João Franco

A Portuguese Noble Bearing the Pride of the Franco Family

A Portuguese noble who embarks on an adventure across the oceans to carry out the Franco family’s will.

Born as the son of Portuguese Duke Leon Franco, João Franco spent his youth in Lisboa, where he was educated in various fields according to family tradition. João dreamed of following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps to become a seafaring adventurer, but Leon always insisted that João was not ready yet. In 1522, the duke finally announced that the time had come. He set João on a quest to find the legendary Kingdom of Prester John and declared that João would be treated as a commoner until he completed his mission.

Freed from his cage at last, João set sail to the dangerous, mysterious New World, with his trusty aide Rocco Alemkel accompanying him as an experienced mate. Joined by several other mates, including Enrico Malione, a priest who wished to travel to Jipangu as a missionary, João set sail and began his journey to becoming an experienced admiral, until one day, he was ambushed by a pirate named Catalina Erantzo.

Thankfully, Rocco was there to save the day, and João managed to escape to safety. With Catalina relentlessly chasing him as her sworn enemy for reasons unknown to him, João continued his journey to find the Kingdom of Prester John. But alas, despite years of exploration, the Kingdom of Prester John has yet to reveal itself to the young noble, staying true to its nickname of the "Legendary Kingdom"...

Will João be able to make peace with Catalina? Will he ever find the Kingdom of Prester John to prove himself to the world as a proud Franco explorer?
