Franklins was a butler working for Lord Kelnor, the Master of the House of Drumer. Like Kelnor, he was involved with the satanic cult within.

Duties

As butler, Franklins was observed to do the following tasks:

• Answer the front door to visitors.
• Deal with inquiries raised by the cultists within.
• Manage other members of staff such as the cook.
• Wait at the dining table.
• Deal with all requests to see Kelnor, even in the middle of the night.
• Using a button on a dining room chair to trap non-compliant visitors and then knocking them out with chloroform.

Abilities

Franklins carried a bottle of chloroform and a cloth in order to knock out his victims. However, he was unremarkable in combat and even reluctant to fight at all, but would continue even if Kelnor was killed

Dealing with Franklins

As stated, Franklins is a mediocre opponent, at least in human form. However, he was secretly a Hell Demon and the real Master. If an opponent facing both Kelnor and Franklins focuses on Kelnor, this will give Franklins time to transform and he will then kill the opponent. However, if an opponent who chose to fight Franklins, the first hit on the butler will trigger his transformation. As a Hell Demon, Franklins had skill 14, stamina 12, and could only be fought at all if the opponent had the Kris Knife and was in a red room.
