Vampire and Tara's companion/Sugar Daddy. He is described as having iron gray hair and mustache. Sookie thinks he must have been in his fifties or early sixties when he was turned into a vampire. She describes him as being “vigorous and very masculine” and having an Italian accent. In book 5, "Dead as a Doornail", he dumps Tara and puts her up as a debt payment to Mickey. He is played by actor James Frain in the HBO series, "True Blood". Franklin on the show seems to be an amalgamation of Mickey and Franklin Mott. On the show he is a crazy Vampire who works as a Vampire private investigation in the service of the King of Mississippi who fixates on Tara and discovers Bill kept a file on Sookie.
Franklin is killed by Jason Stackhouse
I will mourn him to my very marrow.
