* MagnificentBastard: Written as an answer to Literature/SherlockHolmes himself by Creator/{{Arthur Conan Doyle}}'s brother in law, [[TitleCharacter AJ Raffles]] is a charming GentlemanThief who frequently robs the wealthy members of Victorian high society, with a special emphasis on honorless 'new rich' types, one point even stealing a valuable artifact from a museum and gifting it to the Queen herself for the Diamond Jubilee. Cunning and charming, Raffles repeatedly pulls off heists while sticking to his own curious code of honor, his exploits chronicled by his loyal friend Bunny. Raffles is rarely at a loss and just as good at being a criminal as Holmes is at detective work.
