Hodgkins' Lost Brother

Hodgkins' Lost Brother (Swedish: Fredriksons bortkomna bror) is a minor character only mentioned in passing in Moominpappa's Memoirs. He is a poet who wrote a collection of poems called the Ocean Orchestra, which Hodgkins' riverboat Oshun Oxtra was named after. It is known that Hodgkins is the Muddler's uncle on his fathers side, and while it is never stated directly, the fact that both Hodgkins' brother and the Muddler's parents are missing reinforces the theory that Hodgkins' brother is the Muddler's father, and by effect Sniff's grandfather.
