It is believed there is no actual person, but the origin of the name comes from the popular HomeStarRunner.com character Trogdor. Note that Rodgort is simply Trogdor spelled backwards.

Well, I'm almost positive that Rodgort is a dragon from what I see in the skill icon, but there isn't really anything else about him in the game.

Heres a bit of trivia from the wiki

Trivia

Rodgort spelled backwards is Trogdor, which is the name of a dragon from one of the Home Star Runner cartoons.

Trogdor was a troll from forgotten realms before it was a cartoon character.
It has other origins as well, before FR. But you can learn those on your own.

Just about everything in guildwars came from somewhere else. guildwars is so far, the recycling center of ideas. I'm not sure if ANYTHING in guildwars is original.

Rodgort is actually a california state fireman who starts wild fires. Ok maybe not.
