You are confusing the word discreet with discrete. A discreet person is one who does not commit an indiscretion. Whereas, a discrete person is one who is distinct from other people. I know the difference of course, but have never actually seen discrete used to describe a "person apart" but apparently it can be done. Since it is understood that all people are indeed discrete individuals, separate from other people (even conjoined twins remain somewhat discrete, although not as much as other people are) it would usually be considered unnecessary to say it.
