SHE'S THE ONE LLED UPON TO FIGHT AND RORTS TO VLENCE MUCH MORE THAN HER SIBLGS (SHE'S THE ONE THAT SUGGTS BURNG DOWN THE HOTEL AND MURRG OLAF). SCE SHE'S JT A BABY, THE OVERALL EFFECT IS RATHER DISTURBG AND TRAGIC. VAGUE AGE: WHILE THE OTHER ORPHANS ARE GIVEN EXACT AG, SUNNY IS JT KNOWN AS A BABY. THIS IS PROBABLY TO KEEP HER ANTICS OM BEG TOO UNBELIEVABLE BY TYG TO AN AGE. WISE BEYOND HER YEARS: EVEN MORO THAN THE OTHER BLAIR, AS SHE'S A VERY TELLIGENT BABY.LEMONY SNICKET    LEMONY SNICKET LEMONY SNICKETTHE ARTIST HARD AT WORKTHE MYSTER NARRATOR OF THE SERI WHO HOLDS A TORCH FOR A CEASED WOMAN NAMED BEATRICE. ALTER-EGO ACTG: DANIEL HANDLER AND LEMONY SNICKET — SEPARATE CHARACTERS THE BOOKS THEMSELV. AUTHOR APPEAL: MILD EXAMPLE — DANIEL HANDLER IS SOMETHG OF A GOURMAND, AND HENCE THE LEMONY NARRATOR NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNY TO SCRIBE SOME LIC DISH, EVEN PROVIDG A SALAD RECIPE THE MIDST OF AN URGENT-SEEMG MSAGE TO HIS SISTER EMBEDD THE TENTH BOOK.DIRECT LE TO THE AUTHOR-->DOGGED NICE GUY--> THE EEYORE: HE IS VERY SAD. THE FACELS: LARGELY BEE HE'S A WANTED CRIMAL. AVERTED THE TV SERI; NOT ONLY DO WARBURTON CLEARLY SHOW HIS FACE TO THE DIENCE, BUT THERE ARE NUMERO NON-OBSCURED PHOTOGRAPHS OF SNICKET. FIRST-PERSON PERIPHERAL NARRATOR: LEMONY SNICKER DO NOT PARTAKE THE MA STORY THE BOOKS. HE ONLY ENUNTERS THE BLAIR THE PENULTIMATE EPISO THE TV SHOW BRIEFLY, AND AN ADOLCENT VERSN OF HIS NIECE THE FALE. GREEK CHOS: LEMONY SNICKET PROVIS A NNG MENTARY ON THE EVENTS, AND OFTEN ADDRS THE REAR DIRECTLY. HERO OF ANOTHER STORY: WHILE HE MENTNS REPEATEDLY HOW HE'S NOT VERY BRAVE, HE ALSO OFTEN MENTNS BEG BIZARRE AND EXPLIBLE EXPLOS OF HIS OWN THAT WOULD PUT THE BLAIRE MISFORTUN TO SHAME. AND HE'S THE MA CHARACTER OF THE PREQUEL/SP-OFF SERI. LEMONY NARRATOR: OF URSE. LOVABLE COWARD: LEMONY SNICKET HIMSELF. IN NEARLY EVERY BOOK, WHILE NARRATG SOME TERRIFYG SUATN, HE MENTS THAT, HAD HE BEEN THE BELAIRE'S PLACE, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GO ON AND WOULD HAVE STEAD N AWAY TERROR, DISSOLVED TO HELPLS TEARS, ETC. MY GREATT FAILURE: IN THE HOSTILE HOSPAL, HE MENTNS ONE OF HIS GREATT REGRETS IS TRODUCG BEATRICE TO ESMé SQUALOR. PLOT-BASED PHOTOGRAPH OBFTN: SNICKET NEVER SHOWS HIS FACE PHOTOGRAPHS, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL POSSIBLE EXPLANATNS FOR WHY THIS IS, AND MOST SUCH PHOTOGRAPHS ARE ONLY SEEN BY THE DIENCE HIS THOR B RATHER THAN BY THE CHARACTERS. THIS ALSO APPLI -UNIVERSE. A NOTE THE QUAGMIRE DIARI DITE THAT SNICKET'S FACE IS NEVER SEEN A PHOTOGRAPH. AND ED, WHEN THE BLAIR FD A PHOTO OF THEIR PARENTS, THERE IS AN UNINTIFIED MAN WH HIS BACK TURNED NEXT TO THEM. PG AFTER PROTAGONIST'S PARENT: LEMONY SNICKET HOLDS A TORCH FOR A WOMAN NAMED BEATRICE, WHO IS REVEALED TO BE THE MOTHER OF PROTAGONISTS VLET, KLS, AND SUNNY. STALKER WH A CSH: INVERTED — LEMONY'S A GOOD GUY, BUT HE DO STALK THE CHILDREN OF THE WOMAN HE LOVED BUT ULDN'T HAVE SPE APPARENTLY HAVG BEEN RECIPROL AT ONE POT. UNRELIABLE NARRATOR: HIS STYLE OF WRG AS WELL AS THE SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS GIVE ONE THE SENSE LEMONY MAY VERY WELL BE THIS. HE REPEATEDLY MAK ODDLY SPECIFIC SCRIPTNS OF PEOPLE AND EVENTS YET OBSCUR THE INTI OF THE PLAYERS, SHOWG THAT TO SOME EXTENT HE'S MANIPULATG THE PERCEPTN OF HIS DIENCE. ADDNALLY, THERE'S EVINCE THAT LEMONY MAY NOT HAVE A PROPER GRASP OF HIS OWN MEMORI, PECIALLY KNOWG THAT ACRDG TO HIS "UNTHORIZED TOBGRAPHY", LEMONY HAS BEEN MORE OR LS WORKG WH V.F.D. SCE HE WAS A TODDLER.COUNT OLAF'S THEATER TROUPE    IN GENERAL COUNT OLAF'S THEATER TROUPECOUNT OLAF HAS A LARGE VARIETY OF HENCHMEN HE LLS HIS "ACTG TROUPE". CHUCK CUNNGHAM SYNDROME: THE TROUPE HAD TEN MEMBERS, NOT UNTG OLAF HIMSELF, THE FIRST BOOK, BUT ONLY FIVE NTUED APPEARG AFTER THAT. THE WART-FACED MAN WAS THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE ENOUGH PRENCE FOR HIS DISAPPEARANCE TO BE NOTICEABLE, AS THE OTHER FOUR — A WOMAN WH VERY SHORT HAIR AND THREE SHORT MEN — ARE ONLY SCRIBED BRIEF. DWDLG PARTY: STARTG AROUND THE HOSTILE HOSPAL THE HENCHMEN BEG LEAVG THE GROUP EHER VIA HEEL–FACE TURN (THE HOOK-HAND MAN AND THE WHE-FACED WOMEN) OR DYG (THE BALD MAN AND THE PERSON OF TERMATE GENR). BY THE PENULTIMATE PERIL, OF THE ORIGAL TROUPE MEMBERS PRENT SCE THE BAD BEGNG, ONLY OLAF REMAS AND THE MORE RECENT ADDNS TO THE TROUPE ARE ABANDONED TO THE HOTEL FIRE AT THE END OF THE BOOK BY OLAF. EVEN EVIL HAS LOVED ON: FERNALD HAS A SISTER, AND THE WHE-FACED WOMEN ONCE DID AS WELL. EVEN EVIL HAS STANDARDS: MOST OF THEM ARE HORRIFIED AT OLAF'S LLO DISREGARD FOR THE ATH OF THE ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE NEHER A MAN NOR A WOMAN. HYPER-COMPETENT SIKICK: SEE MASTER OF DISGUISE BELOW. MASTER OF DISGUISE: WH THE EXCEPTN OF THE ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE NEHER A MAN NOR A WOMAN, THEY'RE A LOT BETTER AT THAN OLAF; THE BLAIR NEVER SEE THROUGH THEM. MN WH AN F EVIL: IN THE ADAPTATNS. IN THE ORIGAL BOOKS THEY'RE QUE AS EVIL AS OLAF AND ARGUABLY MORE PETENT THAN HIM. PUNCH-CLOCK VILLA: ALL OF THEM, WH VARYG GRE OF ACTUAL MALICE VOLVED. SIGNIFINT ANAGRAM: EACH HAS A GO-TO ALIAS WHICH IS AN ANAGRAM OF "COUNT OLAF". THE TROPE WHOUT A TLE: PRR TO THE RNIVAL EAKS JOG THE TROUPE, EVERY ONE OF THEM IS REFERRED TO THIS WAY. THIS EVENTUALLY CHANG FOR THE HOOK-HAND MAN; THE 11TH BOOK REVEALS HIS REAL NAME AS WELL AS REVEALG THAT OLAF LLS HIM "HOOKY". VILLAO FRIENDSHIP: IT SEEMS THAT THEY ALL TLY DO ENJOY EACH OTHER'S PANY. THEY EVEN EXPRS SORROW WHEN THE PERSON WHO LOOKS LIKE NEHER A MAN NOR A WOMAN DI A FIRE.    COUNT OLAF COUNT OLAFTHE MA VILLA OF THE SERI, COUNT OLAF IS A VILLAO ACTOR WHOSE GOAL IS TO MURR THE BLAIRE CHILDREN AND STEAL THEIR FORTUNE, NO MATTER WHERE THEY GO AND HOW MANY STUPID DISGUIS HE HAS TO WEAR. HE'S REVEALED TO HAVE A NNECTN TO THE SHADOWY ANIZATN KNOWN AS V.F.D.. ABIVE PARENTS: HE'S ONE TO THE BLAIR… AN ABIVE FOSTER PARENT, ANYWAY. ADULTS ARE USELS: AVERTED — HE IS THE MOST PETENT VILLA THIS SERI AND ONLY THE BLAIR MANAGE TO THWART HIM. AGONIZG STOMACH WOUND: HOW HE FALLY BUYS . HE LIV LONG ENOUGH TO HELP K, BUT THAT'S .

