Sir Henry Baskerville is a central character in Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles." He is the heir to the Baskerville estate and becomes embroiled in the mystery surrounding the legendary hound that is said to haunt his family. His importance to Dr. John Watson and Sherlock Holmes, particularly Mortimer, lies in the fact that he is the key to solving the mystery, as his life is threatened by the same supernatural forces that plagued his ancestors. Mortimer, as a friend and medical advisor, seeks Holmes' help to protect Sir Henry and uncover the truth behind the curse.
