Claude Frollo

Judge Frollo has an elderly and Serious appearance and has a menacing look with wrinkles on his face, black hair with gray hair and black eyes. He always wears his black judge's gown with purple motifs, he has a large purple and black striped cap with a red ribbon and red and black striped shoulder pads. He also wears yellow rings on his fingers, two on the right and one on the left, with the jewels colored red, green, and blue.

He is a cruel and corrupt government official who uses his place in power to further their own extreme ends, even employing common thugs to enforce their interpretation of God's will while posing as "soldiers".

Frollo actually believes it is a good person, or at least believes that his actions are for the greater good. making him a very three-dimensional character as well. He repeatedly refuses to find fault with himself and is quite self-righteous, declaring himself much purer than "the vulgar, weak, and licentious common crowd" and standing above the Biblical doctrine that all men are equally sinful, which confirms you as a narcissist. He believes that everything he does is in the name of God.

Twenty years ago, Frollo discovered a gypsy family arriving in Paris. The woman who was there fled from him, but the judge pursued her, thinking that she was carrying stolen goods with her. At the entrance to Notre Dame, he pushed her onto the stairs at the foot of the cathedral, thus killing her. When Judge Frollo saw that what she was carrying was a hideous baby, he went to throw it down a well, disgusted by her ugliness. When the Archdeacon finds out, he tells him that he will sin for it, Frollo vowed to take care of the gypsy's hideous baby by raising and teaching him for eighteen years while working as a Notre Dame bell ringer, naming him Quasimodo, which means "ill-shaped". Twenty years later, Frollo, now Minister of Justice, summons the brave war soldier Phoebus to be his new Captain of the Guard, as the latter was "a bit disappointing" to him and is being tortured to death in the Palace. of Justice. He hopes to get the Roma out of Paris with the help of Phoebus and go to heaven when he dies (something impossible, due to his many misdeeds). While attending the annual Festival of Fools, Frollo discovers a Romani dancer named Esmeralda, who attracts him with her beauty. Soon after he learns that Quasimodo left the bell tower against his orders, entered the Festival, and was crowned King of Fools. Frollo refuses to help Quasimodo when the latter is being publicly attacked by the mob to teach him a lesson, even as the hunchback pleads for his help; he delays Phoebus's request to stop him. He is enraged when Esmeralda openly challenged him for his cruelty and releases Quasimodo. In retaliation, he orders her arrested. After seeing her disappear in a cloud, he hastily concludes that she is a witch and immediately orders Phoebus to bring her back alive. With the help of the crowd, Esmeralda escapes to the Cathedral, where Frollo finds her talking to Phoebus and orders them to force her out of the Cathedral, but the Archdeacon rebuffs her and orders everyone out
