==Story==

Francis is a knight and swore to protect [[Henri]]. He obeys [[Basil Galeos]] and does what he's asked to do, but he's more faithful to Henri. He heavily mistrusts [[Laura]], especially at first.

In Ventus' scenario he pops at the beggining of the carrier mission and together with Ventus they go and catch the carriers that stole [[Basil Galeos|Basil Galeos']] items. This recruitment is special since without a guide, not many players would figure out to do this carrier mission of all the possibilities and also because it's at the end not at all explained why Francis stays in the team.

==Battle==
Francis is built for Melee Arts that output the maximum damage possible. His high stats, high LP and low magic ability are ideal for tanking damage. His initial [[Growth Panel]] needs some work to maximize damage output (adding Axe and Melee panels) but the presence of a Shield Panel is a bonus.

==Trivia==
*Francis is quite special considering that regardless of being a secondary character, he did visit [[Nakle Lines]] with [[Basil Galeos]]. Also he does appear during Laura's ending.
*Francis's battle quote against [[Chaos]] in Laura's story implies he may have knowledge as to the origins of Chaos, the game's final boss. However, he may have been referring to the power of [[The Seven Wonders]], rather than Chaos specifically, at the time.
