Line 5:
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 three years during his captaincy in Special Services, where he was involved in a myriad of public-affairs and diplomatic duties. (He moved through the ranks with unusual speed because of the connections he has made in those circles, and is almost certain to rise to flag rank before the age of forty - an amazing feat for an officer involved with special operations.) 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 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 refered 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 transfered to SABRE, where he became commander of one of the first metahuman battalions, the Exterminators.
 
Franklin is married to Commander Aki Ward, a U.S. Navy officer and a fellow member of the P.O.G.O. teams. He also has a younger brother, Jefferson, who is currently a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York.
