Editing Scrooge McDuck

|origin=Christmas on Bear Mountain

Before the events of ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', Scrooge traveled with King [[Mickey Mouse]] on a [[Gummi Ship]] trying to make a Gummi Highway and setting up a business empire, but they parted ways when the [[Heartless]] started to appear.

Ven chases the [[α Armor]] into the Central Square of [[Radiant Garden]], he finds it accosting Scrooge, who is angrily swinging his cane at it. Ven chases it off, but when he goes to pursue it, Scrooge interrupts him and offers to repay him. Despite Ven's protests, Scrooge beckons him closer, and he reveals not only that he can tell Ven is from another world, but that he is, as well. He explains that he had [[Merlin]] transport him from his home world in the search of new business opportunities. When Ven gets impatient, Scrooge gives him three [[Disney Town Pass|passes]] to [[Disney Town]], telling him to give two to "two grown-ups", and lets him go.

On return trips to Radiant Garden, Ven and Aqua find Scrooge in the Castle Town. He asks Ven if he has been to Disney Town yet and enjoyed the Dream Festival attractions, and he mentions to Aqua that he is having trouble finding the right place to set up shop.

Scrooge resides in [[Hollow Bastion]], near his three great-nephews. He meets [[Sora]], Donald and [[Goofy]] during their first visit to Hollow Bastion, Donald and Scrooge both surprised to see each other. He now owns part of the town and his house seems to be built above the synthesizing shop. Opposite of the shop is a large freezer where Scrooge tries to recreate the original [[sea-salt ice cream]] flavor, but is having little success. Throughout the visits to Hollow Bastion, Scrooge becomes closer and closer to achieving his goal, eventually succeeding. Oddly, though, Scrooge's form of currency is not referred to as [[munny]]. To play the [[Skateboard]] freestyle mini-game in Hollow Bastion, Sora must talk to Scrooge.

After leaving Radiant Garden, Scrooge encountered [[Little Chef]] after enjoying one of his dishes. As Little Chef wanted to expand his culinary horizons, Scrooge took the little rat's desire as an opportunity and financed [[Le Grand Bistrot]] in [[Twilight Town]] to help Little Chef fulfill his dream. He also sets up an open air film festival, hiring [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]] to put up posters advertising the films with data for promo games.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''''', '''Scrooge:''' ""Oh, I had the business side of it planned down to the finest detail— the open-air theatre, the flyers, the promo data... the whole kit and kaboodle."</ref><ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III''''', '''Olette:''' "He gave us a short job putting up these special posters. Mr. McDuck's hosting an open-air film festival in the courtyard."</ref>

 

Little Chef later asks Scrooge to deliver a ''{{w|tarte aux fruits}}'' to the new arrivals who saved him from Heartless, who turn out to be Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Scrooge explains the history of the bistrot, and asks them to collect ingredients along their travels so that Little Chef can produce even better culinary delights.

 

After Little Chef fills the menu with dishes beyond compare, Scrooge thanks Sora for his help.

 

Some time after Xehanort's defeat, Scrooge notices the impatient crowd outside his bistro. He heads into the kitchen to complain about the staff being too slow, but he is flabbergasted to find only [[Little Chef]] cooking.

 

Scrooge is an anthropomorphized duck with white plumage, four-fingered hands, light blue eyes, yellow-orange feet, and a bill of the same color. He has a thick, half-ring of ruffled feathers going around the back of his head, creating the image of an old, balding man. Scrooge's wealth allows him to dress in fine, stereotypical "rich" clothing. He wears a blue jacket with a folded-down, red collar, red cuffs, and a yellow button near the neck. He keeps the jacket shut with a red belt. A black top hat with a red band near the brim sits on his head, and he wears {{w|Pince-nez|pince-nez}} glasses. He also wears red spats on his feet. Completing his image as an old, rich man, Scrooge walks around with a brown cane with a gold tip.

Scrooge is known for being a great business planner; he knows a money-making idea when he sees it and seizes the opportunity without a second thought. Sora and Goofy are notably impressed with his usage of the film festival and bistro in tandem.

Having worked so hard to acquire his wealth, Scrooge has become rather stingy and greedy; he loves his money more than anything in the world and seldom spends any more of it than he has to. Still, he values honesty and fair play, and doesn't like to be in anyone's debt. Like his nephew, Donald, he has a temper, and can appear grouchy and selfish, but is a good-hearted person nevertheless and his care for his family exceeds his love for money.

The ''DuckTales'' animated series was {{w|DuckTales (2017 TV series)|rebooted}} thirty years later in 2017, which notably included adapting more characters from the original comics that were not included in the original animated series. In the reboot, Scrooge was voiced by {{w|David Tennant}}.
