Fictional Character

The Resume

    (1769-February 1833)
    Born in Faverooles, France
    Lead character in Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (1862)
    9430 might represent the date of his daughter's death (September 1843)
    Tree pruner/convict/factory owner/Mayor
    AKA Father/Monsieur Madeleine, Ultime Fauchelevent, Monsieur Leblanc and Urbain Fabre
    Prisoner #24601 and then #9430
    Urban legend says 24601 is the date of Victor Hugo's conception (24th June 1801)
    Another possibility is 246 (24th of June - St. John/Jean's Day)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was caught stealing a loaf of bread (1795).
    His 5 year prison sentence is extended to 19 years after 4 escape attempts.
    Victor Hugo witnessed a bread thief being arrested which he used to give credentials to Valjean (1846). He also noted the class differences.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He made the rather random number 24601 relevant (reverenced in the Simpsons, The Office and other media).
    He supported his sister and her seven children.
    A bishop he robbed gives him redemption which inspires him to clean up his act.
