## Introduction

**Francisco Mateo Morales** (Belarusian: Францыска Матэа Маралес)**,** nicknamed **Francis,** is the Hvitur Clan leader's Right-Hand Man, husband, and the overall main character in the Scheur series. He and Lionel Goldenwood are shown to be the only homosexual marriage. His long-lost daughter is a local painter known as Charlie Skye, who eventually changed her last name to Morales, like him.

## Living

### Hometown

Born in Valencia, Spain, moved to London after a week of delivery

## Appearance

In Francis's cartoon debut, he has scathingly bright red hair, a large, pointy nose, emerald-green eyes, yellow sclera, and pointy yellow teeth. He also has freckles but are vague. He wears dangling black cross earrings with two other helix piercings above. His top hat is a gray shade with a pale purple feather to the side. He also has his signature mustache. The drawing can be found here.

In the canon art of Francis, he is nearly the opposite of his cartoon version. He looks rather frail and shy, and perhaps even "fragile". He sports large golden cross earrings and the usual two ear rings on the helix. He wears white gloves, brown dress shoes, dark indigo pants, and a gray-blue-indigo jacket complimented with a frilly lighter blue collar-like accessory added to the jacket. He appears to be handsome and gentle looking.

In the book, he is described as a handsome young man (he is not very attractive in his cartoon version) with very fair skin, as it was described by Charlie as "being the color of vanilla ice cream", which is a nearly white shade of yellow. He has short, spiky red hair, and emerald-colored eyes. His eyes are sharp and angular. His eyes' pupils, oddly, are shaped like a thin slit, which can be compared to a cat's pupils. He has broad shoulders.

His basic facial expression, according to how the author thinks of him, looks rather threatening, though he was not trying to look that way.

He has a mustache as well. On his left ear helix is two pierced silver ear rings. He also wears cross studs on his right and left earlobe. Therefore, he has one piercing on his right ear and three on his left ear.

## Personality

When Francis was promoted to the right-hand man position, he swore to Dio, the Scavenger leader, that he'd always stand by his side and protect him, even if he had to sacrifice his own life for it. He believes that the first priority in an airship invasion is protecting the leader, Dio or not.

Unlike Charlie's mother Valentina Perez, Francis appears to be a "real" parent, as he is very fatherly and caring towards Charlie, as Valentina neglected her.

## Name meaning

The name Francisco is of Spanish and Portuguese origin, meaning "Frenchman or free man". This suggests that he could possibly be of French descent. His middle name, Mateo, is actually the Spanish variant of Matthew. It means "gift". His last name, Morales, means "son of Moral" (which certainly does not make any sense, according to Raegan). It is also of Spanish origin.

## Childhood

Francis grew up in an extremely wealthy family in eastern London, as he was actually born in Valencia, Spain. His family moved to London because his father found a better job in London than his current one in Valencia.

Francis has two sisters, in which he is younger than one and older than the other, thus he is the middle child. He wasn't as smart as his sisters but was still quite intelligent. He did well in school until he went to high school where school became too hard and too much work. He also joined a drama club.

After he turned 20, his family's mansion was robbed, and they lost millions of dollars. That is the reason why Francis and his mother couldn't afford to pay for his father's cancer treatment, and the reason why he joined the Hvitur Clan.
