Wainwright Montgomery Burns

Colonel Wainwright Montgomery Burns (or Colonel Burns) was the father of Clifford Burns, and paternal grandfather of Charles Montgomery Burns. Wainwright forcibly adopted his grandson Charles, and transformed Charles from a carefree boy into a miserly and cynical man. Many of Charles Montgomery's cold-hearted characteristics are noticeable in Wainwright as well.
==Biography==
As the grandfather of Charles Montgomery Burns, Wainwright Montgomery Burns was the child of Franklin Jefferson Burns"The Trouble with Trillions" or Bensonhurst Burns and Barbara Kretizer.C. Montgomery Burns' Handbook of World Domination
Wainwright was a racist and villainous man, and the the inspiration for Harriet Beecher Stowe's character Simon Legree. She was later asked to tone down the character. In 1860, he owned a large plantation and also held a slave named Virgil who is directly related to Homer Simpson and his family. However, when Virgil was freed by the abolitionist Simpson family, Wainwright (known at the time as Colonel Burns) tracked him down to Hiram Simpson's cottage. He bribed Hiram with a pair of new shoes, and found Virgil in the tulip shed. However, Virgil was protected by Mabel Simpson. He was then threatened at gunpoint that if Colonel Burns ever crossed their ranch again, she would shoot him. A shaken Burns walked away the scene. "The Color Yellow"
Years later, he went onto have a son Clifford, who was much different than him even calling his father a twisted billionaire.
Later on, Wainwright would forcibly adopt his grandson, Charles Burns, to be a greedy, heartless man like himself. Rosebud
In 1909, he took young Charles on a tour of the Springfield Power Works.Last Exit to Springfield
== Behind the Laughter ==
While there are no direct contradictions between the names of Burns family members seen in The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album and C. Montgomery Burns' Handbook of World Domination, Handbook of World Domination adds that Colonel Burns is not Charles Montgomery Burns' father (as depicted in "The Color Yellow"), but his grandfather Wainwright. Handbook of World Domination also revises Wainwright's appearance to more closely resemble Colonel Burns in "The Color Yellow", which aired 19 years after the Family Album was released. No televised episode identifies Burns' father or grandfather by name.
