Biography: 

Referred to in Flags in the Dust as "the fattest man" in Yoknapatawpha, "Doc Peabody" is the only character to appear in each of the first three Yoknapatawpha novels. Quentin thinks of him by name only once in The Sound and the Fury (where he gives his weight as "three hundred pounds," 128), but he is probably also the doctor who sets and then has to re-set Quentin's leg after he breaks it (113).