ALTHOUGH HE HAS EATEN AN APPLE THAT CUR HIM OF THE MSOID MYCELIUM THAT WAS RELEASED WHEN HE WAS HARPOONED, HE SUCCUMBS TO HIS HARPOON WOUND, BUT NOT BEFORE RECG THE CLOSG STANZA OF A POEM AND GIVG OUT ONE FAL "HA!" THE ALHOLIC: HIS HOE IS LTERED WH EMPTY WE BOTTL, HE GETS HEAVILY DNK AT THE DNER WHERE HE STRIK KLS, AND THE BLAIRE CHILDREN OUTRIGHT STATE TO MR. POE THAT HE "DRKS TOO MUCH WE". AMBIGUOLY RELATED: HE BE THE GUARDIAN OF THE BLAIRE CHILDREN THROUGH CLAIMG HE'S A CLOSE RELATIVE OF THEIRS. THERE IS NEVER ANY EVINCE TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM, BUT 'S MENTNED THAT HIS HOODWKG OF THE LAW ON THIS ISSUE RELIED ON NVCG MR POE THAT "CLOST-LIVG RELATIVE" MEANS "THE RELATIVE WHO LIV CLOST"... SUGGTG THAT HE MAY STILL GENUELY BE A DISTANT . ARISTOCRATS ARE EVIL: HE IS A UNT, OR SO HE'S LLED, AND THE BIG BAD OF THE SERI. ATTENTN WHORE: HE MANDS HE BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTN AT ALL TIM, EVEN WHEN HE'S DISGUISE. ATTRACTIVE BENT-GENR: PLSIBLY A PARODY, AS THE PERSON WHO FDS THE CROSS DRSER OLAF ATTRACTIVE IS HIMSELF AN UNPLEASANT SEMI-VILLA. BAD BOSS: HE EQUENTLY YELLS AT HIS HENCHMEN, LLS THEM IDTS AND EVEN SHOWS NO REGARD FOR ANY OF THEIR ATHS. BALD OF EVIL: HE HAS LTLE-TO-NO HAIR ON HIS HEAD AND IS A WICKED DIVIDUAL. BIG BAD: OLAF IS THE MA ANTAGONIST PURSUG THE BLAIR. BIG SLEEP: HE DI OF A HARPOON GUN WOUND WH HIS EY CLOSED.

CARD-CARRYG VILLA: HE'S PRETTY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT HE SETS FIR AND KIDNAPS CHILDREN FOR THEIR FORTUNE. CLARK KENTG: THE BLAIR NEVER FALL FOR . EVERYONE ELSE DO (SUBVERTED THE END, WHERE EVERYONE SE THROUGH HIS FAILED DISGUISE AS K SNICKET). LEMONY SNICKET'S UNOFFICIAL AUTOBGRAPHY REVEALS THAT NONE OF THE DISGUIS THAT HE'S ED THE SERI ARE EVEN OF HIS OWN VENTN, THEY'RE MOLDY LEFTOVERS OM A GENERIC V.F.D. DISGUISE K HE RECEIVED BACK WHEN HE ED TO BE A MEMBER. DEVIL PLA SIGHT: PART OF THE TRAGEDY AND DARK EDY OF THE SERI OM EVERYONE BARRG THE BLAIR BEG OBLIV EHER TO JT HOW EVIL HE IS OR WHEN HE'S WEARG A DISGUISE, SPE HOW OBV IS. CREEPY CROSSDRSER: ON TWO OCSNS, THE FIRST TIME DRSED AS A SECRETARY NAMED SHIRLEY AND THE SEND AS K SNICKET. DETERMATOR: AS HE SWEARS AT THE END OF THE FIRST BOOK, HE WILL GET THE BLAIRE FORTUNE IF 'S THE LAST THG HE DO. HE MAK GOOD ON HIS PROMISE BY HOUNDG THEM FOR THE NEXT 12 BOOKS, UNTIL HE DI. DIRTY OLD MAN: IN THE FIRST BOOK, AFTER HE MARRI VLET ON THE STAGE, HE SAYS THEY NEED TO GO HOME FOR THEIR WEDDG NIGHT. DON'T YOU DARE PY ME!: TO THE BLAIR AND K THE FAL BOOK, THOUGH NEHER PARTY WAS MUCH OF A HURRY TO DO SO. EYE MOTIFS: HE HAS IMAG OF EY ALL OVER HIS HOE AND A TATTOO OF AN EYE ON HIS ANKLE. SEEG THIS THE FIRST BOOK, THE BLAIRE CHILDREN WONR IF THEY'LL FEEL LIKE COUNT OLAF IS WATCHG THEM FOR THE RT OF THEIR LIV. INED, HE FOLLOWS THEM FOR THE NEXT 12 BOOKS. EVIL IS PETTY: COUNT OLAF FORC THE ORPHANS TO DO ALL HIS HOEHOLD CHOR WHEN THEY FIRST STAY WH HIM. ALSO, BOOK 3, HE BRIEFLY NSIRS AUNT JOSEPHE'S OFFER TO FAKE HER ATH AND LET HIM HAVE THE BLAIR, BUT CHANG HIS MD AND THROWS HER TO THE LAKE TO BE EATEN BY THE LACHRYMOSE LEECH WHEN SHE FOOLISHLY RRECTS HIS GRAMMAR. THIS QUOTE:"I THK THE FIRST THG I'LL BUY FOR MYSELF IS A SHY NEW R! SOMETHG WH A POWERFUL ENGE, SO I N DRIVE FASTER THAN THE LEGAL LIM, AND AN EXTRA-THICK BUMPER, SO I N RAM TO PEOPLE WHOUT GETTG ALL SCRATCHED UP!" EVIL LGH: ONE OF THE THOR'S MORE QUTNABLE CHOIC BOOKS 11 AND 12. EVIL OLD FOLKS: HE'S SIGNIFINTLY OLR THAN MOST OF THE ADULT CHARACTERS THE SERI AND, ON MULTIPLE OCSNS, HE'S ATTEMPTED TO KILL A BUNCH OF CHILDREN JT TO GET THEIR FORTUNE. EVIL PLAN: THROUGHOUT THE SERI HE SCHEM TO STEAL THE BLAIR CHILDREN' HERANCE, THOUGH THE MANNER CHANG. ONE TIME HE TRI TO TRICK VLET TO MARRYG HIM. EXPY: APPEARS TO BE HEAVILY BASED OFF OF OSAMU TEZA'S CHARACTER, DE RED. BOTH HAVE SIAR HAIR, A POTY NOSE, CLOTH AND THE FACT THAT BOTH CHARACTERS ARE MASTERS OF DISGUISE. FAIAL FOE: COUNT OLAF SPENDS ALL THIRTEEN BOOKS TERRORIZG THE BLAIRE SIBLGS AND ONCE VIEWED THEIR LATE PARENTS AS SWORN ENEMI. HE ALSO KILLS A UPLE OF DISTANT BLAIRE S TO FURTHER HIS PLANS. FXREIGNER: ONE OF HIS DISGUIS IS AN CTNEER OM AN AMBIGUO UNTRY NAMED GUNTHER, PLETE WH A SILLY ACCENT. HIDN DEPTHS: OLAF HAS A MYSTER PAST AND IS APPARENTLY AN ORPHAN HIMSELF. HE ALSO APPARENTLY HAD SOME SORT OF RELATNSHIP WH K SNICKET. HIGH-CLASS GLASS: AS GUNTHER. HYPOCRIL HUMOR: WHEN DISGUISED AS CAPTA SHAM, HE SAYS, "THERE A'T NOTH' BETTER THAN GOOD GRAMMAR!". ILLEGAL GUARDIAN: PLAYED UTTERLY STRAIGHT AT FIRST BOOK ONE BY CLAIMG HE IS THE "CLOST LIVG RELATIVE" THAT HE IS SUPPOSEDLY A RELATIVE AND LIV THE CLOST TO THEM PHYSILLY. IRONIC HELL: THE BLAIR ARE WONRFULLY BRIGHT AND KD CHILDREN WHO HE EQUENTLY TRI TO MURR EVEN THOUGH THEY HADN'T DONE ANYTHG TO SERVE . LATER, ESMé ADOPTS CARMELA SPATS, WHO IS A MONUMENTAL BRAT THAT ENDLSLY HARANGU AND BULLI OLAF, BUT BEE HIS GIRLIEND IS SO FOND OF HER, HE N DO LTLE BUT GRIMACE AND BEAR THE ABE. JT A STUPID ACCENT: WHILST DISGUISED AS STEPHANO AND GUNTHER. KARMA HOUDI WARRANTY: THROUGHOUT THE SERI, HIS