### Fred Jones: 1989 - 2007

Fred never knew his mother. Fred's father told him she had left Fred on his father's doorstep when he was just a month old. Fred's father did not struggle to raise his son by any means, as the Jones family was considerably wealthy and resourceful by the way of the original Frederick Jones (Fred's grandfather) having left his entire fortune to his only child. Fred had every reason to believe he was going to inherit that wealth.

### Fred Jones: 2007 - 2013

When Fred was seventeen, a genetic heart condition put Fred's father in the hospital. Fred had himself screened by the doctors (going behind his father's protestations to do so) and the doctors alerted Fred that it was genetically impossible for him to be his father's biological son.

As Fred confronted his father about this news, Fred, Sr. dismissed this, claiming the doctors were wrong. When Fred demanded to know who his real parents were, Fred, Sr. feigned a heart attack. As Fred left to call an ambulance, Fred, Sr. ran to his study where he scribbled down a quick letter and grabbed a loaded pistol from his desk drawer.

Fred found his father dead at his desk with blood pooling around a note which simply read, "I cannot go to prison for what I've done. I am sorry." Devastated by this, Fred put his entire inheritance into a trust fund, gave his "father" a pauper's funeral, and boarded up the Jones estate.

After months of searching for his real family, Fred found no leads or clues of any kind. Fred passed on college despite a full-ride scholarship to play football. Instead, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, desperate to find a new sense of purpose and maybe a surrogate family. Fed's mix of wit and grit placed him in the Army Rangers program where he served as an armored transport driver. Fred would only be in the service for five years before he was discharged after his convoy was hit by a roadside IED and besieged by hostiles. Fred was able to defend the soldiers in his own transport until help arrived, despite Fred's own severe injuries. Awarded a couple of medals and sent back home, Fred was once more lost. Fred went back to searching for his parents, but ended up settling down in a small town where he worked as an auto-mechanic.

### Fred Jones: 2013 - Present

In his free time, Fred began using his know-how and inheritance to retrofit an old motorhome with top-of-line parts, such as a luxury interior, an armored exterior, and a variety of parts from the Army-Navy surplus. Fred's plan was to use this as his mobile base on his quest to find his real parents. However, before he had finished it, Daphne Blake stumbled upon the vehicle and offered to pay Fred to finish it.

Daphne stayed with Fred while he was putting the finishing touches on the machine, and he ended up taking a liking to Daphne. Instead of selling the vehicle, Fred offered to drive the machine until Daphne or her team were more comfortable with its handling. Daphne agreed, but soon revisited the terms of Fred's employment when Fred's tactical prowess proved to be an essential asset to Mystery Incorporated's operations.

Fred remains the team's primary driver and mechanic of the Mystery Machine, but also works the team's security expert.
