does any one else think that the bald guy looks like olaf?

[Dante]

He does, somewhat.

Maybe the bald man is actually relatively young, and he is the only son!

Or, more likely:

Not!

[UNKNOWN]

maybe but remember the unauthorized aotubyograhy it says a counts son so it may be him

[Antenora]

I sort of doubt the validity of the Count's son thing, myself, although it's remotely possible that Olaf is in fact the son. Would a Count's son become a Count?

And the bald man does look faintly like Olaf, but I don't think it's terribly significant.

[Ennui]

No. The bald man is nothing but a high-ranking henchman, probably from a VFD background, but nothing more. And yes, a Viscount becomes a Count on the death of his father. (In Britain we call Counts Earls, but still say Countess and Viscount.)

A count and his son.

She's called Esmé Squalor.

NOTE: I am not suggesting that Esmé is the mother of any hypothetical "only son."

Yes, she does. But you doubted that Olaf could ever have a girlfriend, yet he already does, so it's entirely possible.

[bobette]

Maybe it's his brother.

For some reason, I hadn't considered that, and can think of no evidence against it - with the possible exception of M. and N. on the family tree, but those against the family tree being a family tree need pay that no heed, and the sinister duo might not be M. and N. anyway.

I dunno, I think Olaf doesn't care about him enough for him to be the brother. I mean, he always adresses Olaf as "boss" and.... I dunno. Olaf doesn't seem to care when he gets eaten by lions. I believe he is just an associate, nothing more.

I'm with PJ. Albeit an important one, probably similar to Fernald in stature before his downfall.

Not quite as high, though. I think the order was:
-Esmé
-Fernald
-Bald dude
-Androgyne
-White powdered ladies
