Before his encounters with the ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley, and with the three Christmas Spirits, Scrooge was a mean, miserly, intensely selfish man. All this, of course, changed after those encounters.
It is impossible to say who is the most generous man or woman because most people like to give anonymously and in secret.
Initially he is a lonely child left in boarding school even at christmas when all others are at home with a loving facility. Then later he became fixated on making money, his miserly ways develop as he shuts out others who might care for him and finally seeing how his life has gone he is forced to realises that even in death he will be forever tormented and makes a change in helping others and keeping Christmas IN his heart thereafter
This is Dickens's description of how Scrooge looked and what he was like: . . . he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas. that's just what it says in the book please give a real answer because i need what he was like for a English essay!

On Christmas Eve, densely foggy and bitterly cold. There is snow on the ground during his visitations. But Dickens describes Christmas morning as: "No fog, no mist; clear, bright, jovial, stirring, cold; cold, piping for the blood to dance to; Golden sun-light; Heavenly sky; sweet fresh air; merry bells. Oh, glorious! Glorious!"
The Mystery Of Al Capone's Vaults was a one-time, live broadcast of the opening of a secret vault owned by him. So, yes, he did have a secret vault. Unfortunately, it contained nothing but debris.
