Ebenezer Scrooge

Ebenezer Scrooge is the main protagonist of the original Christmas Carol novel by Charles Dickens.

Fictional biography
Before the story's events, Ebenezer was hated by his own father, who blamed Scrooge for the death of his mother and sent to live in a boarding school. However, Ebenezer was loved by his sister, Fan (who was the spitting image of their mother). One Christmas, Ebenezer was no longer a student at the boarding school and left with his sister.

At one point, Ebenezer becomes an apprentice of Fezziwig, and loves to attend his parties. At one of them, he becomes engaged with a girl named Belle. However, she breaks off her relationship with him years later when she learns that he is in love with money over her.
