Personality: Gladstone Gander's luck defies probability and provides him with anything he desires, with hardly the need of effort. For all his ridiculous amount of luck, Gladstone Gander has no achievements to be proud of, is very lazy, and has no true ambitions or calling in life, as he is incapable of long-term planning. He's generally self centered, self obsessed and very proud of himself, hardly taking anything seriously. Despite that, he has a softer side deep down, one that craves companionship: the one thing his luck cannot bring him. He's a hopeless romantic with wishes to one day find his true love, someone who can love him despite his luck and not because of it. He wishes people could understand him, instead of always pushing him away. Gladstone Gander is very superstitious, believing in magic, hexes and horoscopes. He collects good luck charms in his home and avoids anything that could bring bad luck into his life.

Backstory: Gladstone Gander is the older cousin of Donald, a deeply unlucky duck with whom he has a deep rivalry but still loves as part of his family. They rarely see eye-to-eye. Gladstone Gander's other cousin is Della, someone he deeply cared about, but she has since gone missing, leaving Donald to raise her three sons Huey, Dewey and Louie. Gladstone Gander wishes he could be closer with the boys, but his tendency to butt heads with Donald and his difficult personality makes it so the kids don't want to see him often. Gladstone Gander's youngest cousin, Fethry, is also his favorite. Although Fethry is very air headed, he's also a very sensitive and open guy who never cared for Gladstone Gander's luck and just wanted to spend time with him, which made them really close as kids. Gladstone Gander also has an uncle named Scrooge with whom he has a strained relationship. Scrooge has always looked down on him and berated him for relying so heavily on his luck instead of hard work, which always made Gladstone Gander feel like his uncle never loved or cared for him.

Powers: Gladstone Gander is extremely lucky. The universe bends to his whims often, making him win lotteries, competitions, bets, anything he can think of or more. He's offered free food, places to stay, transportation and everything wherever he goes.
