Claude Frollo

Judge Claude Frollo is the main antagonist of Disney's 1996 animated feature film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He is a ruthless Parisian minister of justice who, after a series of delicate circumstances, becomes the envious caretaker of the deformed Quasimodo. In addition to his political power, Frollo is a religious fanatic with intolerance towards sinners. He believes that gypsies (or "gypsies", as he refers to them) are the most heinous of all evildoers, and therefore dedicates twenty years of his life to eradicating them. Frollo's self-imposed mission leads him to carry out inhumane acts of violence, while using his loyalty to God as justification. With most of the film's heavy thematic elements directly tied to Frollo's story arc - such as religion, lust, and genocide - he is widely considered to be Disney's most complex and darkest villain of all time.
