Born in <a href="/wiki/Springfield,_Missouri" title="Springfield, Missouri">Springfield, Missouri</a>, on June 14, 1938, with a <a href="/wiki/Cleft_lip_and_palate" class="mw-redirect" title="Cleft lip and palate">cleft lip and palate</a>, Dolarhyde is abandoned by his mother and cared for in an orphanage until the age of five. He is then taken in by his grandmother, who subjects him to severe emotional and physical <a href="/wiki/Child_abuse" title="Child abuse">abuse</a>, at one point threatening to castrate him after he wets his bed. Shortly afterwards, he begins <a href="/wiki/Animal_cruelty" class="mw-redirect" title="Animal cruelty">torturing animals</a>. </p><p>After his grandmother becomes afflicted with <a href="/wiki/Dementia" title="Dementia">dementia</a>, Dolarhyde is turned over to the care of his estranged mother and her husband in <a href="/wiki/St._Louis,_Missouri" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Louis, Missouri">St. Louis</a>; he is further abused by this family. After his stepsiblings smash his face into a bathroom mirror, Dolarhyde hangs his stepsister's cat and is sent back to the orphanage. After being caught breaking into a house at age 17, he enlists in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">United States Army</a> rather than serve prison time. While on his tour in Japan and neighboring countries, he learns how to develop film and receives <a href="/wiki/Cosmetic_surgery" class="mw-redirect" title="Cosmetic surgery">cosmetic surgery</a> for his cleft palate. </p><p>After his honorable discharge, Dolarhyde returns to St. Louis and gets a job with the Gateway Corporation as the production chief of their home movies division. He also takes up <a href="/wiki/Bodybuilder" class="mw-redirect" title="Bodybuilder">bodybuilding</a> and becomes exceptionally strong; it is mentioned in the novel that even in middle age, Dolarhyde could have successfully competed in regional bodybuilding competitions, and at one point successfully <a href="/wiki/Clean_and_press" title="Clean and press">cleans and presses</a> 300 pounds (which approaches record-setting status for the late 1970s). </p><p>In his early forties, Dolarhyde sees the <a href="/wiki/William_Blake" title="William Blake">William Blake</a> painting <i><a href="/wiki/The_Great_Red_Dragon_and_the_Woman_Clothed_in_Sun" class="mw-redirect" title="The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun">The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun</a></i>, which gives voice to his alternate personality. Under the influence of "The Red Dragon", Dolarhyde murders two families in two months, on or near a <a href="/wiki/Full_moon" title="Full moon">full moon</a>. Dolarhyde chooses his victims through the home movies that he edits. In the days leading up to a full moon, Dolarhyde kills or injures the family pet and then spends nights in their backyard, watching the moon. On the night of the full moon, Dolarhyde breaks into the homes and shoots his victims or slits their throats in their beds before ritualistically posing them around the master bed and engaging in <a href="/wiki/Necrophilia" title="Necrophilia">necrophilic</a> acts with the mothers' corpses. He also implants shards of mirror glass into his victims' eyes so he can see his own "transformation" into the Dragon. </p><p>To facilitate the process of "becoming", Dolarhyde previously traveled to <a href="/wiki/Hong_Kong" title="Hong Kong">Hong Kong</a> in order to have a rendering of the Blake dragon tattooed across his back and has two sets of <a href="/wiki/Dentures" title="Dentures">false teeth</a> made. One set is normal for his day-to-day life, while the other – based on a mold of his grandmother's deformed teeth – is ritualistically incorporated into the dragon persona he assumes during his killings. Due to the nocturnal nature of the murders and Dolarhyde's tendency to bite the corpses of his victims with the malformed dentures, the <a href="/wiki/Tabloid_journalism" title="Tabloid journalism">tabloid</a> <i>The National Tattler</i> nicknames him "The Tooth Fairy", a monicker he hates. