**Duke Sigmund Igthorn** is the main antagonist of Disney's *Adventures of the Gummi Bears* series. He was voiced by the late Michael Rye.

### Personality

Igthorn is very a bad-tempered schemer. He is competent enough to gain temporary success in many of his plans, but his success is always short-lived. He later develops a crush on fellow villainess Lady Bane, but his feelings are unrequited. He is proven to be evil, cruel, valid, egotistical, rough, tough, selfish, vain, mean, bad-tempered, negative, overbearing, cunning, and intelligent.

Despite the fact that he has many Disney Villians' attributes, such as being full of himself, Duke Igthorn is also somewhat cunning and a fairly skilled commander. Because of his superior physical strength and command of ogres, the Gummi Bears, as well as King Gregor, consider Igthorn to be a serious threat to their respective homes.

## Background

Duke Igthorn was once a knight of Dunwyn who was exiled for conspiring against King Gregor. At an unknown point afterwards, he took control of a rundown castle called Drekmore and its resident pack of Ogres. Since then, he has constantly conspired to usurp King Gregor and rule Dunwyn himself. He has a twin brother, Sir Victor Igthorn, who is a brave knight that fights evil. It is implied at several points that Duke Igthorn's father had attempted to control Dunwyn and raised his son to do the same.

## Appearances

### *Adventures of the Gummi Bears*

Duke Igthorn serves as the series' primary antagonist. He leads a group of Ogres, who are extremely loyal and physically strong, but very stupid. However, Toadwart, a smaller and slightly more intelligent ogre, serves as his lieutenant.

In the series premiere, Duke Igthorn used a gigantic catapult to tear down Castle Dunwyn. When the Gummi Bears attempted to thwart Igthorn's plan for the very first time, they inadvertently exposed themselves to him, thus, proved their existence. From that point forward, Igthorn made it a goal to try and capture the bears in order to extract secrets out of them, as the ancient Gummi technology could be advantageous in getting Igthorn to capture Dunwyn and especially, to gain the secret recipe for Gummiberry juice in order to gain a vast supply of it since it is known for giving humans temporary super strength.

In the show's series finale, "King Igthorn", Duke Igthorn disappears from his castle for nearly a year. Believing him to be gone, the Gummi Bears send a message to the Great Gummis telling them that it is safe to return. However, Duke Igthorn suddenly arrives, destroys Gummi Glen, and captures Dunwyn. Luckily, the Gummis are able to stop him and in the end, Duke Igthorn loses everything including his own castle.
