===Friends of the ABC===
A revolutionary student club. In French, the letters "ABC" are pronounced identically to the French word {{lang|fr|abaissés}}, "the abased".
* '''Bahorel''' – A dandy and an idler from a peasant background who is well known around the student cafés of Paris.
* '''Combeferre''' – A medical student described as representing the philosophy of the revolution.
* '''Courfeyrac''' – A law student described as the centre of the group of Friends. He is honorable, warm, and Marius's closest companion.
* '''Enjolras''' – The leader of the Friends in the [[June Rebellion|Paris uprising]]. A resolute and charismatic youth, he is passionately committed to republican principles and the idea of progress. He and Grantaire are executed by the National Guards after the barricade falls.
* '''Feuilly''' – An orphaned [[fan maker]] and passionate [[Polonophile]] who taught himself to read and write. He is the only member of the Friends who is not a student.
* '''Grantaire''' (also "R") – A drunk with little interest in revolution. Despite his pessimism, he eventually declares himself a believer in the Republic and dies alongside Enjolras, whom he reveres.
* '''Jean Prouvaire''' (also Jehan) – A [[Romanticism|Romantic]] with knowledge of Italian, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew and an interest in the [[Middle Ages]]
* '''Joly''' – A medical student who has unusual theories about health. He is a hypochondriac and is described as the happiest of the Friends.
* '''Lesgle''' (also Lègle, Laigle, L'Aigle [''The Eagle''], or Bossuet) – The oldest member of the group. Considered notoriously unlucky, Lesgle begins balding at the age of twenty-five. It is Lesgle who introduces Marius to the Friends.
