He is the senior archdeacon of Notre-Dame, coming from a noble family. He dedicated his youth entirely to religious education and scientific research. Losing his parents to the plague, he attached himself to his brother Jehan, whom he took under his care, with a father's love. Later, he took pity on the abandoned, ugly baby Quasimodo and raised him in the cathedral. For years, he kept himself away from women, worldly pleasures, and weaknesses, conducting vast research on alchemy and philosophy. However, upon seeing the gypsy girl Esmeralda dancing in the square in front of the cathedral, all his beliefs are shaken. The irrepressible passion he feels for the young girl drags his soul into a dark abyss. This impossible love and jealousy unleash the most terrible, destructive, and selfish feelings within him. Despite inflicting pain on himself and those around him, he cannot give up this dark passion.
Coming from an old noble family, Claude Frollo was trained to become a priest from his youth. With his intelligence, he quickly graduated from faculties such as law, medicine, and theology. Upon the death of his parents, he undertook the mission of raising his brother Jehan, then took in the unwanted Quasimodo and made him the cathedral bell-ringer. He built his life within the enclosed walls of Notre-Dame and his alchemy pots.
A tall, broad-shouldered man in a black cassock. He has a high, wide forehead, hair that has turned gray prematurely, and a terrifying, savage fire burning in his sunken eyes. He is generally somber and sullen.
