- "Sometimes a helping hand is all you need. Francis Lanakila is that hand for everyone. Barging headfirst into danger is easy when you have the strength of a bull. He's just here for a good time."
- — Carver Butcher

Biography[]
Born in Oahu, Francis grew up surrounded by foods brought in from different cultures from all over the world. He later served in the 442nd Infantry Regiment and the 100th Infantry Battalion. At home, Francis was stationed at the Sand Island Detention Camp and was largely ignorant of the inhumane treatment suffered by Japanese-Americans until he eventually found out and was disgusted.
At some point around 1944, Carver Butcher recruited him as the leader of Task Force Trident and they set off to Caldera.
