Dalbec
Dalbec is a folk hero from traditional Quebec folklore. Some tales of Dalbec were published by the folklorist William Parker Greenough in "Canadian Folk-Life and Folk-Lore" (1897). According to Greenough, he heard several folktales (or "contes", as they were called) involving Dalbec, as told by a French-Canadian "raconteur" (storyteller), a guide named Nazaire. Dalbec was a hunter, and his adventures are invariably outlandish and concern amazing feats involving overpowering animals: Along with Ti-Jean and the "voyageur"-hero Jean Cadieux, Dalbec is one of the most well-known characters of Quebec folklore.
