Frank Masseur

Frank Masseur (1886-19??) was an Austro-Hungarian soldier of Polish descent, who in 1912 arrived on the shores of the Island Empire by an accident, and realized that he has to stop the evil ruler of the island - Kaizok Pica.

He is the player character in Mystery of Tyskie Islands.

Before Tyskie Islands
Frank Masseur was born in 1886 in Tichau, and joined the Austro-Hungarian army as an adult. In 1912, he was one of the Austro-Hungarians sent on a mission to bribe the African country of Guinea against France. However, the ship he was aboard of was struck by a storm, which was so powerful that it somehow hurled the ship into Oceania.

Washed Ashore
The ship got torn into tiny shreds, alongside all of the crew - Masseur however managed to survive, thrown into a small cave, where after a while of being unconcious, he finally managed to snap back into reality, and armed with his Revolver started to look for aid.

What he found however, was Island Empire Revolta, and eerie, abandoned villages filled with notes describing how the dictator of the country, Pica, is obsessed with eugenics, and military power. He decided to go forward, finding more clues, and soon arriving at the Digging Rig where he faced The Hammer.

Nightfall
When the darkness consumed the Pacific, Frank moved onto another island to purge it from Revolta, later entering it's deep and vast Dead Marsh, where he found the Revolta Swamp Headquarters. There, he faced Oswald Grisworth.

Pica's Death
Pica was not prepared for Frank Masseur's arrival at the abandoned Chocolate Factory, and was killed, falling motionless into an open water pipe that led to his burial at the sea. In the same year a new Kaizok was elected, and the nation entered a new age of peace and love.

Future
Masseur himswelf went back to Austria-Hungary, found a wife, had a child, grandchildren and - quite strangely - emmigrated to the Middle East, to the place that would later be known as Israel after both World Wars to find peace at least.

Trivia

 * Frank Masseur is actually portrated by a character from the Tyskie beer commercials - Mazur, an Austro-Hungarian soldier. His friend and sidekick, Mecenas, can actually be seen on the title screen, but he's very hard to notice at first glance.
