Francois le Blanc was a violinist in the orchestra at the Opera Populaire. He was acquainted with his fellow musicians, the stagehands, and some of the actors. Everyone who met him found him to be a rather pleasant person. Francois had a fondness for Christine Daae, one of the ballerinas. But faster than he can comprehend, Christine becomes trapped in a love triangle between a handsome young nobleman and a monster who lurks underneath the opera house. It is Francois' friendship that comforts Christine during this time, and makes her begin to wonder if there is another path she could choose. [The Phantom of the Opera] [Christine Daae X OMC]
