Franz was a human civilian xenoanthropologist in the Planetary Union.
Life
In late 2419, Admiral Tom Halsey assigned Franz to study a captured copy of an Anhkana, the Krill holy book, under Doctor Darden. The xenoanthropologists began to practice the rituals each day, sometimes led by Teleya, and soon they converted to the Krill religion.[1]
In July 2420, Franz and the others were captured by the USS Orville attempting to enter Krill space. While on the ship, Franz, Darden, and Karx took a keen interest in hearing from Helmsman Gordon Malloy about his time aboard the Yakar. The xenoanthropologists held Krill services in the ship's cargo hold.[1]
After the Orville entered Krill territory thanks to a computer virus planted by the scientists, Franz and the others were imprisoned in the Brig.[2]
Franz is presumed to have been sent to a Union prison.
Trivia
- Writer and executive producer David A. Goodman has stated that characters were based around actual movie stars, but has not identified who in order to avoid litigation.[3] It is believed Franz was based on actor Patton Oswalt.