PLANS ARE NSTANTLY THWARTED, BUT HE ALWAYS MANAG TO PE PUNISHMENT AND GO ON TO THREATEN THE BLAIR AGA. HIS STREAK FALLY TO AN END BOOK 13, WHERE HE'S SHOT WH A HARPOON GUN AND SUCCUMBS TO THE WOUND. KARMIC DEATH: THOUGH FAR TOO LATE FOR THE BLAIR' TASTE, THE TOXIC MHROOMS HE PLANNED TO E TO THREATEN HIS ENEMI DIRECTLY LED TO HIS ATH. LARGE HAM: OLAF'S ACTG IS VERY OVER-THE-TOP. IT PROBABLY HELPS THE BLAIR REGNIZE HIM ALL THE TIME. LEAN AND MEAN: SKNY AS A RAIL AND UTTERLY VILE. MANIPULATIVE BASTARD: THOUGH HAVG SAID THAT, DON'T REALLY APPEAR THAT DIFFICULT TO MANIPULATE SOMEONE THE SNICKETVERSE. THE MISTRS: TO THE ALREADY MARRIED ESMé GIGI GENEVIEVE SQUALOR. (SURPRISGLY, THE FACT THAT SHE IS MARRIED IS NEVER LAMPSHAD THE SERI.) MISTER SEAHORSE: SENT UP THE END, WHERE COUNT OLAF TRI TO DISGUISE HIMSELF AS A PREGNANT WOMAN. THE LEMONY NARRATOR STAT THAT "PREGNANCY OCCURS VERY RARELY MAL", NOTG ACTUAL SEAHORS AS AN EXCEPTN. MORALY PET: K SNICKET. THE ONLY GOOD ED HE DO HIS LIFE IS TO RRY HER TO A SAFE PLACE TO GIVE BIRTH. MYSTER PAST: DUNN AND ISADORA QUAGMIRE MENTN NEWSPAPER ARTICL THAT A MAN WH SIAR TRAS AS OLAF HAD STRANGLED A BISHOP AND PED PRISON JT TEN MUT, AND ANOTHER REPORTS OF HIM THROWG A WEALTHY WIDOW OFF A CLIFF. THE BLAIRE CHILDREN AGREE THAT SOUNDS LIKE OLAF AND BELIEVE HIM TO BE THE MAN MENTNED THE ARTICL. NOT ME THIS TIME: …MAYBE? HIS LAST MOMENTS IMPLY THAT NO, HE REALLY DIDN'T KILL MR. AND MRS. BLAIRE, EVEN THOUGH HIS PLANS OM THE BEGNG HAVE REVOLVED AROUND SEIZG THEIR FORTUNE OM THE ORPHANS THEY LEFT BEHD. GOD ONLY KNOWS IF HE WAS TELLG THE TTH — OR IF THAT'S EVEN WHAT HE MEANT. IT'S JT VAGUE ENOUGH THAT WE'LL NEVER BE SURE. JT LIKE EVERYTHG ELSE THIS SERI. OBFTG STUPIDY: THERE ARE SEVERAL STANC WHERE HE SEEMS TO DISPLAY MORE CLEVERNS THAN THE NARRATN AND HIS ANTI-TELLECTUAL ATTU SUGGTS (E.G. BEG ABLE TO REGNIZE A D FFEE STA ON A MAP). IN FACT, WHEN K SNICKET REC SOME POETRY TO HIM, HIS RPONSE IS ALONG THE L OF "YOU THK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO N QUOTE POETRY?" THIS IS PECIALLY NOTABLE BEE WELL-READNS IS SUPPOSEDLY A TRA EXCLIVE TO THE NOBLE SI OF THE SCHISM. OLD MAN MARRYG A CHILD: HE ATTEMPTS THIS WH VLET THE FIRST BOOK AND THE FILM AND TV SERI ADAPTATNS.

PAPER-TH DISGUISE: HIS DISGUIS ONLY EVER VER UP HIS UNIBROW AND ANKLE TATTOO, WHICH IS WHAT EVERYONE ALWAYS REGNIZ HIM BY. PET THE DOG: JT BEFORE HIS ATH, HE HELPS K SNICKET LIVER HER BABY DGHTER AND THEY SHARE A TENR MOMENT RECG POETRY. VLET EVEN NOT THAT MIGHT EVEN BE THE SOLE SELFLS ACT HIS LIFE. THE POWER OF LOVE: WHAT SNAPS HIM OUT OF HIS DPAIR EVENT HORIZON THE FAL BOOK TO AID K SNICKET ONE LAST TIME. PYROMANIAC: IT'S CLEAR THAT HE HAS AT LEAST BURNED A HOSPAL, A RNIVAL, AND A HOTEL TO GROUND AND 'S SUGGTED THAT HE ALSO BURNED THE BLAIR' MANSN, BUT SNICKET NEVER NFIRMED THE FACT. IN THE FAL BOOK, THE BLAIR NONT OLAF OVER THEIR SPICNS OF HIM BURNG DOWN THEIR MANSN. HIS IAL RPONSE IS "IS THAT WHAT YOU THK?" FOLLOWED BY "YOU KNOW NOTHG." REMPTN EQUALS DEATH: HIS LAST ACTN BEFORE DYG IS RCUG K SNICKET. SMALL NAME, BIG EGO: WHILE A MAJOR ANTAGONISTIC FIGURE THE LIV OF THE BLAIR, HE'S ULTIMATELY REVEALED TO BE A B PLAYER THE WORLDS OF THEATRE, PNAGE, AND VILLAY AS THE STORY PROGRS. SMALL ROLE, BIG IMPACT: HE'S ONE OF THE PRIMARY STIGATORS OF THE VFD SCHISM, BUT AFTERWARDS, HE SPENT THE FOLLOWG S TRYG TO GET RICH THROUGH ILLIC AND LARGELY UNSUCCSFUL MONEYMAKG SCHEM, AND HIDG OUT HIS SHODDY HOME TO WA FOR HIS NEARBY RELATIV TO PASS ON SO HE ULD MAKE A GO AT THEIR FORTUNE.SMUG SNAKE:--> UNCLEANLS IS NEXT TO UNGODLS: OLAF HAS VERY POOR HYGIENE. THE UNREVEAL: DID OLAF BURN DOWN THE BLAIRE MANSN? THE FILM OF THE BOOK AT THE VERY LEAST STRONGLY SUAT HE DID, BUT THE ORIGAL BOOKS AND THE NETFLIX ADAPTATN HAVE HIM NY WHEN ASKED, AND THE LATTER S THE BLAIR HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE. VILLAO CSH: IMPLIED WH VLET THE FIRST BOOK SCE HIS PLANS FOR HER CLUD MARRIAGE AND THE NSUMMATN THEREOF. WANNABE SECRET AGENT: LEMONY SNICKET'S UNTHORIZED AUTOBGRAPHY REVEALS THAT HE WAS AN AGENT OF V.F.D. WHEN HE WAS A CHILD AND FOR ALL THE BEDLAM HE WAS PABLE OF, 'S HEAVILY IMPLIED THAT HE WASN'T A VERY GOOD MEMBER, BOTH TERMS OF MORALY AND PETENCY. WOOBIE, DTROYER OF WORLDS: MAYBE. IT'S IMPLIED THAT BEATRICE AND/OR BERTRAND BLAIRE AND/OR LEMONY SNICKET KILLED HIS PARENTS WH POISON DARTS DURG A PERFORMANCE OF LA FORZA L DTO. WOULD HURT A CHILD: HIS PLAN TO GET THE BLAIRE FORTUNE HAVE CLUD HIM ATTEMPTG TO KILL THE TR. ONE CLUD ATTEMPTED MARRIAGE. YOU ARE WHAT YOU HATE: OLAF, A MAN WHOSE PARENTS WERE KILLED BY POISON DARTS WHILE AT AN OPERA HOE, HAS A LICENSE PLATE WH "IH8ORPHANS" SCRIBED ON . YOU KILLED MY FATHER: THE FILM NFIRMS THAT HE WAS RPONSIBLE FOR THE ATH OFTHE BLAIR' PARENTS AND THE BURNG OF THEIR MANSN, AS KLS FDS THE GIANT MAGNIFYG GLASS RPONSIBLE FOR AND EXPOS BY BURNG THE WEDDG NTRACT. IN THE BOOKS AND THE NETFLIX ADAPTATN THE BLAIR THK HE'S RPONSIBLE, BUT WHEN THEY FALLY DIRECTLY NONT HIM ABOUT JT BEFORE HIS ATH HE NI . YOUNGER THAN THEY LOOK: HTS THROUGHOUT THE LATER BOOKS WOULD SUGGT THAT OLAF WAS V.F.D. TRAG WH K AND LEMONY, MAKG HIM AROUND 39-45, BUT HELQUIST'S ILLTRATNS PICT A MAN THAT LOOKS AROUND 50-60 YEARS OF AGE. ALSO, THE MOVIE'S PICTN. THIS MAY BE JTIFIED DUE TO HIS UNHEALTHY LIFTYLE AND FILTHY HABS GIVG HIM A PREMATURELY AGED APPEARANCE.    