Backstory
Frankie is the son of a cop and a successful business woman, coming from a rich family that thrived on having a good reputation. Ever since he was a child, Franklin enjoyed dancing and playing various instruments. He had the soul of a rebel which put him in a bad spot with his parents who kept comparing him to his older and successful businessman brother, Mikey. But he Frankie could never imagine himself working a 9 to 5 and selling his soul to the machine. He's always viewed his brother as a snake oil salesman who preys on the poor and gullible and he would rather die than be like him. Instead, Frankie wanted to inspire people with his music. Despite being popular in his younger years, and having a band back then, Frankie's musical career didn't take off as he was struggling to find someone to take him and his band seriously, and eventually, the band members grew apart and disbanded. But Frankie didn't give up. His parents, however, had about enough of him, the loud music, and his rebellious nature, and eventually Frankie was kicked out of his home. For a while, he made ends meet playing on the streets until he was able to get a job fixing cars and motorbikes at a garage.
While at work one day, a rather large and intimidating looking man brought his ride to the garage to get fixed. Frankie recognized him, it was his former lover Maximus, a man he had been in an on/off relationship with a decade prior. There he stood, tall, and much more broader than Frankie remembered him to be. A rainbow tattoo on his chest that Frankie found ironic seeing that what made their relationship fail was Max's unwillingness to accept his own homosexuality. But he changed, or so he told the musician. He wanted a second chance, and stupidly? Frankie agreed. Max had told him that he was now a businessman and he was very successful so he lived a luxurious life. It wasn't until one day, Max barged into the garage and confessed to Frankie that he wasn't a businessman, and he was, in fact, the leader of the Legionary, a criminal gang that had control over the area where Frankie's garage was and to Max's surprise, Frankie didn't care. Everyone is trying to get by and if Max could make cash being a gang leader then so be it. In all honesty, Frankie preferred Max as a gang boss over Max the businessman.

After they had kicked him out, Frankie cut off contact with them.
Mikey
Being compared to his brother constantly has made Frankie detest Mike. He often saw his brother as a dishonorable man who scammed people out of their money, and yes, even though that was what he did, to Mikey, it was just a game that he was good at so why not make money out of it? Unlike his parents though, Mikey did try to reach out to Frank after he was kicked out and even offered to help him financially but Frank refused to accept his aid and wanted nothing to do with his brother or their family.
