A ruined, one-handed crawler-killer who ambushed Carl on floor one and now, drunk and broken, gifts him the cursed ring as 'revenge.'
Frank Q, Crawler #324,119, is the crawler-killer who — with his ex-wife and partner Maggie My — murdered and looted fellow crawlers and ambushed Carl and Princess Donut on the first floor, losing his right hand to Carl's booby-trapped rat. A former Customs Enforcement officer (Maggie a Seattle detective), his gilded backstory was exposed as lies on The Maestro's show. Carl finds him again on The Iron Tangle, a lagging level-17 Night Elf Blood Assassin, drunk and rotting at the Desperado Club bar at station 41, hollowed by grief.
Frank confesses the full horror: he FORCED his daughter Yvette to wear the Night Wyrm's Ring and mark Carl, and that Maggie killed Yvette because the ring's healing-lockout left her in unending pain while Carl lived. His "revenge" is to give Carl that same ruinous ring — hoping it corrupts him too. Divorced from Maggie since floor two, abandoned by every party for telling the truth, he waits to die at the bar, having failed the one person who was good.
A dark-purple, eggplant-skinned Night Elf with long black hair and fanged incisors, a still-recognizable rough face, deep-ringed sleepless eyes, a missing right hand (a stump), in a flowing black jacket and his old Seahawks beanie; reeking of perfume and stale alcohol.
A broken returning antagonist who unloads his cursed ring and the tragic truth of Yvette's death onto Carl.
