* BadassInCharge: A high up leader of the colonists during the war.

* NiceHat: She's seen wearing one in each appearance.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Her close friendship with Ichabod is the sole reason she is targeted by The Weeping Lady.

* DirtyOldMan: Much like in reality, Franklin here is depicted as something of a flirt.

* BadassBeard: A blond one, similar to Ichabod's own.

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: After the small twist in the first episode that he's working for a demon, he's seen frequently in other episodes.

* ArbitraryScepticism: He's perfectly happy with using sanctified stained glass to contain the betrayal-inducing power of a Tyrian shekel, but dismisses the idea of the Pied Piper being a supernatural menace until he fights it himself.

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: After being raised as a zombie, refuses to give Crane tithe "satisfaction" of killing him and steps into a rain of Greek Fire.

* {{Badass}}: In RealLife and in the show.

* {{Badass}}: Ruthless sure, but next to fearless.

* TheChessmaster: While he was TheObiWan to Abbie, he was secretly also TheObiWan to her sister Jenny, orchestrating things so that they'd eventually have to work together and begin to mend the rift in their relationship.

* TheObiWan: To Abbie and to Jenny.

* BornInTheWrongCentury: Inverted, in the same way as Crane, in episode 2x18 ("Tempus Fugit"). Arguably TruthInTelevision; for his time Franklin held very progressive views with regard to both women (possibly because [[ReallyGetsAround he knew so many]]) and black people (from having his beliefs in white supremacy challenged in the 1760s to calling openly for the abolition of slavery in 1785). Which is no doubt why he greets Abbie more with delight than confusion. Well...[[FairCop partly]] [[DirtyOldMan why]].
* CoolOldGuy: It's Benjamin Franklin, after all.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Of course.
