Ghost Butler
}}
{{NameColor|#2b8ca4|Duckworth}} is {{2017link|Scrooge McDuck|Scrooge McDuck's}} late butler in the ''DuckTales'' reboot. 

==Personality==
Duckworth is completely devoted to his old employer, Scrooge McDuck, and his safety, to the point of terrorizing his enemies and family alike. Despite this, he was remembered fondly by both {{2017link|Ma Beagle}} and {{2017link|Flintheart Glomgold}}. He also seems to have a mutual antagonism with Scrooge's current housekeeper, {{2017link|Mrs. Beakley}}.
Dry-witted, dramatic, polite and devoted, Duckworth is a jack-of-all-trades in the [https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/McDuck_Manor McDuck mansion], making him a favorite member of Scrooge's staff.

==History==
===[[McMystery at McDuck McManor!]]===
Duckworth was the butler and housekeeper of Scrooge McDuck. He was extremely loyal to Scrooge, and his favorite butler; he was known to throw the best parties, and was the one Scrooge always entrusted with planning out his birthday party. Duckworth died before 2017, and Scrooge stopped celebrating his birthday, convinced that no one else could throw a party as good and because he secretly missed Duckworth.

In 2017, when Huey Duck decided to throw Scrooge a party anyway, he hired an illusionist, Nik Nocturne, to entertain the guests. Nocturne was actually a [[Beagle Boys (2017)|Beagle Boy]] named [[Black Arts Beagle]] who was intent on causing mayhem and attempted to summon a demon from the Beyond to crash the party. Being rather inept at sorcery, he ended up summoning the ghost of Duckworth, who, taking advantage of the situation, pretended to be a demonic monster in order to chase away Nocturne and other enemies who had infiltrated the party.[[File:Duckworth_Demonworth.png|thumb|left|282px]]

Following these events, Duckworth was introduced to {{2017link|Huey}}, {{2017link|Dewey}} and {{2017link|Louie}} and the rest of the new inhabitants of [[McDuck Manor (2017)|McDuck Manor]], and he resumed service as Scrooge's butler. This caused friction with Scrooge's current housekeeper {{2017link|Bentina Beakley}}, who had become used to running the house by herself.

===[[The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!]]===
Duckworth is  packed and departing McDuck Manor along with Mrs. Beakley, Webby, [[Donald Duck (2017)|Donald]], and [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck (2017)|the nephews]] after the truth about [[Della Duck]]'s fate is revealed.

===[[The Most Dangerous Game...Night!]]===
Upon learning that Scrooge intended the whole household to participate in a game night, Duckworth made himself scarce, claiming that he sensed some ghostly disturbance that he needed to attend to. He ignored Beakley's pleas for him to stay, though he remained in the vicinity of the manor.

=== [[Last Christmas!]] ===
Duckworth appears in the present decorating the Mansion, as well as placing the star on top of the Christmas tree. In the past, he makes sure Scrooge is given standard information and properly dressed for business opportunities with some of his business partners who attended his Christmas party.

=== [[Treasure of the Found Lamp!]] ===
Duckworth had been taking a long-overdue vacation within the land of the dead for a week but was summoned back by Huey, Dewey and Louie, much to his anger. He then went into his Demonworth form and inquired as to why they had brought him back, with the triplets claiming they needed information on who he sold a particular lamp to during a yard sale Louie asked him to run.

=== [[Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!]] ===
When Della returns home, Beakley mentions among the things that transpired since she was away, Duckworth had died leaving Beakley herself to be the housekeeper. As he has not moved on far enough, Duckworth appears, saying he needs to clean up some cobwebs in the underworld, and a plate thrown by his successor goes right through him before he disappears.

=== [[Friendship Hates Magic!]] ===
Webby is to have a sleepover but doesn't want her new friend to notice that the mansion is filled with magic and supernatural. Absentminded, she calls for Duckworth to open the door when the bell ring. When she realizes her mistakes, she rushes to the door and jumps through Duckworth. This makes him float up through the roof. He glares at her angrily while she shouts sorry.

=== [[GlomTales!]] ===
When [[Clan Glomgold]] invades McDuck Manor, Duckworth appears and transforms into his demon form in order to engage them. However, [[Magica De Spell (2017)|Magica]] employs a magical amulet to expel him from the mansion.

===[[Moonvasion!]]===
After the [[Moonlanders]] capture most of Scrooge's allies, Duckworth decides they're all doomed and his time is better spent preparing their places in the afterlife before leaving through the floor. Mrs. Beakley takes note of the fact that he had to go ''down'' to do his task instead of up. Nevertheless, later that day he returns from the afterlife again and joins the rest of the group in their celebration for defeating [[Lunaris]], as well as the Duckburgians now befriending the Moonlanders. He then joins in on the group shot, unaware he and everyone else are being watched by the criminal organization [[F.O.W.L. (2017)|F.O.W.L.]]

===[[Louie's Eleven!]]===
The Three Caballeros approach Scrooge while washing. Irritated with them, he shouts for Duckworth, who appears and changes to his demon form before throwing them out of the house.
