Biography:
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 In page 7 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa shows that Fergus worked as a mill worker in Glasgow.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".
