Also known as Inspector Javert
Javert (), no first name given in the source novel, is a fictional character and a main antagonist of Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Misérables. He was presumably born in 1780 and died on June 7, 1832. First a prison guard, and then a police inspector, his character is defined by his legalist tendencies, authoritarian worldview, and lack of empathy for criminals of all forms. In the novel, he persecutes the protagonist Jean Valjean after his violation of parole and theft from the child Petit Gervais.

沙威（法語：Javert，法语发音：[ʒavɛʁ]，約1780年-1832年6月7日），是法国作家維克多·雨果所著小說《悲慘世界》中的一名警探。在小說中，他全心投入於對逃犯尚萬強的追捕，以近乎盲從的態度遵循法律，契而不捨地追捕尚萬強，但都被他逃脫。在革命中，便衣潛入街壘後被識破，尚萬強本可殺死賈維，但卻放走了他。後來，賈維也讓尚萬強逃走。此時，賈維意識到法律程序並不道德。內心的衝突使他無所適從，最後投河自盡。
