The correct answer is: Rascal.

Chaucer's Pilgrims on the Canterbury Tales were thirty, they are introduced one by one during the General Prologue as characters, such as the Knight, the Man of Law, The Clerk, The Merchant, among others. They can be classified into five social groups which are women, military, merchants, clergy, and nobility or bourgeoisie.

The rascal is not a group represented by any of Chaucer's Pilgrims.
