Frenchie is one of the main characters in the Amazon series The Boys and a member of the vigilante group, The Boys.
A drug-dabbling, gunrunning jack-of-all-trades, Frenchie’s skillsets are an invaluable resource to Butcher and The Boys, but his impulsive decisions are an eternal source of frustration to Mother's Milk. Frenchie’s got a history as a killer-for-hire — and those jobs, and the human faces behind them, have always stayed with him, like scars. But he’ll rediscover his humanity when he finds a woman locked in a cage in a basement who’s part of a larger mystery, and Frenchie is the only one of The Boys who’s able to connect with her.

Re-joining The Boys
Frenchie is a former member of the original Boys, headed by Grace Mallory. However, after The Boys disbanded, he met Cherie, starting a relationship with her. Frenchie is approached by Butcher after Billy and Hughie kidnap Translucent. Butcher asks for Frenchie's help in hiding Translucent from The Seven, much to his initial dismay, he eventually agrees to help them.
After Translucent's death at the hands of Hughie, Butcher brings back Mother's Milk against Frenchie's wishes. Both M.M and Frenchie refuse to work with each other due to past events, but are able to reconcile their differences as they monitor Popclaw and A-Train in Get Some.
Relationship with The Female
After following A-Train to an underground basement, Frenchie connects with The Female, a small woman locked in a cage. He is at first wary of the woman, who has been the subject of Compound V experiments and now has extraordinary abilities, however the two grow closer when she saves him from Black Noir in The Female of the Species.
The two grow closer, with Frenchie often being the only one who can talk to, and calm, The Female. He is saddened to learn about her history and her brother's kidnapping, offering to take her back to look for him, however she declines.
In comics
In the comic series, Frenchie goes by the name The Frenchman and is one of the two powerhouses of the Boys — the other being Female of the Species. He is described as having a strong connection with both Female and Billy, however, he has killer instincts and his anger is hard to reign in once provoked. Similar to Female of the Species, the Frenchman's use of Compound V has given him abilities such as increased strength, smell and increased durability.
