Fred

Fred was a Soong-type android, built based on Doctor Altan Soong's designs. His creator honored Soong through Fred's serial number, AS-0572Y, which was printed on the internal memory drive. Fred expressed a particular fascination for linguistic quirks.
In the 32nd century, at over six hundred years of age, Fred worked as a at the settlement on Q'mau. He was one of the few fences in that era interested in 24th century artifacts, which was known to Cleveland Booker.
In 3191, Fred was approached by couriers Moll and L'ak to move items they had taken from an eight-hundred-year-old derelict Romulan science ship. Among the haul was a tan zhekran formerly owned by Doctor Vellek. After opening the box, Fred found Vellek's journal and, upon reading it, offered Moll and L'ak three bars of latinum for the lot. However, his anxious demeanor betrayed the fact that the journal was far more valuable than his offer. When Fred refused to return the journal to Moll and L'ak, they killed him and his bodyguards. 
Fred's body was later brought to and examined by Commander Paul Stamets and Doctor Hugh Culber. They were able to download the last fifteen teraquads of data from Fred's ocular processing unit, which included the contents of Vellek's journal. ()
