Franklin Davers: Difference between revisions

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 P.O.G.O. Group Ten, Franklin is a former associate of [[Kyle Armalin]] as well as friend, but their friendship ended under unknown circumstances related to Kyle's refusal to force [[Trent Lane]] into joining [[DELPHI]]. Franklin seems to have a special status as a personal 'troubleshooter' for General [[Robert Bakeson]], in which he performs sensitive or distasteful tasks (such as providing information on Kyle's recuritment activities to [[Erin Danielson-Chambers]], or sanctioning Brian Chambers because of his knowledge of DELPHI).

 

 

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.) Among his decorations are two [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinguished_Service_Cross_%28United_States%29 Distinguished Service Crosses]; one earned for his actions during the rescue of international health workers from a drug cartel in South America, and the second for the rescue of an U.S. Ambassador from neo-Nazi extremists in Eastern Europe.
