Topic: Gyro's friends and family

(5 messages)
Dutch Duckfan Down Under
Do you guys know any friends or family of Gyro? There are few characters in the Duck universe that aren't primarily linked to the Duck family, like Magica's family for example. Now Gyro's a pretty big character with a lot of stories in his own right, but I can't think of many recurring characters linked to Gyro more than they are to the Ducks.

There's his dad, who appears in Don Rosa's stories a couple times, his grandfather on the steamboat, and his girlfriend from the Brazilian stories. There's Little Helper, also.
Do you know of any others?

He has a nephew called Newton.

I know that Gyro's mom appeared in this brazillian story: http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=B+860081 , as well as in this Dutch one pager http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=H+86027 and in this Dutch puzzle story: http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=H+86106 , so she's definately a recurring character as well. Gyro's nephew Newton appeared quite a few times (see: http://coa.inducks.org/character.php?c=Newton), and Gyro's great-grandpa Copernicus was the helper of the famous gentleman-thief Fantomius during the 1920s (see: http://coa.inducks.org/character.php?c=Copernico+Pitagorico). Gyro also has a Japanese cousin, who has a son. Both appeared in http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2088-1 .

I know of a few other ancestors who were apparently all ripped off by famous inventors. Great-grandpa Manuel was seemingly the first to invent the car, but his had an EXTERNAL combustion engine and kind of sucked in general. Further back are Alex and Timothy, who were both claimed (by separate stories) to be the actual creators of the lightbulb.

IIRC he had a brother lacking self-confidence in an Italian story.
And I'm quite sure he had a romantic interest appearing in at least two stories.
