If by Fredo, you mean Fredo Corleone I think he is a believable character.
He has many characteristics that are needed in a novel. For a start, he was treated as the baby of the family because of a out of pneumonia as a child and he is considered weaker and less intelligent than his siblings.
He is also considered the black sheep of the family as he loves being part of the Corlene family and what it comes with it ( money and women) but he doesn't like the responsabilities that come with the name.
He craves respect but he doesn't earn it as his siblings and father are continously covering for his mistakes.
I think the answer is 'to engage the audience in the tragic story'. I would only reveal the end to capture the attention of the audince and make them wonder why/how the story ends the way it does.
The danger of that statement is subjecting yourself to fate and letting things go according to how it has unfolded to you - if things go really bad and will affect a lot of people, not only you, who's to blame but you and not fate? Very dangerous a thought.
