Gallo

"Custody granted."

- Gallo

Gallo, the Judge, was a Judge on the High Court. It was Judge Gallo who granted custody of the Baudelaire orphans to Count Olaf, and he later also declared Olaf to be guilty following his attempt to marry the eldest orphan in a botched attempt to gain their fortune. His further fate is unknown.

Behind the scenes
Gallo was portrayed by Fred Gallo. He was credited as "Judge", though his name could clearly be seen on a plaque on his desk. His name was a nod to the surname of his portrayer, but may have also been a reference to the gallows due to the series' dark nature.

Gallo made no appearance in any of the books.
