Who they are in the book
Spoiler-freeRoger begins by throwing stones near a smaller child while still constrained by the habits of adult punishment. As those restraints disappear, he becomes Jack’s most frightening enforcer. He tortures pigs, pushes the boulder that kills Piggy, and prepares a sharpened stick for Ralph’s head. Rescue interrupts the hunt. The novel gives no later account of him.
