Biography[]
Old Man McGucket being exposed in one of his plans.
McGucket may seem like a normal, everyday, average Joe Gravity Falls citizen, but he has had many antagonist roles, primarily in the episode "Legend of the Gobblewonker". He might also be considered mentally ill by making up words, leading to neologism. He also caused havoc with mechanical creations, this and him making elixirs leads to believe that he's a genius.
McGucket afraid of the bad thing that is coming.
It's revealed in "The Society of the Blind Eye" that when he was a young man, he was a scientist who worked with the Journal's author (Stanford Pines), to catalog his studies and helped build his machine, however tortured by what he had seen, he built a special device to erase his memories. He also founded the Blind Eye Society, a secret society to help people like him forget. However his overuse of the machine, drove him insane, leaving him with no memories before 1982. Without him the order fell into a cult, that dogmatically held all memories of the supernatural must be erased regardless of whether the person in questioned wanted them gone or not.
In the physical edition of Journal 3, it is revealed in an account by Ford that an encounter with the Gremloblin was what drove McGucket to build his mind-erasing device in the first place.
It is revealed that Bill Cipher's chaotic mind on attempting to destroy universe into tricking both McGucket and Stanford to do his bidding, then the disappearance of Stanford himself of being sucked into the portal where Bill was sealed, was the reason behind McGucket's insanity, turning him into what he is now. Once he fully recovered his memory and Stanford's return, in the same time during a Weirdmageddon event, McGucket quickly forgives Stanford for the failure they had tried to prevent Cipher from entering their world and destroy the universe.

Quotes[]
| “ | My name is Fiddleford Hadron McGucket, and I wish to unsee what I have seen! For the past year I have been working as an assistant for a visiting researcher. He has been cataloging his findings about Gravity Falls in a series of journals. I helped him build a machine which he believed could benefit mankind. But something went wrong! I decided to quit the project, but I lie awake at night, haunted by the thoughts of what I'd done. I believe I have invented a machine that can permanently erase memories from my mind. Test subject one: Fiddleford. (Static) It worked! I can't recall a thing! (Static) I call it the Society of the Blind Eye. | „ |
