Much like the other Scrooge in this place, Scrooge is the richest duck in the world. Unlike the other Scrooge, he's spent the past ten years alone due to Della stealing the Spear of Selene (a rocket ship he'd had built to commemorate her triplets' hatching) and disappearing in a cosmic storm. Scrooge quit adventuring and grew cold to friends and family alike, keeping everyone at a distance.

However, when Donald was in desperate need of a babysitter, Scrooge met his great-nephews for the first time. They plus Webby managed to pull him out of his shell, prompting him to go on what he'd intended to be one last adventure to discover the lost city of Atlantis. In the end, it turned out to be the first of many, many adventures together, but the family split up once more when the secret of the Spear was revealed to the boys.

Scrooge is brave, bold, and quite the adrenaline junkie, him enjoying being in the thick of things. However, rather than activities like bungee jumping or hang gliding, Scrooge prefers real danger such as dodging death traps, fighting monsters, and searching for things people believe to be nothing more than fiction. As important as board meetings are to running a business, he'd much rather be out doing something than just sitting around talking about how to get others to do it for him. He has a strong streak of recklessness as a result though it was worse when he was younger. He has no issues risking his own life for some sort of perceived gain either towards his reputation or in filling his Money Bin. However, the kids have been a positive influence in that regard, encouraging him to rein it in for their safety if not his own. This reckless streak gets even worse when his pride comes into play.

Speaking of pride, Scrooge has a lot of it. Very often Scrooge will assure others that he can do something because "I'm Scrooge McDuck". He has a lot of confidence in his experience and the skills he's honed over the past century and a half. This tends to be a double-edged sword in either giving him the courage needed to take a risk or making him overconfident which leads back to his recklessness depending on the situation.

Like his nephew Donald, he also has quite a temper. When backed into a corner, he will often times react in anger, lashing out at whoever put him in that position. While he hasn't struck any members of his family, he will strike objects with other objects (such as the dining room table with his newspaper) to express that anger physically. However, he can say things in a fit of anger that he will deeply regret later.

As can be expected by anyone who's ever heard the name "Scrooge McDuck", he's also greedy and a tightwad. Scrooge takes pride in the fact that he doesn't spend a penny more than he has to and will quite shamelessly do things such as take extra food from a free buffet so that's a little less food he has to buy later. When the money in his Bin somehow came to life and formed a giant money shark with legs (him not knowing it was Magica's "niece" Lena's doing per her orders), his immediate concern was in losing that money rather than the damage being done to Duckburg by it coming second. However, in this particular case it might not just be greed as a motivating factor but also sentimentality: The money in Scrooge's Bin he earned himself and he knows the story behind each piece in his collection.

However, at his core, Scrooge is a family man even though he has no wife and children of his own. He loves all his nephews plus his honorary niece very deeply and would risk life and limb to save them if they were in trouble. However, this is a double-edged sword for him given that as happy as family makes him, they also have the power to hurt him the most. He spent ten years in a deep depression after not just the loss of Della but also the loss of Donald and Della's unhatched children. Scrooge needs family in his life, the color in essence draining out of everything when they're gone.

While Scrooge is capable of being soft and gentle, it's a bit hard for him to express it at times. He doesn't really understand children (him asking on first meeting the boys if kids still played with marbles, for example), likely because he had to step up and start working at such a young age. He also seems to keep his vulnerabilities as much to himself as possible such as not telling Goldie for a hundred years that "you're Scrooge McDuck" wasn't always a good enough reason for her to throw him under the proverbial bus. Most likely, this is partially because of Scrooge having suffered so many betrayals over his long lifetime.

One positive thing that can be said of Scrooge is that he's an honest sort in that he plays by the rules. This is something else he takes pride in, making sure to add to his proclamation that he's "tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties" that he made his money square. As a result, he greatly disdains others who would try to bend the rules or outright cheat their way to the top.

QUIRK IN-DEPTH: Back home, he has a hidden library called the Archives beneath the Money Bin, something that his connection to the knowledge-obsessed Odin drives him to recreate. He will be trying to obsessively gather and hoard knowledge, some of it coming from using Thought and Memory (his two raven familiars whose eyes he can see out of) to spy.

WEAPON: A cane that he'll wield like a sword, use the crook to grab things, and bounce on people's heads.
STYLE: Physical (melee), magic

He has a pair of raven familiars whose eyes he can spy through (Thought and Memory), runic magic, and disguise powers thanks to his connection to Odin. In the future, his powers will be upgraded to include invisibility and the ability to summon two wolf familiars (Peace and Quiet) and a Sleipnir-like flying horse (still need to come up with a name).
