Rum Rogers, Jr.

From MIwiki

Rum Rogers, Jr. is the son of Mister Rogers, one of the four people to own a piece of the map to Big Whoop. He appears in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. He is a fat, grizzled pirate with white hair and a drunkard's tomato red nose. He makes frequent references to his earlier drinking days, and is currently retired.

Role in game

When his father disappeared, Rum Rogers, Jr. inherited his house off the shore of Phatt Island, along with its extensive collection of homebrewed liquor. Since then there has been a steady stream of treasure seekers at his door, all looking for the piece of the map to Big Whoop, something Rum Rogers, Jr. knows nothing about.

Two months after Rum Rogers, Jr. moved in, Guybrush shows up at his door. Guybrush refuses to leave when asked and challenges him to a duel. In return, Rum Rogers, Jr. challenges him to a drinking contest, using his father's homebrew, which he refers to as "Special Contest Grog". Guybrush wins by substituting the grog with near-grog, and Rum Rogers, Jr. turns out to be unable to quaff the stuff himself, collapsing in a faint on the floor.

Guybrush searches the cabin and finds the skeleton Rum Rogers Sr in a bathtub beneath the floorboards, clutching his piece of the map to Big Whoop.
