Jordan Ralph Franchitti Senior, Second Baron Franchitti, was a Manticoran citizen native to the planet Sphinx.
He came from one of the original colonist families, and was among the first children born on Sphinx. By 1520 PD, he had three children, Ralph, Trevor and Trudy. He looked down on those who came to the Star Kingdom in the later colonial waves, and did not believe that treecats were a sentient species. (SK1, SK2)
