is one of the minor characters first appearing in the eight book ''
The Hostile Hospital '' of the
Children's Book Series , ''
A Series Of Unfortunate Events '' by
Lemony Snicket . Working at the Library of Records of the hospital, he is described as one of the oldest men the three orphaned children (
Violet ,
Klaus and
Sunny Baudelaire ) have ever met, "with the tiniest pair of glasses they have ever seen." He is the eighth guardian of the orphans and the first unofficial guardian.
In ''
The Penultimate Peril '', he reappears as the owner of the Indian Restaurant at
Hotel Denouement . In this novel, he is partially a
V.F.Der , because he says, "I never realized this was a sad occasion" (a V.F.D. sentence) to
Mr. Remora (
Mr. Remora doesn't know what he was talking about). Although he owns the restaurant, he is a terrible cook. Instead of behaving like he does in ''The Hostile Hospital'', he forgives the
Baudelaire s and changes his mind about believing
Geraldine Julienne 's stories in ''
The Daily Punctilio ''.
