Rodger Baskerville was the youngest of three brothers: Charles, a second brother who fathered Henry Baskerville, and Rodger himself. He was the spitting image of Hugo Baskerville, the man who's actions (circa 1650) and fate created the legend of their family. Known as the black sheep of the family, Rodger gained a bad reputation in England and left for Central America where he died in 1876 of yellow fever.
