Eider makes a cameo appearance in the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' series]] episode, "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!", both as a statue in front of the titular Castle McDuck and as a ghost.

=== Slye MacDuich ===
'''Slye MacDuich''' who was enlisted as a spy for [[Malcolm II of Scotland]], in 1018, during his conquest of the [[Angles (tribe)|Angles]].

=== 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.

=== Murdoch McDuck ===
'''Sir Murdoch McDuck''' (?-1066; from earlier Murdoch MacDuich) was a businessman who patented the longbow. Most notably in 1066, when the Normans invaded England, he had the latter sign a contract with him so they would have enough longbows to fight off the invaders. However, they did not have enough arrows as Sir Murdoch charged extra for them. He is also the last of the Dark Ages McDucks and the one who modernized their family name "MacDuich" to the more familiar "McDuck". He only appears in the unfinished sketch-only story "The History of the Clan McDuck" (written and drawn approx. in 1992 by Don Rosa, but not released until December 2011), which was meant to serve as a prologue to "The Last of the Clan McDuck" before it was scrapped.

In the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' series]] episode, "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!", Downy McDuck relates Murdoch's history (which remains intact) to [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck]], and [[Webby Vanderquack]]. His longbow is later used as a clue that the boys use to uncover the mystery behind their mother, [[Della Duck|Della]]'s, disappearance.

=== Stuft McDuck ===
'''Sir Stuft McDuck''' (1110-1175) was a successful chief of Clan McDuck who oversaw a period of prosperity.<ref name="Rosa"/>

=== Roast McDuck ===
'''Sir Roast McDuck''' (1159-1205) succeeded his father, Stuft McDuck, as clan chief, while Clan McDuck was one of the richest clans in Scotland. However, in 1189, Roast offered much of the clan's wealth to the king of Scotland, [[William the Lion]], after William asked for his help in paying tribute to [[Richard I of England]]. This act of patriotic generosity led to financial ruin for the clan. Aside from this imprudence, Roast is primarily remembered for his gluttony. In 1205, he raided the king's pantry and ate himself to death. Roast's memorial suit of armor displayed in Castle McDuck holds a knife and fork in its hands.<ref name="castle"/><ref name="LoS1">[[Don Rosa]]: "The Last of the Clan McDuck" (part 1 of ''[[The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck]]''). First published 1992 ([http://coa.INDUCKS.org/story.php?c=D+91308 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry]).</ref> The character is first mentioned in ''The Old Castle's Secret'' (1948) by Carl Barks. He has a small speaking role in ''[[The Last of the Clan McDuck]]'' (1994), but makes his first appearance in ''[[The New Laird of Castle McDuck]]''.

His ghost makes a cameo appearance in the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' series]] episode, "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!"

=== Swamphole McDuck ===
'''Sir Swamphole McDuck''' (1190-1260)<ref>Sir Swamphole McDuck's life span is seen on his grave stone as 1161-1221 in the Carl Barks painting ''Dubious Doings at Dismal Downs''.</ref> succeeded his father, Roast McDuck, as clan chief and inherited its financial problems. In 1220, Swamphole sealed the dungeon of Castle McDuck, which he claimed was an attempt to decrease maintenance costs. He did, however, create secret passageways in the castle leading to the dungeons. (These passageways would later be useful during subsequent sieges.) After his death in 1260, Swamphole was not buried in the clan cemetery; rather, his skeleton was placed inside his memorial suit of armor, which was placed in Castle McDuck. Swamphole McDuck is first mentioned in ''The Old Castle's Secret'' by Carl Barks.<ref name="castle"/> In ''[[The Old Castle's Other Secret or A Letter from Home]]'' (2004) by Don Rosa, it is revealed that Swamphole sealed the dungeons not to reduce maintenance costs, but to conceal a treasure.

In the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' series]] episode, "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!", he is stated to be a treasure hunter (like Scrooge) who constructed secret passageways underneath Castle McDuck and let loose a demon dog to protect his treasure. His ghost later appears to ward off said demon dog alongside the ghosts of several of his family members.

=== Donald McDuck ===
'''Sir Donald McDuck''', nicknamed "'''[[Black Donald]]'''" because of his foul temper, is said to have invented [[golf]], the [[hammer throw]], and the [[caber toss]] in 1440. His temper while playing golf resulted in [[James II of Scotland]] outlawing the sport. Black Donald is mentioned in "The History of the Clan McDuck" by Don Rosa.

In the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' series]] episode "The Missing Links of Moorshire!", Scrooge McDuck relates the story of how "Black Donald" McDuck invented golf and subsequently got it banned due to his temper to Dewey, Louie, and Webby before participating in a golf tournament in Scotland.

=== Simon McDuck ===
'''Sir Simon McDuck''' (1437-1509) was the treasurer of the [[Knights Templar]] and hid their treasure beneath McDuck Castle. He is mentioned in ''The Old Castle's Other Secret or A Letter from Home'' (2004) by Don Rosa.

In the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' series]] episode, "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck", Scrooge McDuck states Simon was the "accountant" to the Knights Templar who had stolen and hidden their treasure somewhere underneath Castle McDuck, and he had returned to his father Fergus to reluctantly ask for his help in finding it since he knows where it is. His ghost appears later in the episode to stop a ghost hound from attacking Scrooge's grandnephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
