Sir Rodney Baskerville is a professor of maritime history, specializing in shipwrecks, salvage and recovery. He is also an oceanographer and practical sub aqua diver.

 

He has been a consultant on many legitimate treasure hunting expeditions, where gold coins and other valuable cargo has been recovered, amounting to $billions of dollars worth. Some of these expeditions relied on the intelligence and other, mathematical computations, of Baskerville and the academic institutions with which he sometimes collaborates.

 

Sir Rodney also represents geographical expeditions in negotiations with the owners of ship wrecks. Advising not to disclose the location of a find, until the percentages and ownership or any items to be raised, are actually recovered. He is a shrewd businessman.

 

In this Antarctic adventure, Sir Rodney has ties with MI6, and through the British Geographical Society (BGS) with the British Antarctic Survey. The BGS should not be confused with the Royal Geographical Society, or the Reform Club, both in London. He also works to further the aims of UNESCO generally, though cutting himself in for a slice of whatever pie is being shared out, so long as his portion is legal and agreed as such. His main interest is in proving or disproving the existence of Fabian von Bellinghausen's much downplayed claim to finding prehistoric insect remains at the South Pole.

 

He is not in any way related to the fictional character and location, Sir Hugo Baskerville and Baskerville Hall, in the Sherlock Holmes adventure by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Though he knows of the legend of Squire Richard Cabell of Brook Hall, in the parish of Buckfastleigh, Devon, which was the fundamental inspiration for the Hound of the Baskerville's tale of a hellish canine and a cursed country squire. This is the subject of many after dinner jokes and jibes at his expense.

 

Sir Rodney is also aware of the stunning, zero emission, Elizabeth Swann. And has heard of the exploits of John Storm as an ocean and climate campaigner, much admiring the daring of the conservationist in risking his professional reputation - and wishing that he had such a ship for use on his research. He is not aware of Lord Huntington's secret agendas.
