How can we say how interesting he is or is not as a character when we haven't had the chance to see him do anything?

That is precisely my point, we have not seen him do anything in the background, we have not seen reactions to all the stuff that has been going on, we have not been told of his deeds, the closest thing we got was 'has been recruited by the EIC' which does not have any agency. As far as we have seen he is a giant Tilean-shaped blank slate. Johan is not really the best comparison to this because even when we did not trust him he was still relevant to the narrative, albeit in a negative sense. As far as we have seen and heard Francisco has not done anything noteworthy he is just there.

So why exactly is Clan Mors considered a traitor-clan among Skavens?

A picture emerges of the Third Skaven Civil War, with the Council of Thirteen apparently gripped by indecision and unable to decide the wishes of the Horned Rat, and of Clan Pestilens once more trying to seize dominance over Skavenblight. Not alone this time; Clan Mors sided with them, as well as several minor clans, and after a brutal decade of fighting they had failed. Now the remaining Great Clans and minor clans alike sought to claim the strongholds and secrets and breeders. Pestilens, Mors, Feesiks, Morbidus, Flem, Septik, Fester. Open season with the unspoken fear that sooner or later the Horned Rat's silence will end, a ceasefire will be called, and for a third time Clan Pestilens would be forgiven and the opportunity would pass forever.

Pestilens made a play for power and a bunch of other clans backed it. This failed, so everyone else is tearing those seven Traitor-Clans to bits as fast as they can before the Horned Rat makes them stop.

...yeah, you're making my point for me. Similar with Oswald Oswaldson; similar with Ruprecht Wulfhart. We don't want to social these characters because we've not seen them do anything onscreen, which means we'll never get to see them do anything onscreen unless Boney finds a place for them in the main thread actions. That is exactly the phenomenon I find frustrating: using the social turns purely to exploit rather than to explore.

The thing is they are barely characters right now, it would not be exploring them, it would be asking the GM to color in the very borad lines they exist in right now. The question I'm asking myself is not 'do I want to know more about Francesco', because there is nothing about him that hints there might be anything to explore. Rather I'm considering 'do I want Francisto to exist more as a character and grow in complexity within the quest's world?'. And there the narrative possibilities do not interest me enough to vote.

Makes sense to me. In a competition between watching battle wizards wreck vampires or visiting goat farmers and their new dairy, one of these is clearly more interesting than the other.

More seriously we've been there before. It wasn't particularly interesting and it seems many of us have forgotten we even visited.

In comparison seeing battlewizards in action and Roswita's reactions to such should be way more interesting. There's also the other choices in competition like spending time with the mostly unexplored Francesco or the humerous Oswald.

A task so dull that not even our information gathering organisation could find anything to say about it. Hard no to wasting a social action on it too.
