Fred AKA Freaky Fred

Fred grew up with his father; his parents divorced when he was ten. His mother remarried and had three children, half-siblings whom Fred rarely saw. Fred's father was not very expressive, and Fred found that the only way to communicate with his father was through logic rather than emotion. Fred had a natural inclination toward the sciences, which his father encouraged. In elementary school, he was bullied occasionally because he was thin and wore thick glasses. In high school Fred was grew very tall, but was awkward and gangly. He embraced being a science nerd and related to others academically but not socially. He tried to avoid attention, and hated being singled out except in the classroom. Eventually, Fred received a scholorship to Stanford University. Physically, he had gotten past his awkward stage and was quite attractive, but he was oblivious to this. After his sophomore year, he volunteered for a special research project offered by his favorite marine biology professor. Fred spent the majority of the summer on remote beaches along the Oregon and Washington coast, camping for the most part. It was a solitary trip, and he went days at a time without seeing another person. Riley found him on one of those beaches and imagined that Fred's disappearance would seem quite explicable. He asked Fred if he was interested in some excitement. Fred said no, but Riley didn't take no for an answer. After being transformed, Fred found that he had a special ability. When people looked at him, he could make them gag or feel physically sick. When he does this, his victims try not to look at him, which can cause them to forget all about him.

Fred is one of three newborns who survived the rest of the coven's demise; he went on to be a solitary nomad.
