Frank, Ernest, and Dewey are the triplet managers running Hotel Denouement. They are identical in appearance: "tall and skinny, with arms and legs sticking out at odd angles, as if [they] were made of drinking straws instead of flesh and bone. But the three could not have more different personalities. Frank is a friend of the V.F.D. and is therefore very trustworthy. Ernest is and enemy of the V.F.D. and is therefore unsavory, and he often tries to trick the Baudelaires into thinking he's Frank so they'll trust him. Dewey is painfully shy and spends his days hiding in the shadows. Before the Baudelaires accidentally kill Dewey with Carmelita's harpoon gun, it is revealed that Dewey is the father of Kit Snicket's unborn child.
