Frank Elgyn (Earth-5875)

"Hey, son, I'll give you my authorization code. It's E-A-T-M-E."

- - Frank Elgyn

Frank Elgyn was the captain of the smuggling vessel Betty and its crew. Under the directive of the Office of Naval Intelligence, Elgyn and his mercenaries delivered numerous convicts to the UNSC aboard the top-secret research vessel UNSC Auriga, which led to a violent xenomorph outbreak, where he died early on.

Early life
Frank Elgyn was born on January 21th, 2529, on Roost, the son of a poor housewife and an Insurrectionist. When he was eighteen years old, he met and married with Sabra Hillard. The two soon became criminals, and took command of the smuggled tourism vessel Almayer's Folly, which Elgyn renamed the Betty after his deceased mother. The duo eventually started recruiting many outlaws through the Outer Colonies through the First Contact War, although keeping a low profile from the UNSC. Among their recruits were Ron Johner, Gary Christie, and Dom Vriess.

In 2549, Frank recruited their last crew member, the Auton synthetic Call, in Angoulême, Oban, after Call saved their lives while they escaped from SWAT forces, where she interfaced with the Betty and fled the scene. The couple saw value on her synthetic capability and engineering prowess, and soon hired her to work for them.

ONI job
Despite his status as a criminal, Elgyn developed close ties with the UNSC Marine Corps' General Martin Perez, who, in 2561, hired him and his crew, in the behest of the Office of Naval Intelligence, to deliver numerous convicts aboard the secret research vessel UNSC Auriga, which was orbiting Pluto. After setting a slipspace course towards the system, Sabra piloted the Betty towards the Auriga, docking it on the ship and delivering its cargo. He then requested Sabra to maintain the ship's thrust so they could give the UNSC "a little scare". Once the crew was allowed to enter the Auriga, Frank moved to General Perez' office, where he would settle the payment for the captive convicts he had delivered. After receiving a large sum of credits, he spent the next hours having sex with Hillard.

"You lie to me now, Synth... I will turn you off and leave you here to rot, you understand me?"
