Count Olaf

Count Olaf- The Vile Villain of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

What can you say about Count Olaf?
He's an awful and arrogant actor, vile villain, greedy guardian, and extremely poor housekeeper, to say the least.

He's got one serious monobrow, a fetching eye tattoo on his hairy ankle, and is starting to lose his hair...especially sad for an actor, don't you think? Maybe that's why he's so angry.

He also wants to get his hands on the Baudelaire fortune...even if it means committing murder. Several times.

Count Olaf shows up in each of the Series of Unfortunate Events as a new character, although his disguises don't fool the Baudelaire orphans for long. Unfortunately, the children can't get anyone to believe them when they recognize Olaf.
