 Count Olaf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Count Olaf is the main villain from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events series.
In "The End", Olaf was rejected (due to his obviously unkind behavior) by Friday, one of the inhabitants of a remote island where he was marooned with the Baudelaire orphans after a vicious storm.
After a pregnant Kit Snicket was also stranded in another storm, Olaf attempts to disguise himself as her, using a round diving helmet filled with Medusoid Mycelium (a poisonous fungus whose spores cause death within the hour of exposure) to make his stomach bulge as though he were pregnant.
