==Details==
Igor acts in the manner of a traditional horror servant based on the stock character Igor, and adds a decidedly dark amount of powdered sugar to Duckula's breakfast in the morning. But what you didn't know, is that Duckula, loves powdered sugar :). While living in the manor, Igor takes care of keeping the mansion running, taking are of most of the chores, and the Count Duckula himself.  


He greatly dislikes his master's behaviour, and often encourages him to act in a far more ghastly manner. Although he will generally obey Duckula's specific orders (thwarting Duckula's attempt to stop the first Duckula becoming a vampire only because he was not explicitly ordered not to), he remains convinced that, if he could only talk Duckula into biting, maiming, torturing and otherwise brutalising people, he would return to the "good old days" of the previous counts who behaved more like evil vampires.

It's very likely that Igor is the same character as "Igorth" in '[[The Rest is History]]', as we have several points for his age -- or at least how long he's been serving Duckula. In '[[Family Reunion]]', Igor states it will be his 8th reunion, which takes place every 100 years. In the same episode, he mentions how he's served the family for "800 years, give or take a decade or so". In '[[In Arctic Circles|Arctic Circles]]', he mentions again how he's served the the family for "seven-and-a-half centuries". In 'Sawdust Ring', the most specific time of 724 years is given. Finally, the official 1990 Count Duckula annual repeats 800 years in his description once more. While the math is not exact, the consistency in age range is very notable. Considering that the series takes place during the years it aired, and the first Count Duckula was turned into a vampire in 1199, Igor himself may have have turned Duckula into a vampire or at least have been around near the time of it. He seems to be immortal, or there is something else supplying his life force.

Igor is very cunning, sly, and sneaky. He keeps a lot of secrets, lying subtlety about things -- sometimes just "stretching the truth" about his deeds, but sometimes blatant ones, such as in '[[Bloodsucking Fruit Bats of the Lower Amazon]]', where he essentially manipulates Duckula into taking the castle to the Amazon so he could find a bat to bite Duckula and turn him into a "proper" vampire.
