Often absorbed into his work he neglects his own family, instead finding comfort in a mistress named Margarita. Taken aboard the Titans flagship Alexandria by [[Bask Om]], he and his wife were used as hostages in negotiations for the return of the Gundam Mk. II's captured by the AEUG. Escaping with the aide of Lieutenant [[Emma Sheen]], he pilots a Gundam Mk. II back to the AEUG ship [[Argama]]. While a refugee on the Argama he steals a Rick Dias and attempts to return to the Titans with the captured machine. Pursued by Argama's mobile suits he engages in combat against them, firing on his own son [[Kamille Bidan]] in the process. When the Rick Dias is damaged in the battle, Franklin attempts to escape only to be blown out further into space when the mobile suit explodes. ==Gallery== <gallery captionalign="left"> Tts05.jpg TCH025.jpg Img 1216672 37874481 1.jpeg Img 1216672 37874481 0.jpeg Z2012-7.jpg|in Zeta Gundam Define </gallery> {{MSZG characters}} {{Universal Century characters}} Templates used on the current version of this page: Template:!
