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.

Grantaire is not physically attractive; he is described as "particularly ugly" or "inordinately homely,"[1] Contrastingly, Enjolras is described as having "...long fair lashes, blue eyes, that hair flying in the wind, rosy cheeks, pure lips, exquisite teeth".

He ridicules all dedication under all circumstances...[1]Grantaire plays a very small role in planning the June Rebellion.

They are also compared to Achilles and Patroclus, Alexander and Hephaestion, and several other male couples from Greek history and mythology.

The role was originated by Clive Carter in London’s West End and by Anthony Crivello on Broadway.
