Who is Uncle Rodney from Collected Stories of William Faulkner and what is their importance?

Uncle Rodney is Georgie's uncle from the story "That Will Be Fine." The adults believe Rodney is a lazy man who bums off his father. Georgie, on the other hand, has inside information on the real business that Rodney does although he doesn't understand this business. Rodney seems generous, giving gifts he can't afford as well as money to his nephew. Instead of being a lazy bum, Rodney is actually a scam artist. In the instance recorded in this short story, Rodney takes bonds from his work place then "pays" for them with a stolen and forged check. It is assumed Rodney is killed because of his fraudulent business.
