Biography:
Malcolm McDuck was born around 1530.
In the Barks classic Back To Long Ago! from 1956 there is mentioned a Matey McDuck that was a British naval officer in the Caribbean. Once Matey McDuck and a sailor named Pintail Duck buried a treasure that actually consisted of potatoes. In that same story Barks also shows that Matey McDuck seems to have been reborn as Scrooge McDuck.
And In page 5 of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ Don Rosa mentions that "Records show that in the 1560's a McDuck served aboard the HMS "Falcon Rover" under Capt. Loyal Hawk as he raided the Spanish Caribbean trade routes!"
Once Don Rosa have said that Malcolm McDuck died in 1564, but in pages 5 and pages 6of his unpublished sketches for chapter I of Lo$ he shows that in 1579 Malcolm McDuck sailed together with Sir Francis Drake as the "first mate" of "The Golden Hind". Shortly after he became the first commander of the new Fort Drake Borough and thus became the first McDuck in what later became known as Duckburg.
The easiest explanation of all this is to see Matey and Malcolm McDuck as two separate McDucks, probably brothers who both went to sea. Matey probably drowned when "The Falcon" sunk in 1564 and Malcolm died sometime after he ended up in Drake Borough in 1579.
