Biography
During the Battle of Mombasa, at the Battle of Earth, Franklin Accardo was sent by Commissioner Norman Kinsler to the New Mombasa Data Center, alongside other three officers to ensure the death of Dr. Daniel Endesha by argon, kill the alien that was inside the core of Vergil, and retrieve Vergil's core data. However, most of them were killed by the yanme'e beneath which had mounted their hives. By the time ODST Lance Corporal William "Ronin" Lawton arrived at the center, he was the only survivor. Because Vergil did not trust him, it locked all data stacks and some doors to prevent him from going further, but once Lawton arrived, Accardo was also able to progress.

Once he reached a frozen section of the data center, Accardo told Ronin to await while he entered the room to check "personal issues". Knowing what he meant by finding the audio logs spread through New Mombasa, the ODST followed, discovering Accardo inspecting for the corpse of Dr. Endesha. Caught off guard, the officer revealed his goal to Lawton, and because that he knew it, he was not allowed to live. Turning against Ronin, Accardo was killed by the much better equipped and skilled ODST in self-defense, leading the Superintendet to say "CRIME DOESN'T PAY. GOOD CITIZENS DO THEIR PART"
