Scrooge was originally introduced as a supporting character in Donald Duck's stories but soon became so popular that he was given his own spinoff series, and soon became the center of what was eventually dubbed "The Scrooge McDuck Universe" by fans.

The Beagle Boys are a group of fictional characters from the Scrooge McDuck universe loosely based on the popular image of Ma Barker and the Barker-Karpis Gang.
They are a gang of criminals who constantly try to rob Scrooge McDuck and were created by Carl Barks.

 Duckburg
A clear indication that Duckburg is a city-state comes from Carl Barks' story UNCLE SCROOGE "TREASURE OF MARCO POLO" where the Duckburg embassy (in a foreign country) and the relevant national flag (a duck on a green-blue background) are shown in a sketch.
The mysterious side of this character and the fact, as Scrooge said, that he could imitate anybody, lets us reasonably suppouse that the Mad Duke could be in such a way related (an ancestor?) to the Phantom of Notre Duck.
Don Rosa in the story UNCLE SCROOGE IN A LITTLE SOMETHING SPECIAL shows us the old village of Duckburg as it was at the end of the 1800s and beginning of the 1900s, whose remains are still part of the modern city underground.

 Carl Barks
Old Scrooge made his debut in a 1947 comic book story entitled, “Christmas on Bear Mountain,” and while Scrooge initially appeared as a reclusive old curmudgeon, Carl Barks gradually “evolved” his personality to make him more versatile as a supporting character.
And while many of Carl Barks’ millions of early devotees may have grown up thinking that they were the only fans of Uncle Scrooge McDuck and the whole duck clan, their numbers have continued to blossom and grow up to this present day, the actual count defying imagination.
While many of these included stories about Uncle Scrooge, it was not until 1952 that old Scrooge received his own comic book title.
