is known of Asgard military tactics as their advanced technology tended to dominate their enemies. They used this to achieve victory.

The Asgard were not above employing trickery against their enemies, such as bluffing the Goa'uld with the Protected Planets Treaty by appearing to be capable of destroying the Goa'uld while actually lacking the resources to intervene directly due to other problems. The Asgard had no hesitation in sacrificing themselves in battle, as was the case when Thor decided to self-destruct his ship in hyperspace in order to destroy a Replicator cruiser heading towards his new homeworld of Orilla.
The Asgard had some problems with developing creative or original military tactics, as their brains were simply too advanced and complicated, making them almost incapable of resorting to more primitive means in defeating their enemies. This was the primary reason why the Asgard took Major Samantha Carter to develop a tactic to use against the Replicators despite the fact that she was one of the smartest people on Earth. (SG1: "Small Victories", "New Order, Part 1", "New Order, Part 2")
Protected Planets Treaty

"So basically, you guys are⊠bluffing the Goa'uld. Big time." âJack O'Neill[src] Main article: Protected Planets Treaty On one occasion the Asgard came to help Earth when the Goa'uld decided to attack. The Asgard met with representatives of the Goa'uld, and humans, in order to put Earth under the protection of the Protected Planets Treaty. This treaty had served to maintain peace between the Goa'uld and the Asgard. Attending in name of the Goa'uld were Yu, Nirrti and Cronus. Thor represented the Asgard and chose Colonel Jack O'Neill to represent the humans. (SG1: "Fair Game", "Red Sky")
Grey alien myth It would appear that the Asgard are the source of the "grey alien" concept common in UFO and alien abduction accounts on Earth. It is known the Asgard have been observing and occasionally visiting Earth for a long time, likely centuries (they seem to have originated Norse mythology, of which records exist that are well over 1,000 Earth years old).
It has been shown that at least some abductions have taken place, perpetrated by the disgraced Asgard geneticist Loki over a span of decades and upon citizens of a number of countries. (SG1: "Fragile Balance")
It is known that the Roswell, New Mexico crash famous among ufologists was an actual event in the Stargate universe and was caused by a time-travelling SG-1. It is also known that Loki had a number of Asgard-Human hybrids which died in escape pods at Roswell. (SG1: "Roswell")
Interestingly, some Earth UFO encounter accounts describe "grey aliens" working in concert with or under the command of "giant aliens", hulking humanoids over six feet tall of Nordic human appearance, apparently mostly with the "giants" being in command over the "greys". Sometimes the Nordic humans are also reported to be present alone, without "greys". This may be the contactees' interpretation of the Asgard use of holograms of large Nordic humans to present themselves to less developed human cultures. (SG1: "Thor's Hammer", "Thor's Chariot")
