Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography reveals that many of Monty's reptiles were trained to communicate coded messages. He discovered the Incredibly Deadly Viper, which was completely harmless, but he deliberately gave it a misnomer to play a prank on his associates at the Herpetological Society, showing a mischievous sense of humor. This is different from the film canon in which he had a wife and children, but they died in a fire. Uncle Monty reveals he never had children or a wife because he had no time for it and was leaving the idea for later, but he said it kept slipping his mind. He was, being on the fire-fighting side of V.F.D., a noble and kind man. In the TV series, he probably attended Prufrock Preparatory School, like all the other volunteers. In the book, it is implied he has a bit of a vengeful side, saying he hopes Count Olaf is torn apart by wild animals someday before asking the Baudelaires, "Wouldn't that be satisfying?".
The Baudelaires’ short experience living with him was probably the most pleasant in the series and brought the Baudelaires great happiness to be provided a bed, good food, and care. He was a kind-hearted, resourceful, and passionate individual who loved caring for reptiles and various unorthodox pets, and seemed equally to enjoy caring for Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. In the books, Montgomery was described as a short chubby man with a round red face both the feature-film and the TV series make him taller and slenderer, and furnish him with a moustache.
