Denholme is the brother of Timothy Cavendish. The brothers have a strained relationship, with Timothy often trying to take out loans from his brother to pay off his many debts. When Timothy needs money to pay off Dermot’s brothers, he goes to Denholme and asks for help. But Denholme tricks Timothy, getting him committed to a nursing home called Aurora House. Denholme doesn’t get to enjoy his revenge for long, however, since he dies while Timothy is in Aurora House.
