Trivia
- โDue to Francis' middle initial being "A", he may be a reference to Albert Gallagher, who was present at the assassination of President William McKinley.
- โFrancis shares a head model with Herbert Moon, Clyde Beadle, Clay Willet, Arnett Buchanan, Willie Oats, Reid Kinsey, Harris Carruthers, Virgil Beasley, Luther Brines.. He also has the same outfit as Androcles Ott.
- โHis name may also be a reference to Vernon Francis Gallagher, a character in the British drama series Shameless.
- โHe and Cyril Purvis both have a phrenology bust in their offices, though it is unknown if they actually practice it.
- โHis clothes may be partially inspired by Gallagher from the comedic duo "Gallagher and Shean", as both wear the same attire except Mr. Gallagher dons a pith helmet instead of a top hat.
- โNigel West Dickens' Elixir can be seen on the shelves in his shop, though it is unavailable for purchase. This further supports the assertion that he is an incompetent or fake physician.
- โIf the player kills Francis while he is hunting an animal in West Elizabeth it won't count as a shopkeeper kill and his office in Thieves' Landing will continue to operate as if nothing happened.
- โInterestingly, Francis isn't the only NPC in Thieves' Landing to talk about a man who apparently defecated himself, as Warren Dillard will also bring this subject up when playing Blackjack.
