Bio
Sir Harry Paget Flashman VC KCB KCIE is a fictional character created by George MacDonald Fraser.
In Hughes' book, Flashman (a relatively minor character) is portrayed as a notorious bully at Rugby School who persecutes Tom Brown, and who is finally expelled for drunkenness. Fraser decided to write Flashman's memoirs, in which the school bully would be identified with an "illustrious Victorian soldier" experiencing many 19th-century wars and adventures and rising to high rank in the British Army, acclaimed as a great soldier, while remaining "a scoundrel, a liar, a cheat, a thief, a coward—and oh yes, a toady." Fraser's Flashman is an antihero who often runs from danger in the novels and is consistently portrayed as a misogynist. Nevertheless, through a combination of luck and cunning, he usually ends each volume acclaimed as a hero
