Warning: The following article accommodates spoilers for Locke & Key Season 3 on Netflix.
They say every tale is simplest as just right as its villain, and Locke & Key is not any exception. British Redcoat Frederick Gideon (Kevin Durand) eagerly assumed the position of Locke & Key Season 3's big unhealthy after he was possessed through a demon in Season 2.
Given the fact that Frederick's character hails from Revolutionary-era America (a very real time frame in historical past, clearly), was he actually in keeping with a real-life British soldier? Here's what we all know.

Was the 'Locke & Key' villain Frederick Gideon a real person?
Frederick Gideon has no real-life ancient counterpart. However, like many real-life 18th century British soldiers, Frederick was a fervent loyalist, absolutely flummoxed over America's rebellious streak.
However, we expect it's safe to say that no British soldier at the time would move at the side of Frederick's evil scheme to damage all of the global in Locke & Key Season 3.

Thankfully Frederick's plan was ultimately foiled. Kevin informed Comic Book Resources that his Locke & Key character was a "loose cannon." The actor believed that the demon possessing Frederick simply amplified Frederick's deepest needs, noting, "He was so driven by greed and lust for power and higher rank. Once a demon took over, it was amplified a million. He wanted to be king of the universe. It was fun to step in and luxuriate in that."
How was Frederick ultimately defeated?
If we are going to get technical, Frederick is useless when he is wholeheartedly embracing his villain period in Locke & Key Season 3. So how do the Lockes set up to defeat a man who is already lifeless?
And to make matters extra complicated, how do the Lockes manage to take Frederick down when he manages to break their handiest manner of doing so?

After Frederick destroys the Well House (another way known as the one strategy to defeat him), the Lockes understand they've to plot some other plan, and quick.
What the Lockes needed to use was the Alpha Key. Tyler Locke (Connor Jessup) first of all created the Alpha Key to save lots of his girlfriend from demonic ownership. Sadly, it was so tough that it killed her as neatly. However, that is precisely the ability the Lockes had to defeat Frederick for good in the third season.

Kinsey Locke (Emilia Jones) finally ends up taking a stab at Frederick, actually. She lands the killing blow on Frederick, stabbing him with the powerful Alpha Key. Nina Locke (Darby Stanchfield) shoved the demon possessing Frederick through the portal back to the place he got here from.
As a outcome, Frederick was in any case defeated as soon as and for all.
Kevin revealed what he considered Frederick's hubris during the same CBR interview, announcing that, "I think he lacked patience. He was maybe a little too cocky. If he had sat back and planned a little better... He just wanted it all right now. Just like everybody else in society, we want everything now. He was basically [like], ‘'I want the universe, and I need it now. There's no time like right now.' He had a god complex."
