For 10 points, name this unforgiving lawman who doggedly pursues Jean Valjean, a noble antagonist in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.
Early in the work this character appears in, he is described as a "dog son of a wolf" that has been given a human face. In a later episode, this character gives another major character a pair of small pistols called fisticuffs to help thwart a robbery. This opponent of the Patron-Minettes was once called to testify against a beggar who'd stolen a bough of apples, while later he is tied to a pole in a restaurant after being discovered by a street urchin carrying an unloaded gun. Later, this character's life is saved when his nemesis talks Enjolras out of executing him. He allows his enemy to take the critically wounded Marius to his home before abandoning that enemy and throwing himself into the river Seine.
