Frank Newell

Francis Mark Newell is the second recruited member of the Hideout. Neither he nor anyone else knows much about his past.

Physical Description
Frank is decribed as having the constitution of a weasel. He has messy hair, a shade of bronze in colour, and narrowed brown eyes. He walks in an animal-like manner, and always looks dirty due to the fact that he never cleans himself. He has a very lanky build, but when he stands up straight, he reaches 5'9".

He dresses like all the other boys at the Hideout, in the traditional Old Selby rags.

Personality
Frank isn't exactly switched-on in the head, and he doesn't know how to communicate properly. Catherine believes he behaves this way due to his past - the only thing people are certain of, that he saw his parents murdered. He had only one year of schooling when he was young, before he became orphaned. Therefore he is illiterate, and mainly uses profanities in his speech. It is considered normal of him.

Appearances