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">FBI</a> <a href="/wiki/Offender_profiling" title="Offender profiling">profiler</a> <a href="/wiki/Will_Graham_(character)" title="Will Graham (character)">Will Graham</a> is asked to return from early retirement to aid in capturing the "Tooth Fairy". Graham had caught Dr. <a href="/wiki/Hannibal_Lecter" title="Hannibal Lecter">Hannibal Lecter</a>, a psychiatrist and <a href="/wiki/Human_cannibalism" title="Human cannibalism">cannibalistic</a> serial killer whom Dolarhyde idolizes, and to whom he sends a "fan letter" describing his murders. Graham visits Lecter in the Baltimore State Forensic Hospital for the Criminally Insane, hoping that the doctor would be able to help identify the killer or at least assist in creating a psychological profile. Following this meeting, Lecter "helps" by sending Dolarhyde Graham's address in code with the note, "Save yourself – kill them all." FBI Agent-in-Charge <a href="/wiki/Jack_Crawford_(character)" title="Jack Crawford (character)">Jack Crawford</a> intercepts the message in time to warn Graham's family and the local sheriff. </p><p>Dolarhyde becomes obsessed with coverage of his murders in <i>The National Tattler</i> and collects clippings about Lecter's arrest and trial, about Graham, and about his murders. In an attempt to provoke Dolarhyde out of hiding, Graham gives an interview to <a href="/wiki/Freddy_Lounds" title="Freddy Lounds">Freddy Lounds</a> of <i>The Tattler</i>, in which he says that "The Tooth Fairy" is <a href="/wiki/Erectile_dysfunction" title="Erectile dysfunction">impotent</a>, <a href="/wiki/Homosexuality" title="Homosexuality">homosexual</a>, and possibly the product of <a href="/wiki/Incest" title="Incest">incest</a>; he also implies that Lecter is offended that the killer considers himself Lecter's equal. The interview enrages Dolarhyde, who kidnaps Lounds, glues him to an antique wheelchair, intimidates him into recanting his article on tape, and then bites his lips off. Dolarhyde then sets Lounds on fire and rolls him down an incline into <i>The Tattler</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s parking garage. </p><p>Dolarhyde falls in love with a <a href="/wiki/Blindness" class="mw-redirect" title="Blindness">blind</a> co-worker named Reba McClane. The relationship initially quells his murderous impulses, but they soon come back, stronger than ever. Desperate to stop killing and keep Reba safe from the Dragon, Dolarhyde flies to New York, where he goes to see the original Blake watercolor at the <a href="/wiki/Brooklyn_Museum" title="Brooklyn Museum">Brooklyn Museum</a> and devours it, believing that doing so would destroy his alter ego. This plan fails, however; his ingestion of the painting only makes the Dragon angrier. In a final effort to save Reba, Dolarhyde attempts to kill himself in a motel bathroom by hanging himself from the shower rod, but the noose breaks before he can suffocate. </p><p>The FBI and police investigations have so far found little result as the next full moon, and murders, are approaching. <a href="/wiki/Trace_evidence" title="Trace evidence">Trace evidence</a> has led to dead ends, the killer's partial fingerprint has no match on file, and authorities can find no connection between the targeted families. Eventually Graham realizes that the killer must have had access to the families' home movies, using details from the film to plan entry to the family homes. Both families' film was processed at the same facility. From this fact, police eventually narrow down on Dolarhyde as the suspect. </p><p>Now completely in thrall to the Dragon and aware of the investigation closing in on him, Dolarhyde plans to kill Reba and himself by setting his house on fire with her in it. He relents at the last minute, however, and frees her. Hearing a shotgun blast, McClane feels around Dolarhyde's burning living room and discovers what appears to be his dead body, which is incinerated in the subsequent blaze. However, Dolarhyde actually shot the corpse of a gas station attendant who had earlier offended him by leering at McClane, and whom he had kidnapped to stage his own disappearance. Police rescue McClane from the burning house. She is traumatized by her experience, but Graham reassures her that her influence helped restrain Dolarhyde's murderous impulses and probably saved lives. </p><p>Dolarhyde is initially believed to have killed himself, but <a href="/wiki/Forensic_science" title="Forensic science">forensic analysis</a> of the crime scene eventually reveals that the corpse's fingerprints don't match his. Dolarhyde travels to Graham's home in Florida, attacks Graham, and stabs him in the face. Graham's wife Molly intercepts Dolarhyde and shoots him dead. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Film_adaptations">Film adaptations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Francis_Dolarhyde&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Film adaptations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Francisdolarhydemanhunter.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3c/Francisdolarhydemanhunter.jpg/220px-Francisdolarhydemanhunter.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3c/Francisdolarhydemanhunter.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="325" data-file-height="217" /></a><figcaption>Tom Noonan as "<b>Francis Dollarhyde</b>" in <i>Manhunter</i>.