THE HOOK-HAND MAN O. LUFONT / HOOKY / FERNALD / THE HOOK-HAND MAN B CRASH: MIGHT HAVE DIED AFTER HIS OFFSCREEN DCHG OF OLAF. DIRTY OLD MAN: IN REGARDS TO VLET. HE NSTANTLY MENTS ON HOW PRETTY SHE IS EVEN WHEN HE HAS HER TRAPPED OLAF'S TOWER "THE BAD BEGNG". EVIL IS PETTY: HIS IA OF HAVG A GOOD DREAM IS SNEEZG WHOUT VERG HIS MOUTH AND GIVG EVERYONE THE LD. GO-TO ALIAS: LUFONT, ED BOOKS 2 AND 8, THE LATTER OF WHICH REVEALS THAT THE ALIAS ALSO CLUS THE FIRST IAL O, TO MAKE A FULL ANAGRAM OF "COUNT OLAF". HEEL–FACE REVOLVG DOOR: IT SEEMS LIKE HIS WHOLE LIFE IS A CHA OF HEEL–FACE TURN FOLLOWED BY FACE–HEEL TURN; THE ELEVENTH BOOK, HE MANAG TO DO BOTH THE SPACE OF THREE CHAPTERS. HEEL–FACE TURN: DCH OLAF WHEN HE RN WH HIS FAY. HEEL REALIZATN: WHEN FNA NONTS HIM OVER LOSG HIS HANDS, SETTG FIR AS THE DAILY PUNCTIL REPORTS AND LEARNG HE IS ONE OF OLAF'S HENCHMEN. HE DON'T NY HAVG SET THE FIR AND HAS THE GALL TO BLAME A ATHLY-ILL SUNNY FOR GETTG HIM TO SO MUCH TROUBLE, BUT HE ADMS THAT JOG OLAF'S BAND WAS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR. SO MUCH THAT THEY PE TOGETHER AN OFFSCREEN MOMENT OF AWOME OM OLAF AFTER FNA BE A FAKE DEFECTOR. HOOK HAND: BOTH OF HIS HANDS. BOTH THE BOOK AND THE FILM PICT THEM AS STANDARD PIRATE HOOKS WHILST THE NETFLIX VERSN HAS THEM AS MORE REALISTIC PROSTHETICS. MORALY CHA: HIS YOUNGER SISTER FNA. WHEN SHE PLEADS WH HIM TO HELP HER AND THE BLAIR, HE AGRE, ON THE NDN THAT HE N GO WH THEM. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, WHEN THAT PLAN FAILS, FNA BE A FAKE DEFECTOR, AND THEY BOTH PE OM OLAF AN OFFSCREEN MOMENT OF AWOME. MYSTER PAST: IT'S NOT KNOWN EXACTLY HOW HE LOST HIS HANDS, OTHER THAN THE POSSIBILY THAT ARSON WAS VOLVED. HOW HIS BURNG OF ANWHISTLE AQUATICS WENT DOWN IS LIKEWISE UNCERTA. HE SAYS THAT THE DAILY PUNCTILL'S ACUNTG OF EVENTS IS ACCURATE AND THE NARRATN IMPLI THAT HIS STEPFATHER AND/OR LEMONY MIGHT HAVE PLAYED A ROLE, BUT THAT'S ABOUT . NO FULL NAME GIVEN: WHILE THE GRIM GROTTO REVEALS HIS FIRST NAME, AN ARTICLE THE DAILY PUNCTIL ERRONEOLY GIV HIS NAME AS "FERNALD WIDRSHS". HE SISTS THAT 'WIDRSHS' ISN'T ACTUALLY HIS LAST NAME, BUT WHAT IS ISN'T REVEALED. SCREW THIS, I'M OUTTA HERE: IN THE 12TH BOOK, DCH OLAF WH HIS SISTER OFF-PAGE. STEALTH MENTOR: IN THE ERSATZ ELEVATOR, HE DRAWS ATTENTN TO THE FACT THAT OLAF NEVER LEFT THE BUILDG, THEN SUBTLY TIPS THE BLAIR OFF THAT THEY SHOULD LOOK AT THE ELEVATOR MORE CLOSELY. ONCE WE LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM, THIS STARTS TO MAKE MORE SENSE. THIS MAY BE THE SE AS FAR BACK AS THE FIRST BOOK. THOUGH HE LIVERS AS A THREAT, HE GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO WARN THE BLAIR THAT OLAF WILL KILL THEM IF HE SUCCEEDS GETTG THEIR FORTUNE. YOUNGER THAN THEY LOOK: THOUGH HIS AGE ISN'T STATED, HE'S APPARENTLY YOUNG ENOUGH TO HAVE A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SISTER, THOUGH 'S IMPLIED THAT THERE'S A SIGNIFINT GAP, HE'S LIKELY BETWEEN 25-30.    THE BALD MAN WH A LONG NOSE FLACUTONO / THE BALD MAN WH A LONG NOSE ADAPTATN NAME CHANGE: MERELY "BALD MAN" BOTH ADAPTATNS, AS NEHER OF THE ACTORS TO PLAY HIM HAS A LONG NOSE.

GO-TO ALIAS: FLACUTONO, ED BOOKS 4 AND 8. KICK THE DOG: THOUGH TRIPPG KLS AND BREAKG HIS GLASS THE 4TH BOOK WAS PART OF THE PLAN, HE DIDN'T NEED TO ENJOY SO MUCH. IT'S ALSO SEEN HIS DISGUISE AS FOREMAN FLACUTONO THE SAME BOOK, WHERE HE TREATS THE L WORKERS VERY LY AND POORLY. SISTER SCHNOZ: ONE OF HIS FG TRAS.    THE TWO WHE-FACED WOMEN TOCUNA AND FLO / THE TWO WHE-FACED WOMEN EVEN EVIL HAS STANDARDS: THE REASON FOR THEIR HEEL–FACE TURN IS THEIR GROWG SYMPATHY TOWARDS A PTIVE SUNNY (WHO MIGHT HAVE REMD THEM OF THEIR LATE SISTER) AND THEIR SPICN THAT OLAF WAS RPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SIBLG'S ATH. THEY'RE ALSO THE ON TO POT OUT TO THE RT OF THE GROUP THAT HAVG A PTIVE FANT HANDLE ALL THE OKG AND THEN PUNISHG SAID FANT FOR NOT MAKG A GOURMET MEAL MIGHT BE A LTLE UNREASONABLE. GO-TO ALIAS: THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE ALIAS THEIR LUNCHLADY DISGUIS, BOOK 8 IMPLI THEY UALLY GO BY "TOCUNA" AND "FLO", WHICH TOGETHER FORM ANOTHER "COUNT OLAF" ANAGRAM. HEEL–FACE TURN: IN BOOK 10, THEY GET TIRED OF HEARG ABOUT ALL THE TERRIBLE THGS OLAF HAS DONE, AS REMDS THEM OF THEIR SPICN THAT OLAF SET THE FIRE THAT KILLED THEIR SISTER. NAMED BY THE ADAPTATN: JANE AND JEN THE FILM AND VIO GAME. A SE OF THE DANZA WH THEM BEG PLAYED BY JANE ADAMS AND JENNIFER COOLIDGE. SCREW THIS, I'M OUTTA HERE: IN BOOK 10, THEY WALK AWAY OM OLAF'S MP AND ARE NEVER SEEN AGA.    THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE NEHER A MAN NOR A WOMAN THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE NEHER A MAN NOR A WOMAN ADAPTATNAL ATTRACTIVENS: DCRIBED AS VERY FAT THE BOOKS, BUT NOT FAT THE MOVIE OR TV SERI.

