[color=gold][center][h3]PERSONALITY [/h3] [/center][/color][hr]
Francisco is nothing if not passionate. A man driven from his youth to move beyond the working class neighbourhood he grew up in, he commits himself completely to whatever needs doing and grinds away until the task is done. Like many of Latin descent, he is friendly, outgoing, and generous to his family and friends. To his adversaries he can be petty, vengeful, and outright Machiavellian at times.   

Recently widowed and with two grown children living their own lives in Spain, Francisco has begun to get his business back on track. The last year has been spent largely in North America, beginning in the Canadian Rockies before moving south into the United States. [hr]

Francisco has made his considerable fortune by investing in real estate, hotels, and mountain adventure resorts. He owns property in thirteen countries and this is his first time looking into the US market. He grew up in Grenada, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, and was raised by a mother and father who now live in a considerable villa with a view of a city whose streets they once swept clean every morning by hand.
