Grantaire (French pronunciation: [Grɑ̃-tər]) is a fictional character from the 1862 novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. He is a student from the South of France and is one of the principal characters of the revolutionary group known as the Friends of the ABC. According to the novel, the Friends of the ABC only tolerate him because of his good humour, and he only joins because of his veneration of the leader, Enjolras. He often signs with his rebus: R and, at one point, Bossuet calls him "Capital R." He is a gambler and often drunk.
