Duncan, Isadora, and Quigley Quagmire were heirs to the famous Quagmire Sapphires, a collection of valuable gems passed down through the Quagmire Family. It is unknown how the Quagmire parents acquired the relics, but it is known that the jewels are what paid for the Quagmire Mansion.
They also attracted the attention of Count Olaf. He strongly desired the Quagmire Sapphires and as is common of many of his other endeavors, Olaf most likely went about getting them by murdering Mr. and Mrs. Quagmire. However, it is unknown whether or not he was responsible for the Quagmire fire. At the end of The Austere Academy, Olaf set his sights on using the Quagmire triplets to gain access to the sapphires. He kidnapped Duncan and Isadora and hid them at his house and in a statue of a salmon in The Ersatz Elevator, and in the Village of Fowl Devotees's Fowl Fountain throughout the course of The Vile Village. With the help of the Baudelaire children, the Quagmires were eventually able to escape. Afterward, Olaf's interest in the sapphires seemed to wane, and the current status of the gems is unknown.
