Based on the idea behind Pride & Prejudice and Zombies-
Myriel: a spoiled aristocrat who fled the French Revolution to return home a pious vampire. He is made the Bishop of Digne. He worships Jesus as the first mortal man ressurected and ascended to immortality by God for his sacrifice. He foresakes material wealth and dedicates his immortality to the penurious. He saves Valjean from prison and by "the blood of the martyrs" he offers Valjean immortality if he dedicates his mortal life to God.
Myriel hides in the shadows and is unseen by all, but is ever present and is even felt as the Holy Spirit by those whose faith are being tested.
Fantine, Eponine, Gavroche, the Friends of the ABC, Enjolras, Grantaire and finally Jean Valjean: rewarded ascension for their martyrdom by Myriel.
Javert: A werewolf policeman with a narrow-minded but vigilent faith in God's righteous but merciless justice. He does not believe in the forgiveness of sin. He is wrathful and pitiless. When Valjean refuses to prove his supposed wickedness and saves Javert's life, Javert cannot bring himself to arrest Valjean later. He feels pity for the first time for the innocent, dying Marius and forgives Valjean his crimes. Realizing his supposed failure of vigilence, he ultimately offers himself to Myriel. Myriel refuses him and denounces him for his merciless rage and hatred. When Javert kills himself, Myriel sucks his blood from the Seine.
The Thenardiers: viciously killed by Myriel at the end for their unrepentent godlessness.
Cosette and Marius: Myriel heals Marius and leaves him and Cosette with their happily ever after, for innocence must flourish in the world.
