Francis is a Common Box Hero.

Francis is the 4th and final cat players receive during the Tutorial and can also be found in Common Hero Boxes.

## Description

 Rank 1

## Promotion

Francis can be "promoted" by crafting a special outfit offered on a rotating basis as one of the Monthly Challenges. The outfit is strictly cosmetic and has no special perks or hidden features.

*Note: All 15 cats used as materials must be leveled up to level 10 but do not need to be evolved, and all cats and other materials will disappear from the guild when crafting begins.*

## Lines

* "Meh."
* "Tweet me @francisthemage."
* "I want that loot!"
* "I'm a mage!"

## Trivia

* Francis, Conan and Catniss are the main heroes of the game, the first to join the guild (after the tutorial hostess), the first three cats in the Hero Book, and the lead characters in the Main Story Quest.
* His "Meh" line and sometimes sarcastic attitudes might be a reference to Francis from the video game *Left 4 Dead*.
* From the first time they meet in the tutorial, Francis becomes the object of Purrcilla's desires.
	+ In the Valentine 2017 Quest, Purrcilla uses a potion to create her and Francis' child, Purrcis, without Francis' knowledge or consent.
* Early in the Call of Heroes 2020 Quest, Francis mysteriously vanishes after being hit by a lightning bolt, and when he later returns, he claims he had been teleported to a land where dogs are fighting against their evil cat oppressors; that land turns out to be Lupinia, the setting for PocApp Studios' *Dungeon Dogs* game, which featured the story of Francis' travels beyond Catania in its inaugural Release Event 2020 Quest.
* Francis is a participant in Ember, Catania's version of the dating app Tinder that has appeared in the game during Valentine Events since 2021; his profile reads as follows: *The more gold you have, the more I will like you. Not love. My love is a treasure few of you will earn. If you think napping is “lazy” you're the problem, not me.*
* According to the 2022 Ask-The-Devs-Anything, Francis is an only child.
* Francis' Mew Year's Eve party hat is the same one he automatically wore in the Anniversary Event 2017.
* Francis is highly active on Twitter, as suggested by his line, "Follow me @francisthemage," and currently has over twice as many followers as the official Castle Cats account, @castle\_cats, a fact he likes to brag about.
* Francis also has his own plush toy on the official Castle Cats Store.
* In the Call of Heroes 2023 Quest, Francis receives a letter from the League of True Evil for meddling with superhero battles and (accidentally) causing harm. He receives his letter *before* Metal Claw, who has tried for years to gain the League's attention.
