Fredo Corleone

"I'm your brother Mike, and you gota listen to me! But if Sonny touches you, just tell me oaky."

- Fredo speaking to Michael

Frederico "Fredo" Corleone was the eldest Corleone brothers.

Biography
Fredo was born in Crazy Town in 1919. In his youth he was a sickly child, contracting pneumonia as a baby. Growing up, he was an agressive young man, despite briefly wishing to become a doctor after meeting with his father Vito, but it was believed that Vito molested him. As an adult he was seen as the weakest of the three brothers and also the oldest, he was given relatively unimportant business to run. However, he was also known as a charismatic young man, and was usually sent to pick important people up at the airport and entertain them before business meetings.

Plans for the family
At the funeral for Ben Kenny of San Francisco, Fredo gets the idea of setting up a necropolis similar to Colma in New Town. The Corleone's would be able to buy up the former cemetery land cheap, now prime real estate, and also be a silent partner in the graveyard business. Fredo would propose this plan to Mike and impress him, reassuring him and others of his abilities. To Fredo's dismay, Michael would end up not going for it.

Personality and traits
"Fredo has a good heart, but he is weak, coward...and stupid, and stupid people are the most dangerous of all."

- Michael Corleone to Vito

Described as the child Italians prayed to the saints for, Fredo was the weakest of the Corleone brothers, showing almost no skill with a gun, although physically in his youth he had quite a reputation. He was also known for having a gullible attitude and made bad decisions business wise. Although, as with all Corleones, he had a temper and would lash out at any one that insulted him or his family. After Michael became boss, Fredo always held a grudge by getting stepped over and would show it when Michael berate him for choosing Hyman Roth over the Corleone family. Despite all his flaws, Fredo showed to be the most sensitive and caring member of the Corleones and his warmth led him to be used in meeting and greeting important business figures for the family.
