What is Arsène Lupin?
'''Arsène Lupin''' is a [[France|French]] [[fictional character]] who appears in a [[book series]] of [[crime fiction]] [[novel]]s written by [[French people|French]] writer [[Maurice Leblanc]], as well as a number of [[sequels]] and movie, television, stage play and [[comic book]] adaptations. He made his debut in July 1905 in his first series, ''L'Arrestation d'Arsène Lupin'' ({{lang-en|Arsène Lupin arrested}}). The adventure of this bold [[Theft|thief]] earns a controversial reputation — the rage or fury of police officers who keep missing him on the scene of robbery, and even in the jail, and the [[wikt:admire|admiration]] from citizens who love to check up on the newspapers to see if there's any article about his great robberies. Lupin is portrayed as [[Patriotism|patriotic]], [[Romance (love)|romantic]], [[wikt:audacious|audacious]], self-respecting, and [[respect]]ful to women. ==Backstory== Lupin was born in 1874. His father was a [[gymnastics]] teacher and taught him [[boxing]] and [[fencing]] which later became Lupin's attacking specialties. He was raised by a nanny Victoire, and their relationship lasted until the end of the series. His parents got [[divorce]]d, and his mother started working for a relative who is fairly arrogant. In the house of the relative, Lupin robs a necklace as revenge. Until eighteen, he had been learning [[law]], [[medicine]], [[acting]], and [[martial art]]s. His journey as a thief starts at age eighteen. In addition to his real name, he likes using several [[Pseudonym|fake names]], such as Sernine and Perenna. They have different jobs, which vary from famous traveller to retired general. He sometimes disguises himself as a [[detective]], and solves lots of mysterious incidents, and becomes famous. He usually buys a kind of [[identification card]] from an unknown and recently dead man, and uses his name. The ending of his life is not clear, because the author, Maurice Leblanc, was dead in 1941 before completing ''Le Dernier Amour d'Arsène Lupin'' ({{lang-en|The Last Love
