Can you give us a bigger hint? Like where/when the story takes place, or who is this character a fugitive from? I'm drawing a blank.

 

[Pink Biz]

OK, it takes place in France and a loaf of bread is involved.

Jean Valjean?

I just thought of him before reading your clue, but thanks anyway for the clue. That makes me pretty sure I'm right. Good choice of a character!
