Fred Douglas

Summary
Fred Douglas is the partially blind driver and pilot for at first the Las Vegas Faction, and then the Fresno Faction. Scott guesses that he is around the age of 26.

Personality
Fred is a jokester who enjoys practical jokes on other people as well as messing with them, but really has a heart of gold. He tends to take care of others through indirect means like leaving them slices of pizza on plate. Often times he tends to act like a big brother to Ryker, teaching him life lessons.

While his motivations may rely in more traditionally greedy and selfish things like being praised as a hero or rewards in the form of money, he has a good heart as well as a tendency to think outside the box, often disregarding sentimental things for the sake of others and his survival as well as being incredibly selfless.

While working as the driver for Rubio Hernandez, Fred tried for over a decade to stop Ejido from being manipulated by Napoleon and Sergio for it, trying to "Save" Ejido. He's shown to have an extreme guilt about this, often getting blackout drunk anytime it comes across his mind.

Fred develops under the wing of Lawrence Hardgrove, with Lawrence training Fred what it means to be a leader.

Physical Appearance
Fred is described as having a pair of sunglasses always on his face thanks to his retina damage as well as multiple different colored baseball hats, often changing based on a character's or his mood, as well as based on events in the story. His clothes often are composed of basketball shorts and old band shirts which he tends to exchange with Ryker.

History
Fred was hired as the driver for Rubio Hernandez after beating him in a street race and getting arrested for speeding and racing, only to be pardoned by Rubio Herndez.

During the battle of the three factions, his retinas were permanently damaged after witnessing the explosion in Los Angeles, which was so bright it caused damage to his eyesight, but later on proved that he was still a very skilled driver even with his visual impairment.