THE DREAD: JUDGG BY VLET AND KLS'S REACTNS TO FDG THEM THE SAILBOAT RENTAL SHACK. FAT BASTARD: IMMENSELY FAT AND MONSTROLY EVIL THE BOOKS. AVERTED THE FILM AND THE NETFLIX VERSNS, WHERE THEY ARE PORTRAYED AS MORE AVERAGE SIZE. GENR FLIP: OF A SORT. THOUGH ORIGALLY SCRIBED AS A PERSON WHOSE GENR IS TERMATE, BOTH ADAPTATNS PICT THEM AS A MAN WH A SLIGHTLY FEME FASHN SENSE. NO-SELL: SUNNY'S TEETH WHICH ARE SHARP ENOUGH TO CUT WOOD, BE OFF PROSTHETIC HANDS, FIGHT EVENLY WH A SWORD, AND CUT TO STONE/NCRETE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON THEM! STOUT STRENGTH: IS ABLE TO LIFT ALL THREE ORPHANS WH NO PROBLEM. THE VOICELS: IT'S IMPLIED THAT THEY N SPEAK AT LEAST TO OLAF, AS THEY APPARENTLY RM OLAF THAT THE ORPHANS STOLE ONE OF HIS SAILBOATS. EHER WAY, THEY NEVER SPEAK ANYTHG OTHER THAN HUMAN GROANS, FURTHER OBFTG THEIR GENR.    THE WART-FACED MAN THE WART-FACED MAN CHUCK CUNNGHAM SYNDROME: HE APPEARS WH THE RT OF THE TROUPE THE FIRST BOOK AND P WH THEM, BUT NEVER APPEARS AGA. HYPER-COMPETENT SIKICK: IS THE ONE WHO TURNS OFF THE LIGHTS SO COUNT OLAF AND HIS HENCHMEN N PE. INFORMED ATTRIBUTE: HE IS NOTED AS BEG "IMPORTANT LOOKG", BUT WHAT EXACTLY MAK HIM IMPORTANT IS NOT CLEAR. THOUGH THE BIG FISH VIO GAME PICTED HIM A SU AND TIE. RIDDLE FOR THE AG: SERLY, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THIS GUY? A SONG RERD FOR THE TRAGIC TREASURY, "SCREAM AND RUN AWAY", MENTNS "ONE LONG-NOSED BALD MAN WH WARTS", DITG THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN RETROACTIVELY BED WH THE BALD MAN.    THE CARNIVAL FREAKS THE CARNIVAL FREAKS ARSON, MURR, AND JAYWALKG: HUGO THE HUNCHBACK, COLETTE THE NTORTNIST, AND KEV... WHO IS AMBIXTRO. CONTORTNIST: COLETTE WORKS AS ONE THE CARNIVORO CARNIVAL. NICE, MEAN, AND IN-BETWEEN: HUGO (NICE) IS POLE AND DO MOST OF CHOR THE RAVAN. KEV (MEAN) IS WAS THE LEAST POLE TO BLAIR OM THE START, BELTL OTHER'S PROBLEMS (MOST NOTABLY THE HOOK-HAND MAN'S PROBLEMS)AND IS THE MOST WILLG TO JO OLAF. COLETTE (-BETWEEN) IS POLE AND PASSNATE BUT DO LS THAN HUGO. I JT WANT TO BE NORMAL: THE REASON THEY JO OLAF. SUBVERTED BY THE FACT THAT MOST PEOPLE DO ED THK THEY'RE DISGTG EAKS. PROPERLY PARANOID: KEV IS NVCED THAT EVERYONE IS WHISPERG ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME, JT BEE HE'S AMBIXTRO. THERE IS NO REASON FOR PEOPLE TO THK THERE'S ANYTHG DIFFERENT ABOUT HIM AT FIRST GLANCE, BUT HE APPEARS TO THK THERE IS, EVEN ACCG THE BLAIR OF G TO CALIGARI CARNIVAL TO LGH AT HIM. AS TURNS OUT, MOST PEOPLE DO THK HE'S JT AS EAKY AS HUGO AND COLETTE.THE BLAIR' OTHER GUARDIANS    UNCLE MONTY DR. MONTGOMERY "MONTY" MONTGOMERY COOL OLD GUY: IMPLIED TO HAVE BEEN AT LEAST SOMEWHAT OLR (HE ONCE CLAIMS THAT HE'S BEEN STUDYG HERPETOLOGY FOR FORTY YEARS) AND ONE OF THE MORE FUN GUARDIANS THE ORPHANS HAVE HAD.

NICE GUY: HAS A VERY PLEASANT ATTU AND THE BLAIR EVEN LL HIM "THE BT GUARDIAN THEY'VE EVER HAD". REPETIVE NAME: DR. MONTGOMERY MONTGOMERY. IT'S FOR THIS REASON HE'D PREFER IF PEOPLE LL HIM "MONTY MONTGOMERY". RIGHT FOR THE WRONG REASONS: FIGURED OUT THAT OLAF WAS UP TO NO GOOD... BUT THOUGHT HE WAS A SPY FOR THE HERPETOLOGIL SOCIETY. WE HARDLY KNEW YE: OLAF KILLS HIM BY THE END OF THE SEND BOOK.    AUNT JOSEPHE JOSEPHE ANWHISTLE ASSHOLE VICTIM: IT'S KD OF HARD TO FEEL SORRY FOR HER AFTER SHE SELLS THE BLAIRE CHILDREN TO COUNT OLAF HOP OF BEG SPARED, EVEN THOUGH THE CHILDREN STILL HOPED THAT SHE WAS OKAY. LEMONY SNICKET HIMSELF HOWEVER, SAID THAT SHE WAS NO DOUBT A BAD GUARDIAN FOR LETTG THE CHILDREN GO. DIRTY COWARD: HER PARANOIA SCENDS TO THIS TROPE AT THE CLIMAX OF THE WI WDOW WHEN SHE SELLS THE BLAIRE CHILDREN TO COUNT OLAF TO SAVE HER SK. DRIVEN TO SUICI: SUBVERTED WH AUNT JOSEPHE. SHE'S FORCED TO WRE A LETTER UNR OLAF'S THREATS AND MAK LOOK LIKE SHE JUMPED OUT OF A WDOW. HOWEVER, SHE JT BROKE THE WDOW AND MA HER PE TO CURDLED CAVE. GRAMMAR NAZI: HER ENTIRE SCHTICK.

HOWEVER, THE MAY BE THE RULT OF REVISNISM ACRDANCE WH V.F.D.'S OWN VIEWS. BUNNY-EARS LAWYER: SOME MEMBERS QUALIFY AS THIS. DARK AND TROUBLED PAST: MOST ADULTS HAVE THIS DUE TO THEIR VOLVEMENT OM AN EARLY AGE WH V.F.D.. THE GHOST: THE SERI HAS A WI BACKSTORY AND SEVERAL CHARACTERS ARE ONLY EVER REFERRED TO. THE MOST NOTABLE EXAMPLE IS PROBABLY R., THE DUCHS OF WNIPEG. GREY-AND-GREY MORALY: INIALLY IMPLIED TO BE AN ANIZATN FIGHTG AGAST PEOPLE LIKE OLAF, 'S LATER SUGGTED THEY AREN'T SO DIFFERENT.

"I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS A SAD OCSN." THEME INIALS: ONCE THE CHILDREN LEARN OF THE IALS, THEY TRY TO FD OUT WHAT THEY ULD POSSIBLY STAND FOR.

