## Throughout the Series

### Season 01

Frank, who is tired of going through life undercover, is working his days as a demolition worker on a construction site. He takes out his feelings on cement walls and often works long after his shifts end. One night he is interrupted by a group of criminals who work there and is threatened. A young coworker then befriends him, possibly feeling pity for the man, but is then also indoctrinated into a group of criminals that work at the same site. After a botched robbery, he witnesses the four attempting to kill the new kid, and ends up killing the criminals themselves, forcing him to flee again. After that night, Frank is found by David Lieberman who offers him help in finding out the truth behind his family's murder. In the beginning, Frank is very cautious since there's few people who know he's still alive, and David isn't one of them. Eventually, Castle starts trusting David, (who goes by) "Micro" and together, they go after William Rawlins -- the man responsible for killing defenseless people, drug trafficking and death of Frank's family. To achieve his goal, Frank goes through many bloody battles, losses of his friends and eventually coming close to death for the sake of the matter. After killing Rawlins -- assisted by Billy Russo, he then collapses, Micro & Dinah then arrive, and Dinah aids Frank, taking him to her parents' house in hopes of him not being taken into custody. After a scare, Frank spends time recovering, and tries to kill Billy Russo (who injures Curtis), but fails, Billy then escapes once again, and kidnaps 2 innocent people after setting a meeting time with Frank. After Frank shows up, they get into a small firefight, after which Billy threatens the kid's lives, and Frank appears to surrender, taking multiple bullets to his vest, Dinah then arrives, and Billy shoots her, she also hits her head after falling unconscious, and Frank takes that as his time to attack, getting into another intense fight with Billy -- although this time, he emerges as the victor, brutally injuring Billy, but ultimately sparing him (and rescuing the kids), the police then take Billy to the hospital, alongside Dinah. Frank is awarded for his heroics, and is "still at large.", He then retakes the identity of Pete Castiglione, and leaves New York.
