Hello I'm Fred Herman Jones from Scooby-Doo. Currently I work for Mystery Inc. in Awesome Austin, TX. We solve mysteries and help out many different organizations in the Austin Metro Area.
With blonde hair and good looks that would inspire confidence in anyone (except maybe Scooby and Shaggy), Fred Jones is the glue that keeps Mystery Inc. together. Nearly as sharp as Velma in picking up clues, Freddy is the gang's leader, big brother and inspiration all rolled into one. His genius for setting elaborate traps to catch ghouls, ghosts and just plain bad guys is only diminished by the fact that most of his traps backfire! Freddy's the one who drives The Mystery Machine, gives the gang their assignments, and pairs them up for their missions. In the end, it's Fred who makes it official with the words, "Well, I guess that wraps up another mystery."
Fred Herman Jones, known to his friends by the nickname Freddie, is the leader of the group, and (usually) the driver of the gang's van, the Mystery Machine, Fred is a blonde, ascot-wearing, statuesque and brave youth; everything that the group's other male human member, Shaggy, isn't. In later spinoffs, Fred is also shown as having a great interest in various types of sports.
Fred would often be shown constructing various Rube Goldberg traps for villains, which Scooby-Doo and/or Shaggy would often set off by mistake, only for the villain to wind up captured by the trap anyway. During the first season of Scooby Doo, Where Are You?, Fred would sometimes refer to his cohort Daphne Blake as "Danger-Prone Daphne" due to her penchant for getting into trouble.
Fred leads the group in solving mysteries and often orders the gang to split up to search for clues. Fred usually takes the female members of the gang, Daphne and Velma, with him while Shaggy and Scooby go off by themselves although he would sometimes send Velma along with Shaggy and Scooby; Fred's main catchphrase is related to this divide-and-conquer clue search method: "let's split up, gang..."
Fred's childhood started in the cartoon "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo.'" Fred had a very odd childhood, noteworthy as being slightly hyperactive, danger-prone (of which now he calls Daphne), and superstitious. He was picked on by Red Herring, the neighborhood bully very much. Also, he was subscribed to a magazine, called the National Exaggerator, that "reported" real monsters (his favorites being the mole people and the mud monsters). This is later hinted at in What's New, Scooby Doo? shown from his eccentric actions. Fred also almost always gets something wrong at the end of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, as he always (or almost always) accuses Red as being the villain. It is shown that Fred has worn his ascot since childhood.
