Intro This is the first book/episode, the Bad Beginning. Mr. Poe: Arthur Poe is a banker at Mulctuary Money Management in charge of the Baudelaire and Quagmire fortunes and the Baudelaire orphans' guardianship. He is distinguished by a congenital cough, purblind demeanour, and general inefficacy in caring for the Baudelaire and Quagmire children. Klaus: Klaus Baudelaire is the middle child of the Baudelaire siblings. He is a gifted reader and had read most of the books in the Baudelaire library before it burned down. His love of reading and research skills are often useful for foiling Count Olaf's. Count Olaf: Olaf is a failing actor (though he claimed to have been considered for major acting awards) and is after the Baudelaire fortune. He and his acting troupe follow the children with dogged determination to obtain their inheritance and kill them. He is known for his one eyebrow, gleaming eyes, and V.F.D. Justice Strauss: Justice Strauss is a kind and well-intentioned woman. She is often seen inviting the Baudelaires to spend time with her, allows them to borrow and read books from her library, and desired to adopt them. Violet: Violet Baudelaire is depicted as being extremely skilled at inventing devices. She often invents devices to help herself and her siblings in dangerous situations, using only simple objects such as rubber bands and tin cans. Whenever Violet invents something, she ties her hair up with her ribbon to keep it out of her eyes, she is the eldest of the Baudelaires. Sunny: At the start of the series, Sunny Baudelaire had four abnormally large, sharp teeth and enjoys biting things with them, an interest that stuck with her even after the rest of her teeth began to come in. She eventually acquires a penchant and talent for cooking, and both skills save the lives of the Baudelaires at various times, she is the youngest of the Baudelaires.
