Mayor Gene Fredrickson
A detailed and Chronological Summary of the life of Gene Fredrickson.
Backstory[]
Gene Fredrickson is an older fellow who is notable for being one of two overweight characters in the series.
The Toppat Clan has existed for a lot more than 40 years[1][2] at minimum, and at some point, Gene would join the ranks of the Toppat Clan. It is unknown when, but before the events of Completing the Mission, he would become an elite member of the Toppat Clan.
Gene had a public love for the arts. When he began his political career he was known as the underdog candidate, his popularity came from his artistic tastes. In the year 2009[3], Gene was elected as the mayor of City Hall, West Mesa, Arizona.[1]
In July of 2010[4], Gene would become aware of the Tunisian Diamond and it's future Exhibition in the National Museum of History and Culture. He made plans to smuggle the Diamond after it's grand opening.

Gene would conspire with the Toppat Clan under Terrence Suave's leadership over the Tunisian Archeological Exhibit of the National Museum of History and Culture. He made plans as the Clan's "inside man" to help them steal the Tunisian Diamond. In this continuity, Ellie Rose would have a role in the Diamond's theft.[5]
Stealing the Diamond[]

On the 8th of July 2010[4], Mayor Gene Fredrickson from the National Museum of History and Culture would declare on Live Television, under the NCC news channel, the opening of the Tunisian Archeological Exhibit. Still on air, Gene would thank someone unseen, meanwhile Henry Stickmin made his way to the Museum.
Sometime later, the Diamond would be stolen, sparking a huge conspiracy.
Between StD and CtM[]
After the Diamond was stolen, Toppat member Ellie Rose would arrive at the Museum only to report that the Diamond was missing. It is unknown what repercussions Gene faced from the Clan in this continuity.[5]
(The preceding information came from the cancelled "Ellie Rose side-game" and was mentioned only for context)
At some point prior to the events of Completing the Mission, Gene's plans to smuggle a large diamond out of the Museum were uncovered. This development caused Gene to flee from the scene, abandoning his position as mayor between the events of StD and ItA.[1]
Between ItA and FtC[]
He, among many other Toppats were notified about the December 2010 due date for the Orbital Station launch nearing in on them. In the Relentless Bounty Hunter/Rapidly Promoted Executive routes, Gene made his way aboard the Toppat Airship in preparation for the launch. But in the Government Supported Private Investigator & Pure Blooded Thief routes he walked to Toppat Launch Site on foot.
Between FtC and CtM[]
In Government Supported Private Investigator & Pure Blooded Thief routes he was already with other surviving Toppats in the Toppat Launch Site.
In Rapidly Promoted Executive routes we could say that TK & T4L are the only endings where he and the other toppats got to the Toppat Launch Site using the Airship. Same with all Relentless Bounty Hunter routes.
Completing the Mission[]

Toppat Civil Warfare[]
Gene was aboard the Airship when the leader, Henry, arrived three days after escaping from The Wall. He witnessed Henry being questioned by Reginald, asking where Henry had been. Before Henry could answer, Ellie told the Clan that Henry was locked up with her, and how Henry abandoned her. Reginald started a mutiny, claiming Henry is without Honor and Dignity. Gene may have witnessed when Henry was thrown from the Airship. Later, an intercom would announce that Henry is no longer the leader of the Clan. Gene and the other Toppats awaited the arrival of the Right Hand Man and Reginald after Reginald was thrown from the Airship's balcony, but they never returned. Ellie became the new leader of the Clan, Gene's new leader and perhaps co-elite.
Orbital Launch[]
Gene would make his way onto the rocket on the day of it's launch. He would be there when it blasted off into space. It is unknown if Gene survived events where Toppats were killed in large numbers. like the The Toppat Raid (with Henry's involvement) or the mass-incarceration of the Toppats, but in most routes, he makes it aboard the rocket and into space.

Valiant Hero[]
Within the week where the Orbital Station had launched, the Station was attacked by Henry Stickmin and Charles Calvin. The Core was heavily damaged and caused a mass-evacuation of the Station. Gene Fredrickson, along with Carol Cross, Albert Poshley, Ahnoldt Schwarz, Sven Svensson, and Mr. Macbeth made their way to a luxury escape pod. In a Fail, Henry and Charles attempt to stowaway in the Pod but are attacked by everyone in the pod except Gene and perhaps Albert, both very old looking fellows. Although he survived the explosion of the orbital station, it remains unknown whether he was subsequently arrested by the Government or not.
