Biography

History

Franz was one of Pegasus top card designer's who was envious of Chumley Huffington's talents, seeing as his own designs are looked down upon because, as Pegasus declares, the cards Franz designed focused too much on power.

Out of frustration and anger he decides to steal the only copy of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" that Industrial Illusions had kept for testing purposes.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

After doing so he snuck his way into the Genex Tournament, and manages to use Ra to defeat and critically injure two random opponents.

Later on, Pegasus and Jaden Yuki encounter Franz, who challenges the former to a Duel, but it is the latter who ultimately accepts. Jaden realizes that Franz is able to Summon "Ra" without having to decipher its hieratic text, as well as control "Ra", albeit against its will, due to a Spell Card he designed, called "Mound of the Bound Creator".

Franz disrespected "Ra" as when he was merged with "Ra", he separated and with "Ra" and gain 4500 Life Points]]. This left "Ra" with 0 ATK, leading to its destruction.

Ultimately, Franz is defeated by Jaden, who uses "Necro Illusion" to use "Ra" against him, despite neither having the knowledge of Egyptian hieratic text nor "Mound of the Bound Creator" in play.

In the end, Pegasus consoles Franz's defeat, and Franz agrees to return The Winged Dragon of Ra and return to Industrial Illusions as a loyal employee.

During his only appearance in the series, Franz runs a Winged Dragon of Ra Deck, which, like Yami Marik from the Battle City arc in the previous series, focuses on Summoning "Ra" and using its many effects. However, the "Ra" card that he uses is a copy that Industrial Illusions re-created for research, as its prototype—which Pegasus stated contained the spirit of Ra itself—was destroyed at the end of the previous series.
