<P> Edgar and Albert are Mr. Poe's two sons . They are only seen in The Bad Beginning when the Baudelaires stay with Mr. Poe following their parents' death . The two brothers are unwelcoming to the Baudelaire orphans . Their names are apparent allusions to Edgar Allan Poe, though they may also be derived from Edgar Albert Guest (who is mentioned in The Grim Grotto). </P> <P> In the TV series, Edgar and Albert are played by Kaniel Jacob - Cross and Jack Forrester, respectively . Their unwelcoming attitude goes so far to the point that they both think the Baudelaires caused the fire themselves . Lemony Snicket reveals that later in life one became a banker like their father while the other lives in a cave, but that both think that "the other has it better ." </P> <P> Eleanora Poe is the sister of Mr. Arthur Poe, who is in charge of the Baudelaire orphans' affairs . Eleanora is the editor - in - chief of The Daily Punctilio . She is first mentioned as "a tiresome woman named Eleanora" who was in an elevator at the Hotel Preludio with the Baudelaire family one day when Bertrand played a prank that forced her to stop at every floor on the way to her hotel room . </P> <P> It is implied that Eleanora and Arthur are not part of the V.F.D. organization because at The Anxious Clown, Larry the Waiter uses a code for V.F.D. members, and neither Eleanora nor Arthur seem to understand it or decide to ignore it . </P>
