Interests and skills

Klaus is an avid reader with an eidetic memory. His favorite book is The Complete History of Absolutely Everything, Volume 127 - Cauldron to Caution. He remembers everything he reads, retaining information which often helps the Baudelaires to escape from dangerous situations. Also as a result of this, he speaks many languages. Klaus always seems to know the definition of words that leave others baffled, though there are certain words that even he does not know the meaning of, like loco parentis, when mentioned in The Bad Beginning by Mr. Poe, and xenophobe when mentioned in the The Ersatz Elevator by Jerome Squalor. Prior to the demise of his parents, Klaus liked to visit the Akhmatova Bookstore, where his father used to take him as a special treat, to buy an atlas or a volume of the encyclopedia, and revisited it with Jerome Squalor in The Ersatz Elevator. While Violet is the inventor, Sunny is the biter (and later chef), Klaus is the researcher. The theme of children each having a particular skill that they are good at is also shown with other characters in the series. For example, with the Quagmire triplets, Isadora is a poet, Duncan is a journalist, and Quigley is a cartographer. The Baudelaires' volatile friend Fiona is a mycologist.

Film adaptation

Klaus was portrayed in the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events by Liam Aiken. However, in the film, Klaus doesn't wear glasses unless he is reading. He is also shown to be more self-asserting in the movie than in the books, with a somewhat more pessimistic outlook on the Baudelaire's situation. He overcomes this when Sunny is trapped in a bird cage on the top of the tower and he says to himself "There's always something", Violet's philosophy. Klaus is always about the numbers, something that stayed with the movie from the book. This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ...
