Tamara Dunleavy

## Physical description

### Gender

Male

**Freddie Cinta** is a clone of Farouk al Fayed, a notorious kidnapper, as a result of Project Osiris. Because of this, Eli Frieden managed to figure out where the other Osiris clones were hiding*:* A strand of hair from his DNA donor was reported by the *Manchester Guardian* to have been found in Poseidon Resort and Water Park in West Cay, Bahamas, which could only belong to Freddie.

He grew up in Serenity, New Mexico, a perfect town where he was taught honesty, harmony and contentment and lived isolated from any negative influences. Freddie was the third to be convinced of Project Osiris by Eli, Tori Pritel, Amber Laska, Malik Bruder and Hector Amani in *Payback.*

Freddie was later adopted by internet billionaire Tamara Dunleavy and went to live in her mansion in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, along with Tamara herself and the ten other Osiris clones. At the end of the series, Freddie attended the middle school as an eighth grader.

## Biography

Freddie Cinta was born to two unnamed surrogate parents around 2002 in Serenity, New Mexico.

Shortly after Eli Frieden, Tori Pritel, Amber Laska, Malik Bruder and Hector Amani escaped from Serenity, Freddie was told that the other kids had come down with a bad illness and sent to a hospital in Santa Fe to be cured and distanced from the others. He then traveled to Poseidon Resort and Water Park along with the other clones and other residents of Serenity as part of Felix Hammerstrom's plan to hide and prevent them from escaping as well.

While staying at Tamara Dunleavy's mansion, Eli stumbled upon a short article by the *Manchester Guardian* which mentioned that a hair that was an exact match for Farouk al Fayed had been found in a hotel room in Poseidon. However, it couldn't have belonged to the kidnapper himself, as he had been imprisoned for longer than the water park had been open, and Eli immediately realized that it must have been from **Freddie Cinta**, his clone.

Freddie was found bobbing in an inner tube in the wave pool (which he was often seen at) with Ben Statsny jumping breakers beside him. As Robbie Miers and Hector Amani reached them, Hector ordered the other two boys to follow, and they climbed up onto the deck to run from the nearby Surety. Freddie splashed Hector in the face with water (either accidentally or on purpose) and was pulled by Ben while still in the inner tube, sounding delighted when he realized Eli, Tori, Amber and Malik weren't ill.

After being told the truth about Project Osiris, Freddie didn't believe it, stubbornly sticking his lower lip out, and was appalled upon hearing that Ben had rebelled against what he had been told earlier (not to turn on the resort TV). As they were recruiting the rest of the clones to escape Poseidon, Freddie broke away from the group and sought help from Mrs. Laska, Amber's surrogate mother. He grabbed Ben by the arm and spun him around, pleading him not to believe the others, but Ben shook him off.

When Project Osiris was announced to have officially ended, Freddie timidly stepped forward from among the Osiris researchers and was given a forgiving nod by Malik. He was adopted by Tamara Dunleavy and went to live with her, along with the ten other Osiris clones, in her gigantic mansion located on a ranch near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Freddie was an eighth grader attending Jackson Hole's middle school by the end of the trilogy.

## Personality and traits

Freddie can be stubborn, as at first he refused to believe that Project Osiris was real and his life in Serenity had been composed of lies, instead sticking to the ideas he had grown up believing.
