It's not clear on whether Francis is the monster in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or not, but he likes to make claims of the sort. Eventually we'll get around to some of Francis' true background, but there are several other things we need to address before then. I've gone and fiddled with his design a little again. I'm happier with this version of him than I was with his last rework... but at least he's the one character that could legitimately look different from one day to the next and the rest of the cast would barely bat an eye at it.
