Literary History

Arsène Lupin
Arsène Lupin

First seen in the story Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Cambrioleur in1907, Arsene Lupin, the brilliant master burglar and thief with a heart of gold, has also played the roles of hero and anti-hero for little over a century now. Lupin has also battled the likes of Sherlock Holmes (or one of many lawyer-friendly pastiches), matching his wits against the Master Detective in numerous occasions.

While he may be considered a crook and criminal by the law, most of his 'victims' tend to be worse by comparison. Sometimes his crimes have ulterior/positive motives, and he very rarely does more than injure anyone who tries to stop him.
