Sir Charles Baskerville is uncle to Sir Henry Baskerville and Jack Stapleton. He was the master of Baskerville Hall prior to his untimely death, which occurred while fleeing from Jack Stapleton’s hound. He was friends with Dr. James Mortimer. Sir Charles died an immensely rich man, despite a lifetime of philanthropic giving, including to Laura Lyons. He was said to have had a weak heart, which made him particularly vulnerable to the kind of fear caused by the mysterious hound.
