Biography:

Sir Quackly McDuck was born around 1010. We can assume that he was born in the McDuck Castle at Dismal Downs. We don't know much abut his life, but at least we know how he died. In 1057 he received a chest from the Scottish Treasury as a reward for protecting King MacBeth in the McDuck Castle during the civil war. Unfortunately he got carried away with protecting his new gold and accidentally sealed himself into a wall inside the Castle, together with his treasure.

In the years, decades and centuries to come many generations McDucks searched for the remains of Sir Quackly and his treasure. But first almost 900 years later, in 1948, Scrooge McDuck finally succeeded and finally put an end to that search.

Already more that 70 years before in 1877 Scrooge met Sir Quackly's ghost when he first visited the McDuck Castle alone. At that point Sir Quackly didn't tell Scrooge where to find his treasure because he believed that Scrooge should learn to earn his own money during hard work first. In 1885 the two met again. At that point Sir Quackly tried to help Scrooge against the Whiskervilles.
