I can't find a manga that features this character, so I'll say no.

No.
So this means either:
i) the character appeared in something that was published after 1950, or
ii) that its first publication was not in English, or
iii) that it was not a novel but another form of printed medium.

Given we know the author was born before 1900, I'm leaning towards (ii).
