The Great Red Dragon
Francis Dolarhyde was Tom Harris's character in his novel "The red dragon".
He had an abusive childhood, threatened by his grandmother, taken in by his mother and stepfather, abused by them also. Not accepted and seen as an outcast child, he was taken in a children's home.
In his 30s he worked on body building, increasing his physical strength above average, he was strong enough to throw a man across the room with his bare hands.
Making him a very daunting individual.
In his late 40s he developed an obsession towards a painting by William Blake, named "The Great Red Dragon, and the woman clothed with/in the sun."
Painted in the 19th century as a biblical character.
His obsession...
