Frederick "Fred" Jones is the leader of a teen mystery-solving team. He rides their van, the Mystery Machine.

Physical appearance

Fred is a tall, broad-shouldered teenaged male, with blond hair and a huge chin. He wears a white sweater over a blue shirt, topped off with an orange ascot, along with blue jeans, and brown shoes.

Personality

As the leader of the detective group, Fred is highly dedicated to mystery-solving, often placing investigations over other pursuits and sometimes ignoring the wishes of his fellow gang members, such as ignoring their desires to see an Egyptology museum exhibit so he could see the History of Mystery exhibit. His passion for crime-solving stemmed from his childhood, where he caught his own father as a criminal. Because of the burden of leadership placed on him, he expects the others to follow his lead, which was especially difficult in the Crystal Canopy, when they had to be completely silent, and be expected to learn and follow his commands through hand signals.

Fred can sometimes be so focused on a mystery, that if something important conflicts with solving it, he will disregard it. An example is where Velma Dinkley had an interview at Elias Kingston University, but when talk of a monster on the campus was rumored, he jeopardized her place in order to solve it. Rigorous investigations have also taken a toll on his health, such as when he investigated three cases at once, plaguing him with mental delirium and paranoia.

When the gang and a museum guide questioned his authority, he challenged Fred's leadership skills, offering to temporarily lead the gang in solving a case. The case humbled Fred as the group was more productive under Jeff's leadership, as Jeff listened to the gang members' needs and relied on Velma's intellect to guide their investigation, and this in turn allowed the gang to respect Jeff more. However, Fred still recognizes the abilities of his members, and uses them to solve the crime, such as letting Daphne Blake pilot the Mystery Machine after she demonstrated superior piloting skills flying Air Gigantica. He later acknowledged the importance of his team members in solving cases, giving them credit for their contributions, in stark contrast to Rose, the leader of rivalling detective group.

Fred is frequently annoyed by Daphne's spontaneous interests, but Velma warns him not indulge her by acknowledging them. He tries not to encourage this side of her, being irked by her puppet gang, or by accidentally laughing at one of her stand-up comic jokes. However, he sometimes tolerates her interests, such as roller-skating in assisting his magic act. In earlier cases, he adopted similar interests himself, such as posing as a knight or a stage magician before realizing it is better to be himself.

History

Early life

Young Fred on Halloween.

When he was young he went trick-or-treating with his cousin, Scott McDoon, and friend, Rose.

He and Rose were junior detectives who wanted to find out the identity of Professor Huh?, but when Fred found out it was his own father, he couldn't bring himself to tell the police. Rose, on the other hand, didn't have any qualms, turning him over to the police, turning her into a celebrity overnight, but she also threw away her friendship with Fred.

He once threw a snowball at Daphne Blake and she secretly never got over it, biding her time until she could get her revenge.

Notes/Trivia

• Being in charge, Fred was considered the cornerstone of the gang and was the first to be redeveloped, with his personality being based on a young Gene Wilder, particularly in the film, Young Frankenstein, turning Fred into someone very controlling and serious in his work.
• Unlike other incarnations, Fred is the tallest in the group, being slightly taller than Shaggy.
• Fred is the first member of the gang to have a family member appear in an episode.
• Technically, Fred has not appeared in every episode, but he did have a virtually identical old Victorian version in Scroogey Doo; in Greece is the Word, he also had a Ancient Greece version, but the regular Fred also appeared in that.
• According to the episodes Mystery 101 and All Paws on Deck, it is implied that Fred suffers from Corpulophobia (which is when the person is afraid of widths and everything related to widths).
