Arthur Poe is a Financial banker who was promoted to the position of Vice President in Charge of Orphan Affairs at Mulctuary Money Management before the series begins. This fact is confirmed by Count Olaf near the end of The End. He is usually blatantly ignorant of Count Olaf's disguises, and he has never listened to the Baudelaire orphans nor believed them when they were allowed to speak their minds. It is also revealed by Count Olaf that Mr. Poe had a stage name, although is it not revealed what the name was. His name is known to derive from Edgar Allen Poe (He having a son named Edgar). The author named a of his characters after famous poets and such.

Arthur Poe has two children: Edgar and Albert, and a wife, Polly. His sister, Eleanora Poe, is believed to be a V.F.D. member, as well as the Editor-in-Chief for the The Daily Punctilio. His sister is the one who assigned Lemony Snicket to be the dramatic critic for the very same newspaper.
