Movie(s) your character is in: HoND
Character's Personality: Frollo is a self-righteous, manipulative and arrogant sociopath with virtually no regard for humanity. Given his lack of remorse and empathy, he will use and even step on anybody (Quasimodo, in particular) to achieve his goals. His villainous qualities, which include racism, lust, religious bigotry and hypocrisy, remained quite mature for a children's film.
Character's History: Claude Frollo resides in Paris, France, where he is employed as a Court Judge. A deeply religious man, Frollo uses his position to inflict great suffering upon the gypsy population, believing them to "live outside the natural order" and engage in "heathen" behavior. One night, a group of gypsies attempt to enter Paris, only to be stopped by Frollo and his soldiers. When one of the gypsy women attempts to flee, Frollo pursues and eventually kills her on the steps of Notre Dame, only to realize she was the mother of a hideously deformed infant child. Frollo attempts to murder the infant but is stopped by the Archdeacon, who convinces him that, in order to save his soul from eternal d**nation, Frollo must raise the child as his own son.
Naming the child Quasimodo (which means "half-formed"), Frollo raises him within the towers of Notre Dame, attempting to "protect" him from the human world. For all Frollo's strict discipline and religious guidance, Quasimodo remains an optimistic, free-spirited child over the next twenty years. During this time, Frollo has continued to gain power within the city, imprisoning, torturing and killing gypsies while convincing the public of their "evil" behavior. Prior to attending the annual Festival of Fools, Frollo encounters Captain Phoebus, a well-meaning soldier who is assigned the task of locating the infamous Court of Miracles, which the gypsies have taken as their official hiding place.
While attending the festival, Frollo discovers a gypsy dancer named Esmeralda, who simultaneously attracts and disgusts Frollo with her beauty; shortly afterwards, Quasimodo is revealed to have fled the tower and joined the festivities, only to be crowned the King of Fools and publicly humiliated. As the townspeople mock Quasimodo, Frollo refuses to help and is disgusted when a defiant Esmeralda assists him instead. Esmeralda then ridicules and humiliates Frollo before escaping into Notre Dame, while a furious Frollo silently scolds Quasimodo.
Esmeralda claims sanctuary within the cathedral, although Frollo remains watchful of her behavior. That evening, Frollo is disturbed by his attraction for Esmeralda, believing a relationship with a gypsy will result in his eternal d**nation (which he expresses in "Hellfire"). In this scene it becomes clear that Frollo is losing his mind as he struggles with his concepts of good and evil and his desire for Esmeralda. During the song he suffers from violent halucinations, eventually passing out. Unbeknownst to Frollo, Quasimodo has allowed Esmeralda to escape the cathedral, and Frollo begins raiding villages in search of her.
Upon learning of Esmeralda's escape, Frollo is enraged and begins a ruthless campaign to "find the gypsy girl". He later attempts to murder an innocent family whom he suspects of collaborating with gypsies, but an appalled Phoebus intervenes and rescues them; Frollo declares Phoebus a traitor and attempts to execute him, but he is eventually rescued by Esmeralda.
Realizing Quasimodo assisted Esmeralda, Frollo convinces him that the Court of Miracles has been found and will eventually be attacked; a misled Quasimodo follows Phoebus to the Court where Frollo's army attacks and arrests the gypsies. Frollo then sentences her to execution while Quasimodo remains locked in the bell tower. She refuses to become Frollo's mistress and is prepared to burn to death, but Quasimodo escapes, rescues her and brings her to the cathedral. Frollo's men then attack Notre Dame, engaging in a violent battle against the townspeople and Quasimodo, who sends stones from the tower and eventually fills the street with molten lead.
After defying the Archdeacon and flinging him down a flight of stairs, Frollo attempts to murder Quasimodo (in a scene reminiscent of the showe scene from Psycho, ensuing in a violent struggle in which Quasimodo overpowers the deranged judge and informs him that for all the lies Frollo has told him, he knows that the only thing dark about the world is people like him. Esmeralda awakens, and Quasimodo rushes her to safety. Frollo chases him and Esmeralda onto a balcony overlooking the city, engaging in yet another fight with Quasimodo. He eventually confesses to Quasimodo that his mother did not abandon him and that he never saved his life but rather killed his mother, and was originally planning to kill Quasimodo as well, and that he was now going to carry out his true intentions, by throwing him over the edge of the balcony. Frollo slips and dangles momentarily for his life, but he is soon able to climb on a statue in perfect position to kill them. Frollo laughs maniacally and shouts "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into a fiery pit" but as he raises his sword the demonic gargoyle he is standing on crumbles beneath his feet. Frollo grabs onto another gargoyle and the figurehead appears come to life and snarls at him, glowing with fiery eyes. Whether the gargoyle actually came to life or if Frollo in his madness was hallucinating again is not explained. The gargoyle crumbles off the cathedral and sends a wailing Frollo to his fiery death below.

The appallingly irritated elder glanced sideways at the southerner fox. He felt the need to wring his neck for such a question, but the fellow was just too abhorred by the creature’s mannerisms and simply leered. “Why you insolent—“ Perhaps he’d concentrate more on appeasing his temper rather than waste it on such a creature. “Over to the right.” He said flatly. The fox was gnawing at his last nerves.
The now hesitant judge slowly watched the indecent gypsy court the dragoness. As his hands reached into his pocket robes, he quietly observed the asinine fool get carried away with his running mouth. Just as he was about to take a graceful leave, he heard a voice unlike the overconfident Clopin, as if disturbed. Suddenly curious as to why, he peered over his shoulder, casting a stony expression. Fire. He whirled around fully in horror, shielding himself as he took slow steps back.
Compose yourself, you fool, he thought.
He gently put his hands to his back, admiring the fruits of the malevolent fairy’s fury. She was not one to fool with, it was obvious from the start. He stepped sideways, the stark raving mad gypsy missing him by mere inches. Regaining his much missed composure, he put a long finger to his chin, tapping it once or twice in amusement.
No more than a mere step back, Frollo quietly allowed the familiar cherry-haired beauty to access the mistress’s dark presence. Was she truly so foolish as to approach the demon? It appeared so. He wrinkled his nose in disgust at the furry treat, closing his eyes momentarily to retreat into the dark recesses of his befuddled mind. His silvery brows knitted together, revealing this. Quietly, steadily did he reopen them, glancing over the two women. He was quite interested in learning her fate.
“I see you’ve made friends.” He said to the amber-eyed beauty, observing the distraught, goateeless clown. He jerked over to Fox, Esmeralda, and Clopin patiently strolling over to them. He eyed them—suddenly he was a man of few words today. His stare seemed to penetrate their sinful souls the moment he directed his chin downwards to gaze upon their animated faces.
