Overview
Francis served his days in Christian outreach, helping others and spreading the word of God. It was a good life, fulfilling and meaningful, until things changed. While in Redmond one night, he was ambushed and drained by unknown infected. Left for dead, he rose again, changed. Horrified with his new nature and scared of what was to come, he managed to push past his shame and tell his brother, another mage of the Church, what had happened.
The brother, Augustus, wasn't content to let this stand. Wanting his brother to be free of his curse, he delved deep into forbidden magical archives, searching for something, anything, that promised a means. He succeeded, eventually, something he should have left buried. As he delved into the artifact, he was taken in by a being beyond his ken, and Augustus's mental state degenerated. After a violent confrontation with Francis, he headed off alone to finish his mission. Francis, worried, gathered a team of runners, pooling his life savings to hopefully save his family.
As events unfolded, his brother ultimately did not survive, killed by the runners sent to save him, an unfortunate but necessary reaction as the team fought for their life. The team mainly went their own ways after this, but Swerve, one of the runners, saw a kindred spirit. Another infected, one abandoned and alone after the change, just like her. She needed to help him. Swerve kept in contact with him, and eventually pestered him enough that he followed her to the Night Throne. While the work and environment might be unpleasant, especially for someone with his moral character, it would provide a refuge, a place where he could find food and a home safe from hunters.
Francis was desperate enough to join in the end. While still deeply conflicted about his nature and place in the world, life is hard as a vampire. Sometimes, the choices need to survive are too. For now, he's simply trying to get by and to preserve what's left of his faith and humanity.
