Franklin Delano Davers is a fictional character first seen in [[Brother Grimace]]'s "[[It's All About Respect]]." A full Colonel in the United States Army and the leader of
Franklin entered the U.S. military as a cadet at West Point and was a star quarterback, fielding offers from many NFL teams. (In the 'Army-Navy' game of his junior year, Franklin was humiliated when he was sacked five times by a Navy cadet in his last year... Kyle Armalin.) Prior to his transfer to DELPHI, Franklin was a member of Special Forces, completed his Ranger certifications, and spent
He is an expert with small arms and explosives, and has an unnatural accuracy in the use of pistols. Franklin also has a preference for black tea from India, is a ballroom and tap dancer of professional skill, and is known for his exceptionally handsome physical appearance including, as one person put it, 'those annoyingly perfect teeth'. He is referred to by Kyle as 'fashion plate', the name he hung on Franklin during the 'Army-Navy' game. ('''Like the taste of that grass, fashion plate? Get used to it! Be back for you later!)'' Obviously, Franklin hates the name.
As a result of events begun in [[Behind Enemy Lines]], Franklin is promoted to the rank of Brigadier General and transferred to SABRE, where he became commander of one of the first metahuman battalions, the Exterminators. Also, in recognition of the efforts he made to save the lives of a Space Shuttle crew during his escape (by providing alien equipment that rendered the Shuttle invisible to detection, and a micro-fuel cell that could allow the Shuttle to return to Earth under powered flight), Franklin was awarded a '[http://www.imax.com/spacestation/html/ss_010710.html Silver Snoopy]' pin. He is the '''only''' member of DELPHI, and one of a tiny number of non-NASA personnel, who have been so honored.
Franklin has also appeared in the [[Crusading Saint]] fics 'You Always Hurt...' and 'The Ones You Love'.▼
Franklin was widowed just after the events of [[Behind Enemy Lines]], when his wife, Commander Aki Davers (nee Ward), a U.S. Navy officer and a fellow member of the P.O.G.O. teams, died of as-yet unrevealed causes. He remarried [[Charlotte Spearsman]] soon after his return to Earth, and now has a daughter, Harmony.
He also has five brothers, he is the second oldest. George (the oldest) is a breeder of speciality cattle. After him is his younger brother John (a neurologist), Ulysses ('Uly', who owns a high-level modeling agency), and the two youngest Davers brothers, [[Jefferson Davers|Jefferson]] and [[Teddy Davers|Theodore ('Teddy')]], who are currently cadets at the [[United States Academy of Extranormal Studies]] in Evansville, Indiana.
