<mainpage-endcolumn />
In the 1970s, the Author settled in Gravity Falls in the midst of his travels, dedicating six long years to studying the supernatural secrets of Gravity Falls.<ref name="Ep101" /> His discoveries were recorded in a series of journals encrypted with a drawing of a six-fingered hand, representing his own.<ref name="Ep211"/><ref name="Ep212" /> Recruiting the help of a local technician [[Old Man McGucket|Fiddleford McGucket]], the Author's work centered on drafting plans to build a [[Universe portal|machine]] capable of benefiting all mankind. However, as construction went on, McGucket grew fearful and guilty of what he had done, and quit the project, erasing all his memory of it with his [[Memory erasing gun|memory erasing invention]].<ref name="Ep207">{{Cite episode|207}}</ref> Desperate to finish his creation and confident in its ability, the Author carried on the crafting of the device.

Eventually, Dipper and his family become entangled in Gideon's quest to learn the Author's secrets<ref>{{Cite episode|104}}</ref><ref>{{Cite episode|111}}</ref>, convinced this knowledge would give him unprecedented power that would allow him to take over Gravity Falls. Gideon nearly achieves his goal of gaining all three journals in "[[Gideon Rises]]," but is stopped by Dipper and [[Mabel Pines|Mabel]]. His defeat enables Stan to seize possession of ''Journal 2'', and Dipper's revelation of his ownership of ''Journal 3'' lets him complete this same goal.
 
 
=== Season 2 ===
 
[[File:S2e2 shoulder.png|thumb|right|The Shape Shifter impersonates the Author.]]
 
After learning about the invisible ink in his Journal<ref name="Ep201"/>, Dipper leads his friends into the Author's bunker to search for clues on his whereabouts in "[[Into the Bunker]]." There, they come face-to-face with the mysterious figure's 210th experiment, the Shape Shifter. After successfully recapturing the beast, they emerge with their greatest lead yet: the Author's [[laptop]].
 
 
In "[[Sock Opera]]," Dipper devotes himself almost excessively to cracking the password for the laptop. After innumerable failed attempts, he makes a deal with Bill Cipher, but is tricked into letting the demon take possession of his body. Bill destroys the laptop to prevent Dipper from coming any closer to finding out some "major answers" and attempts to do the same to ''Journal #3'', but is stopped by Mabel.
 
 
[[File:S2e7 old man mcgucket wrote the journals?!.png|thumb|left|Dipper concludes Old Man McGucket is the Author.]]
 
In "[[Society of the Blind Eye]]," after discovering that the laptop was manufactured by McGucket Labs, Dipper becomes convinced that Old Man McGucket is the Author of the books. In his confrontation with the elderly man, Dipper learns of the mysterious [[Blind Eye Society]] and goes to look for them. Recovering McGucket's stolen memories from the Society reminds him that he worked side by side with the Author (and that the laptop belonged to him, not the author), and begins trying to remember the man's identity.
 
 
In "[[Northwest Mansion Mystery|Northwest&nbsp;Mansion&nbsp;Mystery]]" McGucket succeeds in fixing the laptop, and discovers a countdown to an "Imminent Danger" which McGucket refers to as the end times.
 
[[File:S2e11 author revealed.jpg|thumb|220x220px|The Author revealed]]
 
In "[[Not What He Seems]]," it is revealed that Stan has been collecting radioactive waste, for the purpose of powering a doomsday device, and the twins encounter an old [[Stan Pines Dead|newspaper article]] which claims Stan Pines to be deceased. Contrary to this incriminating article, it is discovered that Stan Pines is at least the direct brother of, if not, the one mentioned in the article who is actually alive. At the same time as this discovery the author of the journals is definitively identified, after his emergence from a portal in the center of the aforementioned "doomsday device," by Stan's reference to him as his "brother."
 
 
==Appearance==
 
[[File:S2e11 six fingers.png|thumb|left|150px|His six fingers]]
 
Being the twin of [[Stan Pines]], the Author bears a close resemblance to him. However, there are a few notable differences: He appears younger than his brother, still having brown hair which is only partly grey, and only has a few hairs on his chin whereas his twin's is covered in grey stubble. He is seen wearing a large black coat with multiple pockets on the inside, and an item that appears to be a gun rested on his back. Underneath his coat, he wears a black shirt and pants. He also dons bulky black boots, a brown belt that slings from his shoulder, a tattered cape, and a gray scarf. He has a [[Wikipedia:Polydactyly|polydactyly]] (meaning, in this case, that he has an extra finger), and in fact, has six fingers on not only his left hand, but, it appears, on his right, as he displays when opening his coat at the end of "[[Not What He Seems]]."

==Trivia==
 
[[File:S1e20 Another book.PNG|thumb|The Author's symbol, a six-fingered left hand.]]
 
*[[Alex Hirsch]] has on multiple occasions joked about the Author's identity:
 
**He "leaked" a false image of a younger Old Man McGucket writing in a journal.<ref>{{Cite web |url = https://twitter.com/_alexhirsch/status/536054960018825217 |title = Tweet Number 536054960018825217 |accessdate = |author = [[Alex Hirsch|Hirsch, Alex]] |date = November 22, 2014 |quote = 1) Make hoax 2)Upload to 4Chan 3) Post angry tweet about "leak" 4) Delete tweet 5) Let internet do rest}}</ref>
 
**Via his Reddit AMA and Twitter account, he has stated the Author is actually [[Wikipedia:Geordi La Forge|Geordi La Forge]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |url = https://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch/status/535308123259408384 |title = Tweet Number 535308123259408384 |accessdate = |author = [[Alex Hirsch|Hirsch, Alex]] |date = November 20, 2014 |quote = The author of the journals is Geordie LaForge. That is now law. It can't be undone.}}</ref>
 
* In ''[[Journal 2]]'' on [[Bill Cipher]]'s page, there's a quote saying "He's in my wallet!". Under it, it shows half of the back of a [[Negative Twelve Dollar Bill]]. This is odd, considering [[Quentin Trembley|Quentin Trembley's]] time in office was long before the Author was born. This may mean that the Author is a collector, unless Bill is on other dollars.
 
*The Author wears the same type of glasses that Stan finds in "[[Carpet Diem]]."

Cipher Hunt Alex Hirsch Bill Cipher Statue

Cipher Hunt was an ARG (alternate reality game) about Gravity Falls created by Alex Hirsch. The goal of the game was to find an actual statue of Bill Cipher, briefly glimpsed in the series finale, by retrieving and decoding clues hidden in various locations around the world. The first ones to the statue received a prize, though the hunt was mainly about the journey and not the destination. It began on July 20, 2016 and finished on August 2, 2016.
