Biography[]
Early Life[]
- "I planned it for weeks. Waited for the perfect moment. Looked forward to it. And when it was over and he was under that car, screaming like an animal in a trap, my only thought was, 'You idiot, Frank.' You couldn't even kill him right."
- —Frank Delfino about his father[src]
After he and his wife adopted a child named Frank Delfino, Mr. Delfino was strict with Frank but not abusive and his harsh punishments ultimately lead to Frank conspiring to kill him. When Frank was 13, Frank executed his plan and ran his father down and left him suffering under the car with his only thought being that he hadn't done it right as he hadn't killed him. Mr. Delfino however, never truly recovered after the injury and was subsequently paralyzed from the waist down. Around 2004, Frank was approached by Sam Keating after being recommended by Beverly, Frank's aunt. Both Sam and Annalise managed to get Frank out on parole.