ILLEGAL GUARDIAN: PLAYED UTTERLY STRAIGHT AT FIRST BOOK ONE BY CLAIMG HE IS THE "CLOST LIVG RELATIVE" THAT HE IS SUPPOSEDLY A RELATIVE AND LIV THE CLOST TO THEM PHYSILLY. IRONIC HELL: THE BLAIR ARE WONRFULLY BRIGHT AND KD CHILDREN WHO HE EQUENTLY TRI TO MURR EVEN THOUGH THEY HADN'T DONE ANYTHG TO SERVE . LATER, ESMé ADOPTS CARMELA SPATS, WHO IS A MONUMENTAL BRAT THAT ENDLSLY HARANGU AND BULLI OLAF, BUT BEE HIS GIRLIEND IS SO FOND OF HER, HE N DO LTLE BUT GRIMACE AND BEAR THE ABE. JT A STUPID ACCENT: WHILST DISGUISED AS STEPHANO AND GUNTHER. KARMA HOUDI WARRANTY: THROUGHOUT THE SERI, HIS PLANS ARE NSTANTLY THWARTED, BUT HE ALWAYS MANAG TO PE PUNISHMENT AND GO ON TO THREATEN THE BLAIR AGA. HIS STREAK FALLY TO AN END BOOK 13, WHERE HE'S SHOT WH A HARPOON GUN AND SUCCUMBS TO THE WOUND. KARMIC DEATH: THOUGH FAR TOO LATE FOR THE BLAIR' TASTE, THE TOXIC MHROOMS HE PLANNED TO E TO THREATEN HIS ENEMI DIRECTLY LED TO HIS ATH. LARGE HAM: OLAF'S ACTG IS VERY OVER-THE-TOP. IT PROBABLY HELPS THE BLAIR REGNIZE HIM ALL THE TIME. LEAN AND MEAN: SKNY AS A RAIL AND UTTERLY VILE. MANIPULATIVE BASTARD: THOUGH HAVG SAID THAT, DON'T REALLY APPEAR THAT DIFFICULT TO MANIPULATE SOMEONE THE SNICKETVERSE. THE MISTRS: TO THE ALREADY MARRIED ESMé GIGI GENEVIEVE SQUALOR. (SURPRISGLY, THE FACT THAT SHE IS MARRIED IS NEVER LAMPSHAD THE SERI.) MISTER SEAHORSE: SENT UP THE END, WHERE COUNT OLAF TRI TO DISGUISE HIMSELF AS A PREGNANT WOMAN. THE LEMONY NARRATOR STAT THAT "PREGNANCY OCCURS VERY RARELY MAL", NOTG ACTUAL SEAHORS AS AN EXCEPTN. MORALY PET: K SNICKET. THE ONLY GOOD ED HE DO HIS LIFE IS TO RRY HER TO A SAFE PLACE TO GIVE BIRTH. MYSTER PAST: DUNN AND ISADORA QUAGMIRE MENTN NEWSPAPER ARTICL THAT A MAN WH SIAR TRAS AS OLAF HAD STRANGLED A BISHOP AND PED PRISON JT TEN MUT, AND ANOTHER REPORTS OF HIM THROWG A WEALTHY WIDOW OFF A CLIFF. THE BLAIRE CHILDREN AGREE THAT SOUNDS LIKE OLAF AND BELIEVE HIM TO BE THE MAN MENTNED THE ARTICL. NOT ME THIS TIME: …MAYBE? HIS LAST MOMENTS IMPLY THAT NO, HE REALLY DIDN'T KILL MR. AND MRS. BLAIRE, EVEN THOUGH HIS PLANS OM THE BEGNG HAVE REVOLVED AROUND SEIZG THEIR FORTUNE OM THE ORPHANS THEY LEFT BEHD. GOD ONLY KNOWS IF HE WAS TELLG THE TTH — OR IF THAT'S EVEN WHAT HE MEANT. IT'S JT VAGUE ENOUGH THAT WE'LL NEVER BE SURE. JT LIKE EVERYTHG ELSE THIS SERI. OBFTG STUPIDY: THERE ARE SEVERAL STANC WHERE HE SEEMS TO DISPLAY MORE CLEVERNS THAN THE NARRATN AND HIS ANTI-TELLECTUAL ATTU SUGGTS (E.G. BEG ABLE TO REGNIZE A D FFEE STA ON A MAP). IN FACT, WHEN K SNICKET REC SOME POETRY TO HIM, HIS RPONSE IS ALONG THE L OF "YOU THK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO N QUOTE POETRY?" THIS IS PECIALLY NOTABLE BEE WELL-READNS IS SUPPOSEDLY A TRA EXCLIVE TO THE NOBLE SI OF THE SCHISM. OLD MAN MARRYG A CHILD: HE ATTEMPTS THIS WH VLET THE FIRST BOOK AND THE FILM AND TV SERI ADAPTATNS. HE FAILS AND ATTEMPTS TO KILL VLET AND HER SIBLGS. OPPORTUNISTIC BASTARD: SCE 'S IMPLIED HE DIDN'T BURN DOWN THE BLAIRE MANSN, HE CLEARLY SAW AN OPPORTUNY FOR MONEY AND REVENGE AND TOOK . PAPER-TH DISGUISE: HIS DISGUIS ONLY EVER VER UP HIS UNIBROW AND ANKLE TATTOO, WHICH IS WHAT EVERYONE ALWAYS REGNIZ HIM BY. PET THE DOG: JT BEFORE HIS ATH, HE HELPS K SNICKET LIVER HER BABY DGHTER AND THEY SHARE A TENR MOMENT RECG POETRY. VLET EVEN NOT THAT MIGHT EVEN BE THE SOLE SELFLS ACT HIS LIFE. THE POWER OF LOVE: WHAT SNAPS HIM OUT OF HIS DPAIR EVENT HORIZON THE FAL BOOK TO AID K SNICKET ONE LAST TIME. PYROMANIAC: IT'S CLEAR THAT HE HAS AT LEAST BURNED A HOSPAL, A RNIVAL, AND A HOTEL TO GROUND AND 'S SUGGTED THAT HE ALSO BURNED THE BLAIR' MANSN, BUT SNICKET NEVER NFIRMED THE FACT. IN THE FAL BOOK, THE BLAIR NONT OLAF OVER THEIR SPICNS OF HIM BURNG DOWN THEIR MANSN. HIS IAL RPONSE IS "IS THAT WHAT YOU THK?" FOLLOWED BY "YOU KNOW NOTHG." REMPTN EQUALS DEATH: HIS LAST ACTN BEFORE DYG IS RCUG K SNICKET. SMALL NAME, BIG EGO: WHILE A MAJOR ANTAGONISTIC FIGURE THE LIV OF THE BLAIR, HE'S ULTIMATELY REVEALED TO BE A B PLAYER THE WORLDS OF THEATRE, PNAGE, AND VILLAY AS THE STORY PROGRS. SMALL ROLE, BIG IMPACT: HE'S ONE OF THE PRIMARY STIGATORS OF THE VFD SCHISM, BUT AFTERWARDS, HE SPENT THE FOLLOWG S TRYG TO GET RICH THROUGH ILLIC AND LARGELY UNSUCCSFUL MONEYMAKG SCHEM, AND HIDG OUT HIS SHODDY HOME TO WA FOR HIS NEARBY RELATIV TO PASS ON SO HE ULD MAKE A GO AT THEIR FORTUNE.SMUG SNAKE:--> UNCLEANLS IS NEXT TO UNGODLS: OLAF HAS VERY POOR HYGIENE. THE UNREVEAL: DID OLAF BURN DOWN THE BLAIRE MANSN? THE FILM OF THE BOOK AT THE VERY LEAST STRONGLY SUAT HE DID, BUT THE ORIGAL BOOKS AND THE NETFLIX ADAPTATN HAVE HIM NY WHEN ASKED, AND THE LATTER S THE BLAIR HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE. VILLAO CSH: IMPLIED WH VLET THE FIRST BOOK SCE HIS PLANS FOR HER CLUD MARRIAGE AND THE NSUMMATN THEREOF. WANNABE SECRET AGENT: LEMONY SNICKET'S UNTHORIZED AUTOBGRAPHY REVEALS THAT HE WAS AN AGENT OF V.F.D. WHEN HE WAS A CHILD AND FOR ALL THE BEDLAM HE WAS PABLE OF, 'S HEAVILY IMPLIED THAT HE WASN'T A VERY GOOD MEMBER, BOTH TERMS OF MORALY AND PETENCY. WOOBIE, DTROYER OF WORLDS: MAYBE. IT'S IMPLIED THAT BEATRICE AND/OR BERTRAND BLAIRE AND/OR LEMONY SNICKET KILLED HIS PARENTS WH POISON DARTS DURG A PERFORMANCE OF LA FORZA L DTO. WOULD HURT A CHILD: HIS PLAN TO GET THE BLAIRE FORTUNE HAVE CLUD HIM ATTEMPTG TO KILL THE TR. ONE CLUD ATTEMPTED MARRIAGE. YOU ARE WHAT YOU HATE: OLAF, A MAN WHOSE PARENTS WERE KILLED BY POISON DARTS WHILE AT AN OPERA HOE, HAS A LICENSE PLATE WH "IH8ORPHANS" SCRIBED ON . YOU KILLED MY FATHER: THE FILM NFIRMS THAT HE WAS RPONSIBLE FOR THE ATH OFTHE BLAIR' PARENTS AND THE BURNG OF THEIR MANSN, AS KLS FDS THE GIANT MAGNIFYG GLASS RPONSIBLE FOR AND EXPOS BY BURNG THE WEDDG NTRACT. IN THE BOOKS AND THE NETFLIX ADAPTATN THE BLAIR THK HE'S RPONSIBLE, BUT WHEN THEY FALLY DIRECTLY NONT HIM ABOUT JT BEFORE HIS ATH HE NI . YOUNGER THAN THEY LOOK: HTS THROUGHOUT THE LATER BOOKS WOULD SUGGT THAT OLAF WAS V.F.D. TRAG WH K AND LEMONY, MAKG HIM AROUND 39-45, BUT HELQUIST'S ILLTRATNS PICT A MAN THAT LOOKS AROUND 50-60 YEARS OF AGE. ALSO, THE MOVIE'S PICTN. THIS MAY BE JTIFIED DUE TO HIS UNHEALTHY LIFTYLE AND FILTHY HABS GIVG HIM A PREMATURELY AGED APPEARANCE.    