Francis is a Witch Hunter working with the Light House.

Relationship

Cleo Aleshire offered to take him under her wing and bring him to Montreal with her.<ref>“I’m from the Montreal group, but we’re really incestuous. Trade people all the time. We lost a few the other night, the others are a bit lost, they’re waiting for reinforcements and marching orders, so I’m taking Francis under my wing. Might take him back to Montreal for a bit. Give him an education in our methods.”-Excerpt from Summer Break 13.5</ref>

Appearance

He is gaunt and scruffy.<ref>Francis followed behind Cleo. A kid Verona’s age. Slightly gaunt, slightly dangerous look in the eyes, clothes a bit scuffed, skin more than a bit scuffed. All suggesting he’d been in fights recently. Kinda cute in a coyote-that’s-growing-out-of-puppyhood sort of way. Like, in the way that she’d want to pet him but she was pretty sure he bit and that risk would be there no matter how much she tried.- Excerpt from Summer Break 13.5</ref>

Abilities

He has a high dexterity, knows when he's being watched and the interplay between light and shadow.<ref>The fucking little kid was a ninja.

...

The kid had a very intuitive sense of when he was watched, of light and shadow and its interplay. Reid had fought the Hennigars who had trained in a variety of styles for much of their lives and those guys hadn’t had the ability this kid was putting on display.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.z</ref>

He uses a crossbow and knives as a weapon.<ref>The kid had already scaled his way up there. He held a small crossbow.

Reid snapped his fingers. The tin hammer at his belt stirred, and windows on the upper floor of the building shattered. He’d been focused on the crossbow, but the practice had a way of not landing directly on these assholes.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.z</ref><ref>Cleo smiled. “That’s going to annoy me. You have a gun, Francis? I hope you don’t object to me using it on her.”

...

“I’ve got knives.”

- Excerpt from Summer Break 13.5</ref>

Has a terrible poker face.<ref>And that poker face, the disgust on Francis’s face… that would need something too.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.a</ref>

Chronology

His origins as a Witch Hunter involve faerie-adjacent creatures.<ref>“That was a Faerie!”

...

“You going to be okay?” Francis asked.

“Don’t fucking condescend to me when you can’t even shave yet, boy. Have you been trained in what to do with this shit, boy?”

“I started with this shit, sir,” Francis said.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.a</ref><ref>“Little Francis has dealt with something Faerie-adjacent,” Guilherme said.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.8</ref>

He was injuried whilst fighting Reid Musser<ref>Reid threw a knife, hard, and pushed it out, away. It went as far as a bullet might, out of sight, and with Drowne’s awareness, he could push it in the direction of his target-

The knife found the flesh of the little ninja-like asshole with the crossbow. He didnt know where, but it didn’t matter. It slowed him down and pushed him to the ground, letting Drowne approach.

- Excerpt from False Moves 12.z</ref> but lived when Drowne refused to kill him.<ref>Reid was very aware that Drowne hadn’t actually followed through on finishing the boy. He didn’t know enough and hadn’t dedicated enough focus to seeing the actual events unfold.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.z</ref>
