Frankis

 was a royal guard on Peladon. On the evening Pelleas became king, he was on duty at the Citadel of Peladon and unexpectedly encountered the new king. During a brief and generally amiable discussion with Pelleas, he said that the monarch's mother would have been proud of her.

Frankin's friend Nardo arrived and teased him about his social error in mentioning the king's believed mother. (AUDIO: The Bride of Peladon)
