Beryl Stapleton is Jack Stapleton’s wife, although Jack claims to Dr. Mortimer, Sir Charles Baskerville, Sir Henry Baskerville, Laura Lyons, Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes, and others that Beryl is his sister. Although Jack physically abuses Beryl, she remains mostly obedient to him, even allowing Sir Henry to court her at her husband’s request. However, sensing the danger that Sir Charles Baskerville is in, she is quick to try to warn him off of Baskerville Hall, and quick to turn on Jack when Holmes discovers the murderous plot. Beryl is widely known for her beauty, which nearly everyone remarks upon.
