Horrabin the Clown, created by Tim Powers for his excellent novel "The Anubis Gates" (which I highly recommend)

I want to leave here a historical quote I found on Rat Castle, a real place, in any case:
“[t]he castle was a large dirty building occupied by thieves and prostitutes, and boys who lived by plunder. On the removal of these buildings, in 1845, the massive foundations of an hospital were found, which had been built in the 12th century by Matilda, Queen of Henry the First, daughter of Malcolm, King of Scotland, for persons afflicted with leprosy”
