Strict, ardent, doubtful, dejected, cruel.

Claude Frollo's temperament can be interpreted as phlegmatic, with vivid choleric outbursts caused by passionate love and spiritual exaltation. We see before us a man who is passionate and striving for perfection in knowledge. The archdeacon's only enduring passion is alchemy, for he cannot fully master the secret knowledge. Over time, Claude Frollo became aware of the degree of gloom of the surrounding world and its content. He tries to fight to the end but suffers defeats. He has become extremely dangerous.

(Appearance):

Among the many faces illuminated by the crimson flames of the campfire, the face of a man stood out.... It was a stern, closed, gloomy man's face. This man, whose clothes were obscured by the crowd crowding around him, could not have been more than thirty-five years old; meanwhile, he was already bald, and only a few strands of sparse graying hair still remained on his temples; his broad and high forehead was furrowed with wrinkles, but in his deeply sunken eyes sparkled an extraordinary youthful fervor, thirst for life and hidden passion. At times, his smile replaced a sigh, but there was even more sorrow in his smile than in the sigh itself.

(He has icy gray eyes, but with a tired haze). The archdeacon appears in the novel as a tall, broad-shouldered man with a pale skin tone. He is not deprived of physical strength and has, moreover, a strong, clear voice).

He was born in 1446/47, into a family of minor nobles. The family name "de Tirechappe" (fr. de Tirechappe) was given by the name of one of the two fief possessions (the second is Moulin; in a conversation with his brother, he mentions that he wants to buy out the possessions).

(Story): .... He grew up as a sedate and quiet child. Since childhood, he was assigned to church services and taught to "keep his eyes down and speak in a low voice." He grew up bent over the breviary and vocabulary. He was sent to Torshi College to study, where he established himself as a diligent and capable student who was more interested in science than anything else in the world. Having succeeded in his studies, by the age of twenty he was a doctor of all four faculties: theology, law, medicine and liberal arts. Having exhausted all the possibilities of his service to God, Frollo grows cold towards the church.

We can't say for sure if he believes. And if so— who or what really? His religious fanaticism is the desire to follow the rules externally, but not internally. Having comprehended everything that medieval science could give him, the priest gradually renounces it:

-"Your science of man is nothing! Your science of the stars is nothing!"

(He is patriarchally aspiring, obsessed, adamant, does not have a normal family model, focusing on subordination and codependency).
