Fred

Fred is a vampire created by Victoria as part of her army. His only appearance is the Eclipse novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
Fred befriends Bree and protects her from harm with his talent to repulse other vampires. To avoid getting into fights, Bree would sit by his side during the day and endure his "smell", as everyone else is repulsed by it. It is told that Fred can control this "smell" to make it as weak or powerful as he pleases.

He finds Riley's promises empty and runs off to Vancouver the day before they fought the Cullens, determined to explore the world of vampires on his own. Before he does, however, he promises to wait for Bree and her boyfriend Diego for one day before going off on his own. Right before Bree dies in the hands of the Volturi, she telepathically asks Edward Cullen to be nice to him if they were ever to cross paths.

He is supposedly the only vampire to have survived from the army, but this is unspecified as the Volturi was watching their every move before their arrival in Forks (but he could have made it because his abilities to make people unable to think about him).

Physical appearance
He is described as a tall college student around six-two with thick, curly blond hair, broad-shouldered and muscular. He looked older than the other vampires. Bree was also suprised at how handsome if not better looking than most of the other newborns, despite his vampric gift.

Personality traits
Fred is often quiet and prefers to be left on his own, except for Bree. He is intelligent and able to think clearer than most of the other newborns, and finds Riley's promises more lies than truth. Bree also mentions that she leaves him the books she has read so he could use them also.

Illusionary Repulsion
Fred has the gift to project a repulsion to those around him, and make them think that he could release a strong, unbearable stench from his body, useful when his life and limb are at a stake. Over time, he learns to use his power in a wider range, making him disgusting to other people, who will promptly forget about him. He develops it to the point were simply thinking of him will cause repulsion. It also earns him the nickname "Freaky Fred".

He can also make people feel repelled by the thought of him. It can be easily implied as a mental power, which is made useless against Bella by to her ability to block mind-targeted powers.

Human Life
During his human life, Fred was an observant and quiet person, being kind of a science nerd. Sort of quiet and sort of not liking other people’s attention which is probably how he got his gift. It also explains why he is so much more observant than the other newborn vampires.

Etymology
Fred is a shortened form of "Frederick" meaning "peaceful ruler". The name "fred" also means "peace" in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. During his time with the army, he is one who defuses a tense situation and keeps some members from killing each other, or, at the very least, from bothering him.
