Franklin Bordeau

Franklin (フランクリン, Furankurin) has the appearance of a hulking, Frankensteinian monster, complete with scars and sewn-up wounds that ravage his face. Franklin ranks fourth in physical power among the Troupe, and he is among the original members hailing from Meteor City.

Background
Franklin is an original member of Troupe that hail Meteor City. It is a junkyard city inhabited by outcasts that refuse to be part of society. People who live there do not exist in any official records, and the existence of the city itself is known to very few people. It is also stated in manga and anime that original members of the Phantom Troupe had something to do with the bad blood between the Mafia and those from Meteor City. Why the Troupe left the city is a mystery. Later, the group was joined by more members, in accordance with Chrollo's idea of a group comprising of exactly thirteen members, including himself.

Personality
It seems that, despite his harsh exterior lies a small, caring spot in his character, as Franklin acts as a care-giver to Shizuku and shows concern for her well-being. He is also composed and respectful, normally breaking up arguments and fights within the organization. At the same time, Franklin is not "soft"; as he never hesitates to kill, even reveling in combat, and is never hesitant when in difficult situations.

Nen Ability
Franklin is an Emitter in the Phantom Troupe. His Nen ability is called Double Machine Gun

Double Machine Gun: The fingers and thumbs on his two hands become openings similiar to those of shotguns, and through which he can expel aura balls to attack. He could also throw his balls without using the openings of his fingers, but because it's much more impressive, he cuts his own fingers. In actuality, it allowed his aura to bcome stronger. Determination and self-imposed limitations play a very important role in the progress of the power of the nen. 富蘭克林
