He becomes an expert cricket-bowler, but only through hard effort (he needed sporting credit at Rugby School, and feared to play rugby football). He claims only three natural talents: horsemanship, facility with foreign languages, and fornication. His dark colouring frequently enabled him to pass (in disguise) for a Pashtun. In Flashman and the Tiger, he mentions that one of his grandchildren has black hair and eyes, resembling him in his younger years. Beside politics, the older Flashman character has interests including drinking, fox hunting (riding to hounds), and women.ДЇlashman is a large man, sixВ feet twoВ inches (1.88В m) tall and close to 13 stone (about 180 pounds or 82В kg). Buckley, it is related, also served as a Member of Parliament (MP) but was 'sent to the knacker's yard at Reform'. The character subsequently marries Flashman's mother Lady Alicia Paget, a fictional relation of the real Marquess of Anglesey. Buckley, a bold young officer in the British cavalry, is said to have been wounded in action at Talavera in 1809, and then to have gained access to 'society' by sponsoring bare-knuckle boxer Tom Molineaux (the first black man to contend for a championship). Harry Flashman's equally fictional father, Henry Buckley Flashman, appears in Black Ajax (1997). Despite their wealth, the Flashmans 'were never the thing' Flashman quotes the diarist Henry Greville's comment that 'the coarse streak showed through, generation after generation, like dung beneath a rosebush'. In Flashman, Flashman says that his great-grandfather, Jack Flashman, made the family fortune in America, trading in rum, slaves and ' piracy too, I shouldn't wonder'.

Paget was one of the heroes of Waterloo, who cuckolded the Duke of Wellington's brother Henry Wellesley and later-in one of the period's more celebrated scandals-married Lady Anglesey, after Wellesley had divorced her for adultery. He also provided Flashman's first and middle names, as Hughes's novel had given Flashman only one, using the names to make an ironic allusion to Henry Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey. ДЇraser gave Flashman a lifespan from 1822 to 1915 and a birth-date of 5 May. Nevertheless, through a combination of luck and cunning, he usually ends each volume acclaimed as a hero. Fraser decided to write the story of Flashman's later life, in which the school bully would be identified as an 'illustrious Victorian soldier', experiencing many of the 19th-century wars and adventures of the Empire and rising to high rank in the British Army, to be acclaimed as a great warrior, while still remaining 'a scoundrel, a liar, a cheat, a thief, a coward-and, oh yes, a toady.' Fraser's Flashman is an antihero who often runs away from danger. In Tom Brown's School Days (1857), Flashman is portrayed as a notorious Rugby School bully who persecutes Tom Brown and is finally expelled for drunkenness, at which point he simply disappears. Flashman was played by Malcolm McDowell in the Richard Lester 1975 film Royal Flash.
