Angus McDonald

Angus McDonald is a boy detective and friend of Magnus, Merle, and Taako. He is ten years old. Angus regularly refers to himself as the "world's greatest detective". He does not prefer the phrase "boy detective", calling it reductive. Angus has exceptional deductive reasoning skills and is skilled at solving puzzles and piecing clues together. He uses a book of interception to detect magic used for deception. The party (particularly Magnus) regularly pick on Angus in a joking manner by saying things like "Good boy, Angus" and stealing Angus' belongings from him.

Character History
The party first meets Angus on the Rockport Limited train when he offers to help the party solve the murder on the train.

Angus shares with the party that he is looking for a silverware set that he wants to return to his dying grandfather. Taako tells Angus that they were only able to reclaim 3 forks from the train, but in actuality, Taako stole the rest of the silverware set and sold it at Fantasy Costco.

Angus attempts to help the Reclaimers in the Crystal Kingdom arc when Hodge Podge asks the party to stump it with a question it can't answer, but Hodge Podge realizes they are cheating and cuts off their communication.

In Lunar Interlude 2, the party finds out that Angus has been hired by the Bureau of Balance as a seeker and will be working with the party to provide critical intel and support throughout their various missions. In episode 41, it is clarified that Angus joined the Bureau of Balance because he was such a good detective that had been hired to figure out many of the mysterious holes in people’s memories that he was edging his way toward either unraveling a Bureau of Balance conspiracy or working for them.
