Hank Froli (Cataclysmic Gerosha)

Hank Froli is a minor character appearing in the Sims 4 comic Blood Over Water. He is most commonly associated with Monica Shelly. Most other attributes about him are unknown.

Relationships
Hank was a college student at Ferris State, studying automotive repairs. He was also an on-again, off-again booty call partner for Monica. He also had a relationship with his one friend Karla Wimberton, though she eventually ended that affair to pursue a man named Brendon Stihln.

In spite his closeness to Monica, Hank was never as close a friend to her as Aaron Stefflin, in spite the fact that unlike Hank, Aaron was never physically intimate with Monica. When Hank senses that Monica is getting serious with Vance Lingolin, he backs away from them - choosing to remain a good friend to Monica rather than persist in pursuing her as a lover. He becomes distracted in his studies for a time; but waits to hear news from her.

Monica calls for aid
Unfortunately, Hank doesn't get another call from Monica until the second evening of Gleeful-N'-Young making its rounds across the city. She pours out all her concerns on him, especially regarding how she is convinced Vance was murdered - and that she believes there's a massive cover-up. Hank has meanwhile been hearing rumors of women and children going missing from town.

Little do either of them realize that the raids by Gleeful-N'-Young have hit Morley, Stanwood, Howard City (where Betsy lives), and also parts of Grand Rapids. Yet, when Hank and Monica attempt to have sex in the shower and Monica is unable to get properly in the mood, Hank deduces that it may be because she is too fearful of what will happen next. The two of them stop and get dressed, only for Hank to look out the living room window and see armed men in black armor going door-to-door across the neighborhood.

Death
Hank urges Monica to hide in the basement, in her hidden compartment in the wall in Annabelle's bedroom / play room. He attempts to call the police - only he gets no response. The Meceola Dispatch Center was one of the targets, and all staff and operators have already been killed. Hank attempts to arm himself; but he's quickly overpowered by rifle fire into the home when Gleeful-N'-Young operatives force entry. The goons raid the house, and they find evidence of Monica's lifestyle. They also ransack Annabelle's bedroom; but they don't find the hidden wall compartment.

Monica crawls out of her hiding place after she's certain that the armed troops have left her home. However, she then calls Aaron to inform him that she has a body to clean up. In spite the lack of a local dispatch, police begin searching the area for victims, having become aware that Meceola Dispatch has been hit. Monica rushes out to inform police of what happened. To her dismay, they place her under arrest, assuring her that "the investigation won't take long." Monica is released from jail three days later, with no charges filed against her.

Given that Hank made himself a martyr to protect her and her investigation, this only makes Monica that much more determined to discover the truth. However, it would be Aaron that would finally collect enough evidence and make a big enough impact on Chris to turn the tide.

Trivia

 * Hank plays a small-but-important role in the lives of Monica Shelly and Karla Wimberton both.
 * Ironically, he doesn't live long enough to see his two former romantic interests team up to investigate the disappearance of Annabelle, some time after the Sleet Mountain raid by the EPA and FBI occurs.
