Frank (Daleks in Manhattan)
Frank was a young Tennessean who lived in the New York City Hooverville during the Great Depression.
Biography
Frank was the oldest of an unknown number of siblings. He had come to New York largely because his father had died and his mother was unable to feed all her children on her own.
He was well regarded by the people who lived in the Hooverville, and a great admirer of its leader, Solomon. His main source of income during the Depression was through low-paying construction jobs offered by Mr. Diagoras. Most of these jobs revolved around the construction of the Empire State Building. On one occasion he, Solomon, the Doctor and Martha were required to go down to sewers and correct a tunnel collapse. Along the way, he was separated from the rest of the party when Pig slaves grabbed him and pulled him back into the sewers. Solomon and the Doctor tried in vain to rescue him, but he was believed lost.
However, Frank was merely detained for the Final Experiment and was ultimately liberated. After the Daleks were defeated, Frank was able to convince the residents of Hooverville to give Lazlo a home, even though he can't promise people will look at him because of his pig-like features, but he can promise him some peace.
