Man with clipboard

"Act Three of The Marvellous Marriage by Al Funcoot is about to begin! Everyone, please, get in your places for Act Three!"

- The man with a clipboard to the rest of the troupe.

The man with a clipboard was an associate of the villainous Count Olaf and a member of the Count's original theater troupe. During Olaf and his troupe's performance of The Marvellous Marriage, which was actually a scheme of Olaf's in which he would actually marry Violet Baudelaire and gain the Baudelaire fortune, the man holding a clipboard oversaw the event backstage. After Olaf's plan was thwarted and exposed to the audience by the Baudelaires, another of Olaf's associates turned off the lights, allowing the troupe, including the man holding a clipboard, to escape. His fate afterwards is unknown.

Behind the scenes
The man holding a clipboard 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, nor in the Netflix TV series adaptation.

Strangely, he, along with the short-haired woman and the wart-faced man, was one of the only troupe members never to appear after The Bad Beginning.
