'''Lieutenant, Junior Grade Frederic-104''', born '''Frederic Ellsworth''',<ref name="HWFred"/> is a [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II commando]]. As of [[2558]], he is one of the few remaining SPARTAN-IIs and holds the highest rank among his active-duty peers.

In May 2553, Fred would lead Blue Team as they were attached to the [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] sent to investigate a disturbance on the planet [[Gao]] and retrieve [[Intrepid Eye|a Forerunner ancilla]] housed on the planet.<ref name="Azure Noir">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-azure-noir '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Azure Noir'']</ref>

In the post-war years to follow, Blue Team—comprising Fred, Kelly and Linda—was redeployed to the outer fringes of human space to eliminate hostile [[Covenant remnants|Covenant remnants]]. These operations were highly classified and under ONI's direct oversight.<ref name="HWFred"/>

==Personality and description==

Fred has displayed many similarities, both physical and mental, with [[John-117]], with whom he often works very closely. He is an exceptional leader and a quick thinker. John remarked, however, that Fred sometimes takes the responsibility of his command too seriously, empathizing too deeply with any wounded member of his team.<ref name="FS">'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 219''</ref> However, in the years following the [[Fall of Reach]], he learned to better adapt to battlefield casualties. Many consider him the most capable fireteam leader of all Spartans.<ref name="HWFred"/> Although he had led Blue Team for years and despite now outranking John, Fred quickly conceded his leadership of the team to the Master Chief after the Spartans reunited in 2557.<ref name="HE8"/>

==Equipment==

By [[2526]], Frederic wore the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/B variant|B variant]] [[MJOLNIR Mark IV]] armor. Later on, in [[2552]], he wore a [[Commando]]-class Mark IV and [[Mark V]] armor. Upon his return to Earth he, like the other active Spartans, was equipped with a [[Mark VI]]-generation MJOLNIR armor, specifically a number of variants of a prototype suit designated [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Centurion|Centurion]], which incorporated many features which would later be incorporated into the GEN2 system.<ref name="HWFred"/> Like the rest of Blue Team, his armor was fully upgraded to the GEN2 platform at some point in the post-war era.<ref name="warfare">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-conventional-warfare '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Conventional Warfare'']</ref> By 2557 he donned a blue-tinted Centurion-class armor with gold detailing, which he continued to wear as of 2558.<ref name="HE10"/><ref name="warfare"/>

As of 2558 Fred's preferred weapon loadout is an [[M395 DMR]] and an [[M6H magnum#Variant|M6H2 magnum]] sidearm.<ref name="gi h5g">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/06/12/the-halo-5-guardians-cover-story.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 '''Game Informer''': ''The Halo 5: Guardians Cover Story'']</ref>
