Fred Jones, Sr.


 * For the original incarnation of the Jones patriarch, see Skip Jones.

Fred Jones, Sr. is the father of Fred. He is also the mayor of Crystal Cove. He seems to care more about making money from the town's mysteries rather than solving them, which conflicts with his son contributing to an already awkward relationship. Fred doesn't see through his father's selfishness. It appears that he knows about the missing Mystery Incorporated.
