Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

On the first visit to Beast's Castle,Belle tells Sora to rescue Cogsworth and company from the castle dungeon. Upon doing so, he tells Sora about the Beast's curse and how they were imprisoned by the Beast. Then he and the others show Sora a secret passageway to the West Wing and the Beast's room - Cogsworth's job is to lower the lamps for Sora and company to light them. Cogsworth also moves the knights blocking the entrances to help movement for Sora and the others. When Sora,Donald, andGoofy fight the Beast to turn him back to normal, Cogsworth assists by making loud noises to wake the Beast up, with help from Sora's Keyblade.

Some time afterXemnas's defeat, the Beast was turned back to the Prince, implying that Cogsworth returned to his normal form as well.

Other appearances[edit]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

Cogsworth appears on Belle's Station in Sora'sDive to the Heart.

Design[edit]

Under the influence of the curse, Cogsworth takes the form of a mostly brown clock with a peach-colored clock face that is literally his face. He has straight, white teeth, close-set, green eyes, brown eyebrows, and a yellow "nose" that is actually a flat button that connects to the clock hands, which act as his "mustache". The hands are both brown and end in a heart-shaped point. The minute hand points to the diagonal lower-right and has a hollow point, with only the outline of the heart present. The hour hand points to the diagonal lower-left and has a solid point, as well as two small circles on the middle of the hand. He also has two small, brown triangles on his face, one on either side. There is a curly, brown and yellow woodcut design on the top of his head that vaguely resembles hair.

Cogsworth's body is rectangular and sports a case containing a circular, gold pendulum inside it, visible through a glass window on his chest. A gold design just under his head resembles an ascot. His "arms" are actually the yellow, curled handles on the sides of the clock, and the four, short legs of the clock act as his feet. He walks by moving two of the legs at once.

Personality[edit]

Cogsworth is a loyal butler to the Beast, and one of Lumière's closest friends. Although he means well, Cogsworth's serious demeanor and strict adherence to the rules often puts a strain on his relationship with the other servants. Oftentimes, Cogsworth's bossy attitude comes from his inclination to worry. Despite this, Cogsworth is able to get along with others, as shown in helping Sora through theSecret Passage. Like the other servants, Cogsworth wishes for the Beast to find true love, removing the enchantress's spell.

Origin[edit]

Cogsworth is originally from the filmBeauty and the Beast. In the film, Cogsworth and the other castle's residents were turned into household objects (in Cogsworth's case, a mantel clock) by an enchantress as punishment for the Prince's cold heart. Many years later, Belle's father,Maurice, stumbles in the castle to escape wild wolves and while Lumière and the other servants warmly welcomes him, Cogsworth vehemently opposed the idea of allowing a stranger into the castle due to their master's rules. However, the prince (now known as the Beast) discovers this and locks Maurice away in the dungeon while Cogsworth and the others sadly watch. When Belle comes to the castle in search for her father, Cogsworth and Lumière was bickering over the event when they saw her come in. Belle exchanged herself as Beast's prisoner and later refuses to dine with him, but later journeys into the dining room where Cogsworth participates (unwillingly) in Lumière's performance to entertain her.

Later, Cogsworth and Lumière provide Belle with a tour of the castle, warning her that she is free to go anywhere but the West Wing. Throughout the rest of the film, Cogsworth and the other servants observe Beast and Belle's budding romance, giving them hope that the curse will be broken and they will revert into humans. However, Beast releases Belle so she could go care for her sick father and Cogsworth was the first to hear of the news. He informs of the others, and became quite exasperated of the idea of Belle being the one to break the curse. WhenGaston storms the castle with angry villagers, Cogsworth and the others defend it. Once Beast and Belle confess their love for each other, the curse was broken and Lumière and the castle's residents transform back into humans. At the ball that was being held to celebrate, Cogsworth and Lumière got into another argument about who foretold the fact that Belle would break to spell first, which quickly escalates into a brawl.
