* Gaston Max was the protagonist of a series of novels by Sax Rohmer, which lasted from 1915 to 1943. He was a member of the Paris police but was often called to assist police agencies around the globe. He was also a [[Master of Disguise]].

* The novel ''The Revenge Of The Countess Of Cagliostro'' (1935) introduces the character of Jean Lupin, a son of Arsène who was kidnapped by Countess Cagliostro at an early age. Raised to become a weapon against his father, under the alias Felicien Charles. The two Lupins face each other in 1924. Both surviving the encounter, though the younger man is never mentioned again.
