Franklin Avery was a Human male and a soldier in the Second World War. In 1945 he encountered a crashed Vulcan shuttle on the outskirts of a battlefield. He helped the pilot, Commander Skorr, to safety and was guided in repairing his shuttle. Agreeing to stay silent as Skorr left Earth, Franklin hoped that one day the knowledge of life elsewhere in the universe would unite humanity.
