A loyal, kind hearted, latino. Extremely sweet if you’re on his good side. If you aren’t then prepare for the worst. A Francisco is a good friend and is always able to make you smile. Most definitely an extrovert and can make friends anywhere he goes. A Francisco can provide outstanding advice yet he never listens to it himself. He’s usually dark humoured and makes self ridiculing jokes to hide any pain he’s going through.
If you find a Francisco you better keep him around because they’re the best friends to have.
Representative Francis J. “Frank” Underwood (born July 26, 1959) is the House Majority Whip and anti-hero of the hit Netflix original "House of Cards". He is, on the outside, a Southern gentleman with a kind smile and a polite demeanor. He is in fact a ruthless, power-hungry politicking machine who regards nothing as important but his wife, Claire, and absolute power. Extremely vindictive and effective at getting his way, Francis is an ever-rising star in the upper echelons of the government.
