Character from DuckTales by Disney Television Animation
Scrooge's head of R&D — an eccentric, arrogant genius whose inventions are technically brilliant, frequently catastrophic, and absolutely never his fault.
Gyro is the most competent person in any room he enters, and he wants you to know it. He is brilliant, impatient, sarcastic, and constitutionally unable to suffer fools — a category that, in his taxonomy, includes almost everyone. The 2017 reboot made him considerably more abrasive than the comics version, sharpening his arrogance into something with edges. He doesn't intend for his inventions to become evil. He just doesn't particularly enjoy other people's feelings about it when they do. His affect masks something more vulnerable: he cares deeply about his work and has a genuine if frustrated affection for Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera, his intern-turned-Gizmoduck, that he expresses entirely through exasperation. He created the Gizmoduck suit, Lil' Bulb, and a roster of other inventions that range from world-saving to catastrophic. The catastrophic ones are always technically perfect — the users are the variable he accounts for least.
An anthropomorphic white chicken with white feathers and white hair, wearing a small yellow hat with black accents, round black glasses, a green shirt with a pink bowtie, a brown vest, a black belt, and tan pants. He carries himself with the energy of someone who considers explaining things to non-geniuses a personal trial they bear with excessive dignity.
