Claude Frollo
Flamel has been portrayed in popular fiction as a legendary figure who holds the key to immortality or the philosopher's stone. For example, in Victor Hugo's 1831 novel "Notre Dame de Paris", the tragic main character Claude Frollo is a young priest and alchemist who spends much of his time studying the carvings in Les Innocents, trying to fathom Flamel's secrets. Into the twentieth and twenty-first century, works such as "Harry Potter" (1997 to the ), "Fullmetal Alchemist" (2001–2010), "The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" (2007–2012), and "As Above, So Below" (2014) have propagated the legend of Nicolas Flamel.
