Arsene Lupin, the greatest thief in literature. Created by one Maurice Leblanc, Arsene Lupin's debut in literature happened a few decades later than Sherlock Holmes'. Arsene Lupin is a phantom thief that sends notices in advance of his crimes to the owner. He also leaves a signature in the places of stolen objects. Lupin is known also for his romantic endeavours, appealing to mostly female fans and enjoying their company. He has faced off against many detectives and still remains undefeated, largely because any interaction with detectives, even Sherlock Holmes was orchestrated by Leblanc. Although, based largely in France, Lupin sometimes travels to Britain, America, and other myriad countries.
