Editing Clan McDuck (section)

=== Quackly McDuck ===
'''Sir Quackly McDuck''' (1010-1057; from earlier Quackly MacDuich) was clan chief when [[Macbeth, King of Scotland|King Macbeth]] was killed in 1057. That same year, Macbeth offered Quackly a treasure chest in exchange for his support in the ongoing war for the throne. Quackly agreed and served the king during the war, but became obsessed with protecting the treasure, eventually trapping himself inside the castle walls with it. Quackly and his treasure became a McDuck legend, and it is believed that his ghost continues to protect the treasure and the castle.<ref name="castle"/>

In 1877, Quackly's ghost saves a young Scrooge McDuck from the Whiskervilles of Dismal Downs. Without revealing his true identity, he suggests to Scrooge that he travel to America and work for his Uncle Pothole, thus serving as the catalyst for all of Scrooge's adventures. In 1885, Quackly again tries to save Scrooge, but his action unintentionally brings about Scrooge's temporary death. In heaven, Quackly is reprimanded by his relatives for interfering in earthly events.<ref name="Rosa"/><ref name="LoS1"/> Quackly McDuck is first mentioned in ''The Old Castle's Secret'' (1948) by Carl Barks, and first appears in ''[[The Last of the Clan McDuck]]'' (1994) by Don Rosa.
