I'm back with more of what I'm calling, The Star Wars Afternoon! I'm shifting into DuckTales mode for the next few posts, starting with a character inspired by the famous Scrooge McDuck! Scrooge has always been my favorite Disney character, so naturally this entire fan-fiction universe of mine will revolve around his counterpart in some capacity.
And just for giggles, I thought it'd be fun to make this human interpretation resemble Ebenezer Scrooge. You see what I did there?
Baron Ansil Maddoc
The wealthy elitists of the Corporate Sector often hail from somewhat pompous upbringings, but not the Baron of Bindo, Ansil Maddoc! Raised on a quaint farm on the agriworld of Lazgo, Ansil has always known the value of honest work. As a boy, young Ansil once shined the boots of a deep space pilot, for which he was paid with a single ingot of Republic credit. When Ansil later found out that Republic credits were worthless on Lazgo, he was furious. He vowed then and there to always keep his guard up as to never be outsmarted by others, no matter how trustworthy they may seem. It’s a somewhat callous philosophy, but one that’s served him well.
Ansil left his homeworld at a young age in pursuit of fortune and adventure. After a series of unsuccessful endeavors on every freighter, shipyard and spaceport from Boz Pity to Black Spire, the exhausted Maddoc eventually turned a handsome profit mining coaxium on the desolate planet of Lonkada III. Through shrewd thinking and pure grit, Ansil quickly transformed that small mine into a lucrative venture, and thus Maddoc Industries was born. Over time, his company grew even more, eventually expanding into a number of other fields such as ship building and cargo transport, and making Maddoc one of the wealthiest barons in the galaxy.
As fond as he is of his acquired wealth, Ansil’s true love is and will always be Bindo: a small moon on the furthest edge of the Outer Rim virtually untouched by civilization. This peaceful world’s vast resources and kind inhabitants hold a special place in the baron’s heart and he’s fought hard to protect it from invading forces on several occasions. It is in this paradise, among these people, that Ansil Maddoc has permanently taken up residence, managing his ever-growing wealth while clinging to the philosophies of his modest youth; believing that anyone, if they work smart and stay tough, can find success.
