-> '''Played by:''' Tony Hale

* DisappointedInYou: She clearly feels this way with the Baudelaires upon discovering all of the treacherous deeds they themselves have done, and is less than sympathetic towards them when she reveals that the also will be considered for guilt during the verdict.

* BiTheWay: After his marriage to Esme falls apart, he winds up with Charles. They met at a support group to recover from their previous partners.

-->''"Esme, love of my life, I'm tired of being treated this way."''
* HenpeckedHusband: Needless to say, Esme's love for Jerome is anything but genuine. She ''does'' have the hots for Count Olaf, after all.

Count Olaf's kindly next-door neighbor, she takes an instant like to the kids despite Olaf's attempts to poison her against them.

* LawfulStupid: She has blind trust in the law and the authorities, which puts her at odds with the Baudelaires. She even refuses to flee from the scene of a crime even though the building is burning down.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She constantly laments her lack of romantic success, despite being a world-renowned judge.

Duncan and Isadora Quagmire, two of the Quagmire Triplets, the only members of the family to survive a fire that killed their parents and their sibling, Quigley. They lived through similar adventures of those the Baudelair's went through and quickly befriend them.

* NiceGuy: Nice guys and a nice girl. All three of them are nothing but kind and supportive to the Baudelaires, actively helping them against Count Olaf.

* TheUnreveal: Duncan and Isadora find the book and try to warn Klaus and Violet about the VFD, sadly, they are far away and do not manage to pass the information. While they are reading, the viewer is also not shown what exactly they are finding out.

* [[NiceGuy NiceGuy/NiceGirl]] All three of them are nothing but kind and supportive to the Baudelaires, actively helping them against Count Olaf.

* DisappointedInYou: She clearly feels this way with the Baudelaires upon discovering all of the treacherous deeds they themselves have done, and is less than sympathetic towards them when she reveals that the also will be considered for guilt during the verdict. She still loved them as her own children and wanted to adopt them though.

* PutOnABus: At the end of "The Vile Village", Klaus and Violet decide to run away by land, once they realize that they wouldn't be able to board the self-sustaining house with them, leading Hector to take the Quagmire triplets with him in his escape.

'''Poe:''' Ah-ha! Wait, that's ridiculous.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Shown when he first hears the Screeching Iguana Clock.

* AnArmAndALeg: In the book his leg was only crushed, while in the series it's crushed off. He does get it reattached by the episode's end. He later loses it to a shark.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: His reaction to getting his leg crushed off? "Oh boy! Half-off pedicures!"

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the book, he gleefully expels the Baudelaires even after they pass the exams (because they skipped gym class), and doesn't really care about Olaf kidnapping the Quagmires, to the point that he won't let Mr. Poe use his phone to call the police. He's still nasty here, but is somewhat more rational, grudgingly admitting that they passed.

* CoolOldGuy: Downplayed, he is nicer than most characters so far, treating the Baudelaires as dear friends, but he is an ObstructiveBureaucrat who doesn't want to let the children look for the files they need.

* DisappointedInYou: She clearly feels this way with the Baudelaires upon discovering all of the treacherous deeds they themselves have done, and is less than sympathetic towards them when she reveals that the also will be considered for guilt during the verdict.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Like many other characters, it's unknown whether he survives the fire at Hotel Denouement.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the book, he gleefully expels the Baudelaires even after they pass the exams (because they skipped gym class), and doesn't really care about Olaf kidnapping the Quagmires, to the point that he won't let Mr. Poe use his phone to call the police. He's still nasty here, but is somewhat more rational, grudgingly admitting that they passed, and there are a few points where he seems a little suspicious of Olaf's gym teacher disguise.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Like many other characters, it's unknown whether he survives the fire at Hotel Denouement.]]

* NiceGuy: Very much so. He treats the children with respect and care, even offering to take them with him on his self-sustaining floating house.

* CoolOldGuy: Downplayed, he is nicer than most characters so far, but he is an ObstructiveBureaucrat who doesn't want to let the children look for the files they need.

%%* DisappointedInYou: She clearly feels this way with the Baudelaires upon discovering all of the treacherous deeds they themselves have done, and is less than sympathetic towards them when she reveals that the also will be considered for guilt during the verdict.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the novels and film, Mr. Poe generally cares about the Baudelaire children, even when the children were accused of murder in the former and even wanted to do everything he could to prove their innocence. Here, he seems to be more interested in his job than about the Baudelaire children and even believes that the children are murderers when they're framed.

* ItsAllAboutMe: While he does care about the safety of the Baudelaires and is sympathetic to their struggles, he's way too focused on furthering his own career to put in more effort. After the orphans run away to the lumbermill, he's more outraged about the effect on his reputation at the bank than anything else.

* TookALevelInJerkass: ''In a sense''. Around the events of ''The Vile Village'', Poe flat out believes the children murdered Count Olaf (actually Jacques Snicket) ''despite the fact Count Olaf is a villainous person''. He continues to basically act like they're evil or criminals despite the obviousness. He's also more than happy to see a freak get devoured by lions at the end of ''The Carnivorous Carnival'', although he quickly regrets his enthusiasm when he actually sees it happen.

* GiftedlyBad: For someone who is editor-in-chief of a newspaper, she's very bad at her job, as she can't even spell "promotion" right and gets the Baudelaires' names wrong. She does manage to track down the Baudelaires' using her reporting skills, but it's only because she happened to be covering the accident at Lucky Smells Lumbermill. [[spoiler: Not surprisingly this eventually catches up to her when the final epsiode revealed [[RealityEnsues she was jailed for false reporting and the Punctilio is to be discontinued]].]]

* AdaptedOut: [[spoiler:At the Hotel Denoument, he and Charles are replaced by Jerome and Babs.]]
