Mayor Frederick "Fred" Jones, Sr. is a character in Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated appearing as the main villain of season one and a minor character in the second season. He was voiced by Gary Cole.
Biography[]
Before his debut, Mayor Frederick Jones, Sr. never makes any appearances at all, although his existence is hinted multiple times by Jonah Weatherly's mother Katrina Weatherly (nee Walls).
Season 1[]
Though Mayor Jones does not do much for most of the Season, it is hinted that he knows about the true mystery of what happened to Crystal Cove in the past, as revealed in "A Haunt in Crystal Cove" where Professor Pericles (Udo Kier) reveals to the Mystery Incorporated that Jones had stole a piece of the Planispheric Disk from him years ago.
His true nature is revealed in the Season 1 finale, "All Fear the Freak", where he disguised himself as The Freak of Crystal Cove and attempts to attack the Mystery Gang, though they managed to unmask him and reveal his true identity. Mayor Jones is then arrested, and lost his title as the Mayor of Crystal Cove to Mayor Nettles (Kate Higgins).
Season 2[]
Frederick Jones Sr. is a minor character in Season 2 as he is now under imprisonment. Frederick met his good side in the waiting room, and after a confession, Frederick is finally able to forgive him. He was eventually eaten alive by the Evil Entity (Clancy Brown) as Frederick watched in horror.
Post-Nibiru[]
In the alternative timeline created by destroying the Evil Entity he is simply the school's soccer team coach; here he is happy with his job and has a good and stable relationship with Frederick.
Personality[]
He was the mayor of Crystal Cove and the "surrogate" father of Fred "Frederick" Jones Junior. On the surface, he seems to only care more about making money from the town's mysteries rather than solving them, which conflicts with his son, contributing to an already awkward relationship.
In reality this is a cover for a much darker and obsessed personality, one who has gone to great lengths to complete the Planispheric Disk. He forced the original Mystery Incorporated to leave Crystal Cove and bargained away the guardianship of the son of Bradley Chiles and Judy Reeves.
Mayor Jones is shown to be a selfish, nasty, unfriendly, and greedy opportunist. He will do almost anything to make Crystal Cove into a tourist hot spot. He takes any of the paranormal and bizarre events that happen in Crystal Cove as an opportunity to promote the town's popularity regardless of the consequences and thus, he will willingly turn a blind eye in favor of reaping the benefits that they bring until it is too late. In turn, his relationship with his son has become turbulent at best, with Frederick "Fred" Jones Jr. slowly (but surely) realizing how selfish, unfriendly, nasty, and greedy his father really is.
However, there is some good somewhere inside him. When Fred was chasing him while he was still disguised as the Freak of Crystal Cove, a cliff Frederick "Fred" Jr. was standing on crumbled and Frederick was clinging. Frederick "Fred" Jones Sr. saved his adopted son's life helping him up, allowing Frederick "Fred" Jr. to capture the Freak revealing Frederick "Fred" Sr.'s true nature. In irony, him saving Freddie resulted in his outing and arrest.
Frederick later met up with his good side trapped in limbo, where he admitted he did love Frederick, but had been corrupted by the influence of the entity and his own greed and selfishness. He and Frederick managed to make up, with Frederick admitting that he may not have been the best father, but he still raised him.
