The children's novel series A Series of Unfortunate Events features a large cast of characters created by Lemony Snicket. The series follows the turbulent lives of the Baudelaire orphans after their parents, Bertrand and Beatrice, are killed in an arsonous structure fire.

The author of the series is Lemony Snicket (the nom de plume of Daniel Handler), who plays a major role in the plot himself. Although the series is given no distinct location, other real persons appear in the narrative as well, including the series' illustrator, Brett Helquist, and Daniel Handler himself.

The following is a list of supporting characters who are not considered among the major characters (Count Olaf, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, Lemony Snicket, Arthur Poe, Esmé Squalor, and Beatrice Baudelaire) and are not part of the Baudelaire family.

One of Olaf's henchmen, he is described as a bald man with a hooked nose who always wears a black robe. He disguises himself as Foreman Flacutono in The Miserable Mill and as a doctor in The Hostile Hospital, using a surgical mask to cover his face both times. He is devoured by a lion in The Carnivorous Carnival.

Fernald, commonly known as the Hook-handed Man, is an assistant of Count Olaf. First appearing in The Bad Beginning as part of his theatre troupe, he was the one who catches Violet when she climbs up the side of Count Olaf's tower in an attempt to rescue Sunny and informs Count Olaf about it. When Count Olaf's true nature is exposed, the Hook-Handed Man is among the members of Count Olaf's theater troupe that escape in the blackout. The Hook-Handed Man reappears disguised as a doctor in The Reptile Room and a doorman in The Ersatz Elevator. He appears in The Hostile Hospital, assisting Olaf's surgical attempt to murder Violet; he is seen traveling around as part of Olaf's troupe following this. In The Grim Grotto, Fiona meets him and it is revealed that they are siblings: Captain Widdershins is his stepfather. He joined Olaf and left Captain Widdershins after burning down Anwhistle Aquatics . He also joined Count Olaf because Captain Widdershins always said "Aye!" which annoyed him. Fiona convinces him to steal Olaf's submarine; their fate is unknown, as Kit Snicket reports in The End that she abandoned them in the face of the 'Great Unknown'. It is also revealed that when he had to wait, he played a card game he made up named Fernald's Folly.
