He is the eldest child of Lois and Hal Wilkerson and the oldest of the Wilkerson brothers, the most popular and well-liked and also the biggest troublemaker. He is reckless, immature, incompetent, lazy, ignorant, spiteful, arrogant, selfish, manipulative man, though he is also kind, thoughtful, caring, hardworking and intelligent. From the day he was born, Francis has been driven by a strong and extremely misguided need for freedom and independence. At heart he is a two-faced rebel.
