Canon
Frank is a son of Emma Vanderboom and a flower. As a child, he gets thrown in a well by his uncle Albert and is kept there for more than thirty years. After his cousin Rose rescues him from the well, he kills Albert. He, Rose and their cousin Leonard participate in the ritual leading to the reincarnation of William Vanderboom as Laura Vanderboom, during which he and Leonard are last seen covered with the roots of the family tree. It's unclear whether Frank and Leonard survived the ritual.
Fandom
Frank is one of the most popular characters in the Rusty Lake fandom. Fans praise his tragic backstory, his revenge on Albert and his possible nerdiness; his relationship with his cousins also get a lot of exploration.
