Frederick Cooper is a Prizrak member who aided in Hope's escape from Metamorphosis. He does not speak but instead uses a text-to-speech software to communicate with The Player as it is "too risky" to use his real voice. Cooper offered advice to The Player and sometimes provided opinions and backstory to the items The Player was inspecting.
Cooper owns a collection of video games stored on floppy disks which was stolen by his fellow guards. The Player may choose to purloin them back for him, which can be accomplished by having Hope pickpocket the various guards around Metamorphosis , where Cooper would give his thoughts on them upon reviewing the said floppy disks.

Relationships
Prizrak
Cooper is generally disliked by other Prizrak members. This can be construed from the other Prizrak guards stealing his video game collection and Cooper stating that they "enjoy tormenting [him]". Quinn Derringer, the head of the Prizrak, also shows an apparent dislike for Cooper, sarcastically mocking his taciturn nature in Episode 1. Derringer also kicked Cooper to the ground in Episode 3.
Mireille A. Prideaux
Like the Prizrak, Prideaux seems to dislike Cooper as well, as she was seen shouting at him to go fetch water from "the Commissary" when he hestitated and also called him an "imbecile".
Hope
Cooper was a key person in orchestrating Hope's escape. Though it is unknown how much Cooper knows Hope on a personal level, he expresses a strong desire to help her escape.
