Fred's often very curious about the affairs of others. He regularly directs his questions to his superior, Arthur Randall, with hopes of having him elucidate certain matters; for instance, he asked Arthur to explain the purpose of the Phantomhive family. Fred is frequently subjected to Arthur's insults, as well as whatever reproach that may arise when investigations aren't carried out quickly enough. He usually responds to the admonishments with meek apologies. A tractable man, he was, on one occasion, unable to prevent Ciel and Sebastian from entering Scotland Yard's file room. Furthermore, Fred, in alignment to his position as a Scotland Yard inspector, strongly believes in justice and righteousness; thus, he refused to accept Ciel's bribe and was appalled by Ciel's dubious methods of investigation as well as his dishonorable arrangement with Queen Victoria - Ciel performs the dirty work for the Queen and receives bribe money from her. Additionally, Fred harbors a vast appreciation for the arts, and is considerably knowledgeable of various paintings. He was impressed by Ciel's collection of Brotherhood Pre-Raphaelite artwork, as it's something he's a fan of. Fred is based on real-life police officer Frederick Abberline, who also worked on investigating the Jack the Ripper murders....- CONFESSION | Fred would be unbelievably shocked. They what? They love him? He’d sit in shock for a moment before realizing he was doing so, in which case he’d get really flustered. He’d struggle to get a response out, stuttering so much it would be unintelligible. Taking a deep breath, he’d regain his composure and let them know he returned their affection, not being able to contain the grin that spread across his face.