THE HOOK-HAND MAN O. LUFONT / HOOKY / FERNALD / THE HOOK-HAND MAN B CRASH: MIGHT HAVE DIED AFTER HIS OFFSCREEN DCHG OF OLAF. DIRTY OLD MAN: IN REGARDS TO VLET. HE NSTANTLY MENTS ON HOW PRETTY SHE IS EVEN WHEN HE HAS HER TRAPPED OLAF'S TOWER "THE BAD BEGNG". EVIL IS PETTY: HIS IA OF HAVG A GOOD DREAM IS SNEEZG WHOUT VERG HIS MOUTH AND GIVG EVERYONE THE LD. GO-TO ALIAS: LUFONT, ED BOOKS 2 AND 8, THE LATTER OF WHICH REVEALS THAT THE ALIAS ALSO CLUS THE FIRST IAL O, TO MAKE A FULL ANAGRAM OF "COUNT OLAF". HEEL–FACE REVOLVG DOOR: IT SEEMS LIKE HIS WHOLE LIFE IS A CHA OF HEEL–FACE TURN FOLLOWED BY FACE–HEEL TURN; THE ELEVENTH BOOK, HE MANAG TO DO BOTH THE SPACE OF THREE CHAPTERS. HEEL–FACE TURN: DCH OLAF WHEN HE RN WH HIS FAY. HEEL REALIZATN: WHEN FNA NONTS HIM OVER LOSG HIS HANDS, SETTG FIR AS THE DAILY PUNCTIL REPORTS AND LEARNG HE IS ONE OF OLAF'S HENCHMEN. HE DON'T NY HAVG SET THE FIR AND HAS THE GALL TO BLAME A ATHLY-ILL SUNNY FOR GETTG HIM TO SO MUCH TROUBLE, BUT HE ADMS THAT JOG OLAF'S BAND WAS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR. SO MUCH THAT THEY PE TOGETHER AN OFFSCREEN MOMENT OF AWOME OM OLAF AFTER FNA BE A FAKE DEFECTOR. HOOK HAND: BOTH OF HIS HANDS. BOTH THE BOOK AND THE FILM PICT THEM AS STANDARD PIRATE HOOKS WHILST THE NETFLIX VERSN HAS THEM AS MORE REALISTIC PROSTHETICS. MORALY CHA: HIS YOUNGER SISTER FNA. WHEN SHE PLEADS WH HIM TO HELP HER AND THE BLAIR, HE AGRE, ON THE NDN THAT HE N GO WH THEM. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, WHEN THAT PLAN FAILS, FNA BE A FAKE DEFECTOR, AND THEY BOTH PE OM OLAF AN OFFSCREEN MOMENT OF AWOME. MYSTER PAST: IT'S NOT KNOWN EXACTLY HOW HE LOST HIS HANDS, OTHER THAN THE POSSIBILY THAT ARSON WAS VOLVED. HOW HIS BURNG OF ANWHISTLE AQUATICS WENT DOWN IS LIKEWISE UNCERTA. HE SAYS THAT THE DAILY PUNCTILL'S ACUNTG OF EVENTS IS ACCURATE AND THE NARRATN IMPLI THAT HIS STEPFATHER AND/OR LEMONY MIGHT HAVE PLAYED A ROLE, BUT THAT'S ABOUT . NO FULL NAME GIVEN: WHILE THE GRIM GROTTO REVEALS HIS FIRST NAME, AN ARTICLE THE DAILY PUNCTIL ERRONEOLY GIV HIS NAME AS "FERNALD WIDRSHS". HE SISTS THAT 'WIDRSHS' ISN'T ACTUALLY HIS LAST NAME, BUT WHAT IS ISN'T REVEALED. SCREW THIS, I'M OUTTA HERE: IN THE 12TH BOOK, DCH OLAF WH HIS SISTER OFF-PAGE. STEALTH MENTOR: IN THE ERSATZ ELEVATOR, HE DRAWS ATTENTN TO THE FACT THAT OLAF NEVER LEFT THE BUILDG, THEN SUBTLY TIPS THE BLAIR OFF THAT THEY SHOULD LOOK AT THE ELEVATOR MORE CLOSELY. ONCE WE LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM, THIS STARTS TO MAKE MORE SENSE. THIS MAY BE THE SE AS FAR BACK AS THE FIRST BOOK. THOUGH HE LIVERS AS A THREAT, HE GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO WARN THE BLAIR THAT OLAF WILL KILL THEM IF HE SUCCEEDS GETTG THEIR FORTUNE. YOUNGER THAN THEY LOOK: THOUGH HIS AGE ISN'T STATED, HE'S APPARENTLY YOUNG ENOUGH TO HAVE A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SISTER, THOUGH 'S IMPLIED THAT THERE'S A SIGNIFINT GAP, HE'S LIKELY BETWEEN 25-30.    THE BALD MAN WH A LONG NOSE FLACUTONO / THE BALD MAN WH A LONG NOSE ADAPTATN NAME CHANGE: MERELY "BALD MAN" BOTH ADAPTATNS, AS NEHER OF THE ACTORS TO PLAY HIM HAS A LONG NOSE. BALD OF EVIL: BALD AND ONE OF THE BIG BAD'S MNSS. CHARACTER DEATH: EATEN BY LNS. DIRTY OLD MAN: IN REGARDS TO VLET. SHE EVEN NSIRS HIM THE SRIT OF OLAF'S MNS, PARTIALLY DUE TO THIS. GO-TO ALIAS: FLACUTONO, ED BOOKS 4 AND 8. KICK THE DOG: THOUGH TRIPPG KLS AND BREAKG HIS GLASS THE 4TH BOOK WAS PART OF THE PLAN, HE DIDN'T NEED TO ENJOY SO MUCH. IT'S ALSO SEEN HIS DISGUISE AS FOREMAN FLACUTONO THE SAME BOOK, WHERE HE TREATS THE L WORKERS VERY LY AND POORLY. SISTER SCHNOZ: ONE OF HIS FG TRAS.    THE TWO WHE-FACED WOMEN TOCUNA AND FLO / THE TWO WHE-FACED WOMEN EVEN EVIL HAS STANDARDS: THE REASON FOR THEIR HEEL–FACE TURN IS THEIR GROWG SYMPATHY TOWARDS A PTIVE SUNNY (WHO MIGHT HAVE REMD THEM OF THEIR LATE SISTER) AND THEIR SPICN THAT OLAF WAS RPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SIBLG'S ATH. THEY'RE ALSO THE ON TO POT OUT TO THE RT OF THE GROUP THAT HAVG A PTIVE FANT HANDLE ALL THE OKG AND THEN PUNISHG SAID FANT FOR NOT MAKG A GOURMET MEAL MIGHT BE A LTLE UNREASONABLE. GO-TO ALIAS: THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE ALIAS THEIR LUNCHLADY DISGUIS, BOOK 8 IMPLI THEY UALLY GO BY "TOCUNA" AND "FLO", WHICH TOGETHER FORM ANOTHER "COUNT OLAF" ANAGRAM. HEEL–FACE TURN: IN BOOK 10, THEY GET TIRED OF HEARG ABOUT ALL THE TERRIBLE THGS OLAF HAS DONE, AS REMDS THEM OF THEIR SPICN THAT OLAF SET THE FIRE THAT KILLED THEIR SISTER. NAMED BY THE ADAPTATN: JANE AND JEN THE FILM AND VIO GAME. A SE OF THE DANZA WH THEM BEG PLAYED BY JANE ADAMS AND JENNIFER COOLIDGE. SCREW THIS, I'M OUTTA HERE: IN BOOK 10, THEY WALK AWAY OM OLAF'S MP AND ARE NEVER SEEN AGA.    THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE NEHER A MAN NOR A WOMAN THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE NEHER A MAN NOR A WOMAN ADAPTATNAL ATTRACTIVENS: DCRIBED AS VERY FAT THE BOOKS, BUT NOT FAT THE MOVIE OR TV SERI. ADAPTATN NAME CHANGE: BOTH ADAPTATNS REFER TO THEM AS "PERSON OF INTERMATE GENR". AMBIGUO GENR: HENCE THE NAME. CHARACTER DEATH: DIED THE FIRE THAT STROYED HEIMLICH HOSPAL. THE DREAD: JUDGG BY VLET AND KLS'S REACTNS TO FDG THEM THE SAILBOAT RENTAL SHACK. FAT BASTARD: IMMENSELY FAT AND MONSTROLY EVIL THE BOOKS. AVERTED THE FILM AND THE NETFLIX VERSNS, WHERE THEY ARE PORTRAYED AS MORE AVERAGE SIZE. GENR FLIP: OF A SORT. THOUGH ORIGALLY SCRIBED AS A PERSON WHOSE GENR IS TERMATE, BOTH ADAPTATNS PICT THEM AS A MAN WH A SLIGHTLY FEME FASHN SENSE. NO-SELL: SUNNY'S TEETH WHICH ARE SHARP ENOUGH TO CUT WOOD, BE OFF PROSTHETIC HANDS, FIGHT EVENLY WH A SWORD, AND CUT TO STONE/NCRETE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON THEM! STOUT STRENGTH: IS ABLE TO LIFT ALL THREE ORPHANS WH NO PROBLEM. THE VOICELS: IT'S IMPLIED THAT THEY N SPEAK AT LEAST TO OLAF, AS THEY APPARENTLY RM OLAF THAT THE ORPHANS STOLE ONE OF HIS SAILBOATS. EHER WAY, THEY NEVER SPEAK ANYTHG OTHER THAN HUMAN GROANS, FURTHER OBFTG THEIR GENR.    THE WART-FACED MAN THE WART-FACED MAN CHUCK CUNNGHAM SYNDROME: HE APPEARS WH THE RT OF THE TROUPE THE FIRST BOOK AND P WH THEM, BUT NEVER APPEARS AGA. HYPER-COMPETENT SIKICK: IS THE ONE WHO TURNS OFF THE LIGHTS SO COUNT OLAF AND HIS HENCHMEN N PE. INFORMED ATTRIBUTE: HE IS NOTED AS BEG "IMPORTANT LOOKG", BUT WHAT EXACTLY MAK HIM IMPORTANT IS NOT CLEAR. THOUGH THE BIG FISH VIO GAME PICTED HIM A SU AND TIE. RIDDLE FOR THE AG: SERLY, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THIS GUY? A SONG RERD FOR THE TRAGIC TREASURY, "SCREAM AND RUN AWAY", MENTNS "ONE LONG-NOSED BALD MAN WH WARTS", DITG THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN RETROACTIVELY BED WH THE BALD MAN.    THE CARNIVAL FREAKS THE CARNIVAL FREAKS ARSON, MURR, AND JAYWALKG: HUGO THE HUNCHBACK, COLETTE THE NTORTNIST, AND KEV... WHO IS AMBIXTRO. CONTORTNIST: COLETTE WORKS AS ONE THE CARNIVORO CARNIVAL. NICE, MEAN, AND IN-BETWEEN: HUGO (NICE) IS POLE AND DO MOST OF CHOR THE RAVAN. KEV (MEAN) IS WAS THE LEAST POLE TO BLAIR OM THE START, BELTL OTHER'S PROBLEMS (MOST NOTABLY THE HOOK-HAND MAN'S PROBLEMS)AND IS THE MOST WILLG TO JO OLAF. COLETTE (-BETWEEN) IS POLE AND PASSNATE BUT DO LS THAN HUGO. I JT WANT TO BE NORMAL: THE REASON THEY JO OLAF. SUBVERTED BY THE FACT THAT MOST PEOPLE DO ED THK THEY'RE DISGTG EAKS. PROPERLY PARANOID: KEV IS NVCED THAT EVERYONE IS WHISPERG ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME, JT BEE HE'S AMBIXTRO. THERE IS NO REASON FOR PEOPLE TO THK THERE'S ANYTHG DIFFERENT ABOUT HIM AT FIRST GLANCE, BUT HE APPEARS TO THK THERE IS, EVEN ACCG THE BLAIR OF G TO CALIGARI CARNIVAL TO LGH AT HIM. AS TURNS OUT, MOST PEOPLE DO THK HE'S JT AS EAKY AS HUGO AND COLETTE.THE BLAIR' OTHER GUARDIANS    UNCLE MONTY DR. MONTGOMERY "MONTY" MONTGOMERY COOL OLD GUY: IMPLIED TO HAVE BEEN AT LEAST SOMEWHAT OLR (HE ONCE CLAIMS THAT HE'S BEEN STUDYG HERPETOLOGY FOR FORTY YEARS) AND ONE OF THE MORE FUN GUARDIANS THE ORPHANS HAVE HAD. GOOD PARENTS: OUT OF ALL THE ELS ADULTS THE SERI, MONTY STANDS OUT AS THE BT RETAKER THE BLAIR EVER HAD. IT DON'T LAST. NICE GUY: HAS A VERY PLEASANT ATTU AND THE BLAIR EVEN LL HIM "THE BT GUARDIAN THEY'VE EVER HAD". REPETIVE NAME: DR. MONTGOMERY MONTGOMERY. IT'S FOR THIS REASON HE'D PREFER IF PEOPLE LL HIM "MONTY MONTGOMERY". RIGHT FOR THE WRONG REASONS: FIGURED OUT THAT OLAF WAS UP TO NO GOOD... BUT THOUGHT HE WAS A SPY FOR THE HERPETOLOGIL SOCIETY. WE HARDLY KNEW YE: OLAF KILLS HIM BY THE END OF THE SEND BOOK.    AUNT JOSEPHE JOSEPHE ANWHISTLE ASSHOLE VICTIM: IT'S KD OF HARD TO FEEL SORRY FOR HER AFTER SHE SELLS THE BLAIRE CHILDREN TO COUNT OLAF HOP OF BEG SPARED, EVEN THOUGH THE CHILDREN STILL HOPED THAT SHE WAS OKAY. LEMONY SNICKET HIMSELF HOWEVER, SAID THAT SHE WAS NO DOUBT A BAD GUARDIAN FOR LETTG THE CHILDREN GO. DIRTY COWARD: HER PARANOIA SCENDS TO THIS TROPE AT THE CLIMAX OF THE WI WDOW WHEN SHE SELLS THE BLAIRE CHILDREN TO COUNT OLAF TO SAVE HER SK. DRIVEN TO SUICI: SUBVERTED WH AUNT JOSEPHE. SHE'S FORCED TO WRE A LETTER UNR OLAF'S THREATS AND MAK LOOK LIKE SHE JUMPED OUT OF A WDOW. HOWEVER, SHE JT BROKE THE WDOW AND MA HER PE TO CURDLED CAVE. GRAMMAR NAZI: HER ENTIRE SCHTICK.

EXCEPT V, SEEMS; THE ORPHANS ARE ABLE TO AX HER OUT OF A VE BY PLAYG ON HER FEAR OF REALTORS, OF ALL THGS.    SIR AND CHARL SIR AND CHARL AMBIGUOLY GAY: SCE THEIR "PARTNERSHIP" CLEARLY ISN'T A BS ONE, 'S IMPLIED THEY'RE A UPLE. SNICKET GO A B FARTHER THAN IMPLYG THE TV SERI. CHARL IS SCRIBED AS SIR'S PARTNER WHEN FIRST TRODUCED, AND WHILE THE CHILDREN THK HE MEANS BS PARTNER, HE IS NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN DOG ANYTHG FOR THE BS. SIR EXPLAS THEY SPL 50/50, YET HE DO NOT GET A SAY BS CISNS. HIS ROLE IS A DOMTIC ONE, SIAR TO A HOEWIFE. HE OKS AND CLEANS FOR HIM, AND SIR BUILDS HIM A LIBRARY. IT IS IMPLIED HE'S ACTUALLY HIS ROMANTIC PARTNER AND THE CHILDREN PURELY MIXED UP THE TERMS DOMTIC PARTNER AND BS PARTNER. LATER ON, WHEN THEY BOTH APPEAR AGA THE PENULTIMATE PERIL, THEIR RELATNSHIP IS EVEN MORE DIRECTLY QUEER. THEY ARE SEEN SHARG A HOTEL ROOM MATCHG PYJAMAS AND BATH ROB. THEY ARE ALSO SEEN TOGETHER A SNA WHERE SIR MAK AN ALMOST SEXUAL NUENDO TOWARDS HIM, SAYG THAT HE "LIK THE SMELL OF HOT WOOD." BOTH OF THEM A SNA TOGETHER ULD BE A REFERENCE TO THE NNECTNS SNAS AND GAY CULTURE HAD AT THE TIME, WH GAY BATHHO BEG ED AS A SAFE SPACE TO ENGAGE WH EACH OTHER ROMANTILLY. WHEN THEY ARE LAST SEEN TOGETHER, BEFORE THEIR IMPLIED ATH THEY ARE SEEN HOLDG EACH OTHERS HANDS TO STAY TOGETHER.

HOWEVER, THE MAY BE THE RULT OF REVISNISM ACRDANCE WH V.F.D.'S OWN VIEWS. BUNNY-EARS LAWYER: SOME MEMBERS QUALIFY AS THIS. DARK AND TROUBLED PAST: MOST ADULTS HAVE THIS DUE TO THEIR VOLVEMENT OM AN EARLY AGE WH V.F.D.. THE GHOST: THE SERI HAS A WI BACKSTORY AND SEVERAL CHARACTERS ARE ONLY EVER REFERRED TO. THE MOST NOTABLE EXAMPLE IS PROBABLY R., THE DUCHS OF WNIPEG. GREY-AND-GREY MORALY: INIALLY IMPLIED TO BE AN ANIZATN FIGHTG AGAST PEOPLE LIKE OLAF, 'S LATER SUGGTED THEY AREN'T SO DIFFERENT.
