Jean Valjean
A former prisoner living in a time of revolution in France, struggling to lead a normal life after stealing bread to feed his sister. He has since become the building's Super, and his former nemesis Javert have a sort-of demi-relationship.
Where is he from?
The main character in Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Miserables, and in the 1987 stage musical of the same name. There have been several film adaptations of this story, as well as a few noteable stage performances. We can look at some of them here:
