The Guilty Parties
 

Count Olaf

Charming, witty, handsome and debonaire, a man for all seasons [and crimes, Ed.]. Count Olaf previously ran a hugely successful Theatre Troupe but has recently dedicated his considerable intelligence to taking control of the Baudelaire Fortune. He is a master of disguise and a talented actor, capable of baffling even the stupidest adult. Count Olaf is widely travelled [largely at running pace and away from the Baudelaire Orphans, Ed.] and has tried his hand at a number of careers (research assistant, sailor, etc).

The Editor

Given that the Editor is over thirty and always goes to the 8 to 12 yrs section of the bookshop first you may understand why she prefers not to say too much :-)
