# Mr. Freyder — The Third Round character guide

> Mr. Freyder in The Third Round by H. C. McNeile.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Julius Freyder, Mr. Julius Freyder

**First appearance:** 0000-i-in-which-the-metropolitan-diamond-syndicate-holds-converse-with-mr-edward-blackton

## Snapshot

Robinson's quick and skilled lieutenant, professional enough to ask the practical question about Drummond while his chief savors the prospect of revenge.

## Who they are

Freyder watches Robinson's face and shudders at a ferocity he has never seen on any man, then calmly raises the operational point—what about Drummond—that his employer has overlooked in his relish. He is the one who judges how long a stunned captive will stay unconscious, and his competence is what makes Robinson's household run. His burns and his ruined face are the cost of being useful to a man who calls him 'my dear fellow.'
