Wart-faced man

Thia man was an associate of the villainous Count Olaf and a member of the Count's original theater troupe. He was apparently tall and important-looking, with lots of warts covering his face. During Olaf and his troupe's performance of The Marvelous Marriage, which was actually a scheme of Olaf's in which he would actually marry Violet Baudelaire and gain her family's fortune, the man oversaw the event backstage. After Olaf's plan was thwarted and exposed to the audience by the Baudelaires, the man turned off the lights, allowing the troupe to escape. His further fate is unknown.

Behind the scenes
The unknown associate made his first and only appearance in The Bad Beginning, the first book in A Series of Unfortunate Events. He didn't appear in the 2004 Brad Silberling movie adaptation of The Bad Beginning, as Olaf and his troupe didn't escape in the film. In the Netflix TV series adaptation, he was replaced by the bald man.

Strangely, he was among the only troupe members never to appear after The Bad Beginning.
