Sir
From ''The Lemony Snicket Wiki''
Sir is the fourth guardian of the Baudelaire orphans.[1]
[edit] Description
Sir is the owner of the Lucky Smells Lumbermill, located in Paltryville, and first appeared in Book the Fourth: The Miserable Mill. Sir's real name is never mentioned, though several attempts are made, as according to Sir, no one can ever say it correctly. When the children ask what his name is he says to just call him Sir.
Equally obscure is Sir's appearance. Sir's entire head is hidden by a thick layer of smoke from his ever-burning cigar. He shows little or no concern for either the Baudelaire orphans or his employees, whom he pays in coupons and provides an unsatisfying meal of chewing gum.
Sir may or may not have perished in the fire at the Hotel Denouement at the end of the Penultimate Peril, where he was residing with Charles on vacation.
In the end of The Miserable Mill, he fires the Baudelaires, and sends them to Prufrock Preparatory (boarding school), claiming that they were too much trouble. He later appeared in book the twelfth: The Penultimate Peril. On the cover of said book, a man can be seen with smoke in front of his face. It is speculated that this is possibly Sir. It is thought that he is on the fire-starting side of the schism.
