Gadd was a paranormal researcher and inventor who spend decades catching ghosts, until his old age finally caught up to him. He first met [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', where he helped Luigi save Mario by handing over his old ghost-catching equipment, including the spectral vacuum [[Poltergust 3000]], a communications/map/storing device called the [[Game Boy Horror]], and use of his Ghost Portrificationizer, which could turn ghosts into portraits and vice-versa. When Luigi had finally saved Mario, E. Gadd took the money he had collected and bought Luigi a real mansion of his own. |

Gadd left his ghost-catching behind him and decided to start up a chain of coffee shops known as Starbeans, using his self-designed bean mixer for bold new flavors. Customers who mixed new flavors were given special accessories in return for their services, as well as previews of his new inventions, like the Poltergust 3001 and a Boo's Sheet. Within the ''Minion Quest'' mode of the game's remake, he also appeared in a cave that he fell into while pursuing ghosts and could be found by [[Bowser]]'s minions. He talked about his research and his work on a time travel device, in reference to ''Partners in Time''. E. Gadd also appeared in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', as the host of a few events on his own personal board, E. Gadd's Garage, and in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', having invented various collectibles called Gaddgets. |
