Flashman
Flashman a character in Tom Brown's Schooldays (1857) by Thomas Hughes, revived from 1969 in a series of humorous novels by George Macdonald Fraser. Flashman is a bully and a coward (as in the original novel), and his reputation as a hero is entirely undeserved, but his saving grace appears to be that he is free from the hypocrisy of many of the more moral characters around him.
