Franz

Franz is one of Hans' twelve older brothers. He appears in "Rocky Road".

Before the Curse
Hans is seen sat by a fire, reading a scroll. "Hans," his older brother, Jurgen says, "more wood on the fire. It's freezing." Hans tells his brother that he's busy and to do it himself. Jurgen, feeling insulted, asks, "Now is that anyway to treat your big brother? Maybe I'll throw you on instead." Hans stands up, telling Jurgen that he'd be wise not to insult the future king of Arendelle. There is a moment of silence before all twelve brothers burst into laughter. Franz asks, "Don't you think it's a little early to be sizing the crown, Hans?" "Remember what happened the last time?" Jurgen adds on. Hans, clearly irritated, states that he remembers what happened the last time, but the last time he didn't have this. The young prince holds up the scroll he was looking at - a picture of an urn. The twelve brothers seem surprised.

Later on, Elsa and Kristoff walk through the cave, the latter holding a torch to guide them. "There's the urn," Kristoff says, pointing to a silver urn that rests on a ledge in a rock. "See? I told you we could beat Hans the old fashioned way," the ice merchant says. Elsa appears impressed; Kristoff adds on, "Now let's destroy it." "Do you mind if I use my magic now, or would you rather hack away at it with your ice ax?" Elsa replies. Kristoff jokingly says his hacking arm is tired, stating that the Ice Queen should do the honors. Elsa smiles, thanking him. Elsa goes and picks up the urn; Kristoff drops his torch into the torch holder. Elsa examines the urn when magical writing appears in a language unknown. "I think these are ancient Fotoc ruins," Elsa exclaims, "I can't read it. What do you think it says?" she asks, holding the urn out to Kristoff. He doesn't take it, however, saying, "Uhh, dangerous urn, keep away. Just a guess." He then asks if they can just destroy it and get out of there already. "What if it can tell me there are others like me. I'm the only one in my family born with magic, I'd like to know why." "Elsa, I know you want answers, but right now we can get rid of that urn for your own good, and Arendelle's." Elsa ignores him, stating that she wants to know what it says and she may never get another chance. "Elsa, you have to trust me on this," Kristoff says, trying to take the urn, but Elsa refuses. However, footsteps are heard walking through the cave. "Someone's coming," Kristoff exclaims, "Hans." Elsa and Kristoff turn and see Hans entering, followed by three of his brothers. "The urn," Hans demands, "get it." The three older brothers draw their swords to attack. Elsa uses her magic, however, to shoot ice at two of them - Franz and Jurgen - stopping them from nearing her. A third brother pulls out his sword to attack, but Kristoff defends the Queen. Kristoff kicks the brother to the ground, but Hans points his sword at the back of Kristoff's neck. "Enough witch, unless you want your sister to be a widow," the young prince threatens. Kristoff's smart-mouth replies that technically Anna wouldn't be a widow, as they are not married yet. This annoys Hans, who pokes Kristoff's neck, causing a stinging pain. "Hand it over," Hans says to Elsa, referring to the urn, "now." Elsa doesn't know what to do.

Elsa has yet to turn over the urn to Hans, who has a sword pointed at the back of Kristoff's neck. "This is the man she is to marry?" Hans asks with a chuckle. Kristoff replies that at least her never tried to kill her. Hans defends himself, "I didn't try to kill her, I left her to die." "Important distinction," Kristoff sarcastically replies. Hans says that he'd be happy to kill him, however. Elsa pleads for him not to hurt him, so Hans demands the urn. "Elsa, don't. It doesn't matter what happens to me, just don't let him have it," Kristoff says. Hans prepares to kill Kristoff, but Elsa stops him, agreeing to give him the urn in return for Kristoff's freedom. Elsa apologizes to Kristoff for not listening to him and destroying it when she had the chance. Kristoff reminds Elsa that if Hans has the urn and traps the Ice Queen then Arendelle is doomed. "No, it's isn't. I didn't trust you before which is why I have to trust you now. You have to find Anna and save Arendelle," Elsa says. Kristoff sighs; Hans motions for one of his brothers to grab Kristoff while making the exchange with Elsa, who frees a trapped Franz and Jurgen. Hans takes the urn, a wicked smile appears on his face. Hans asks his brothers if they want to make fun of him now. "I showed them, now I'll show you," the evil prince says, turning back to Elsa, "You don't belong in this world, you don't belong anywhere. Which is why I'm going to put you somewhere, where it's like you don't even exist." Elsa's eyes begin to water; Kristoff watches in fear. Hans opens the urn, dumping out the liquid that was inside. As it makes its way to Elsa's feet, Hans goes to say the citizens won't care when he takes over Arendelle, as they'll finally have a real ruler. Elsa watches the liquid splash. "Not a monster like you," Hans adds on; Elsa is in tears. Everyone begins to notice the liquid from the urn, however, thus making everyone nervous. It begins taking a human form. Once the transformation is complete, the liquid from the urn is revealed to be none other than the Snow Queen. "No one thought to check if it was empty?" Kristoff asks. Hans asks what's going on, and who is the woman. "From what I just heard, I think you would call me a monster," the Snow Queen replies before using her magic to freeze Hans. The other three princes run away, horrified. "You, you saved me," Elsa says to the Snow Queen. "I know from experience, no one should be trapped in that urn," she replies, "especially someone as special as you." The Snow Queen then notices Kristoff, asking who he is. Elsa assures the woman that it's okay, as he is her friend. Kristoff smiles.
