Franklin Portman

Franklin Portman is the father of Jacob Portman and the son of Abraham Portman .

Early LifeEditar sección

Franklin was neglected by his father, Abraham, the most hurtful incident being that Abraham never showed up to take Franklin Trick-or-Treating, leaving Franklin crying in the driveway. What Franklin, his sister, and mother all assumed was that he was on a trip, when in reality he was hunting wights and hollows. Franklin's relationship with his father was further complicated when his sister discovered Emma's letters, and they assumed that Abraham was having an affair (which was not true).

RelationshipsEditar sección

Abraham PortmanEditar sección

Although he was his father, Franklin always had a difficult relationship with Abraham. This was because Abraham was absent for much of his life, out hunting hollows (though Franklin thought they were regular business and hunting trips, etc). While drinking at the pub, Franklin tells Jacob that he thinks Abe went on these trips to deal with the pressure of having to be a father, but not knowing how. He also tells Jacob that "even when he wasaround, it was like he wasn't."
