Henry Cogsworth (aka Cogsworth for short) is a fictional and major supporting character from Disney's 1991 animated feature film, Beauty and the Beast. He is the Beast's well-meaning, but grouchy majordomo who was turned into an enchanted pendulum clock, due to the Enchantress's curse.
As the Beast's majordomo, Cogsworth is the most powerful figure in the castle, second only to the master himself. He is in charge of all the servants and upholding the Beast's rules in the castle, no matter how harsh they may be. He is also one of the Beast's most trusted confidants and advisor. Despite his position, Cogsworth is not the most respected member of the household and is often the butt of their jokes— mainly those of his best friend Lumière, the castle's maître'd whom he often butts heads with.
