==Description==
===Background===
Jim Fitzgerald was born in [[1963]] and raised in [[Acter]], [[Alderney]], as were most other members of [[The Lost]]. According to [[Clay Simons]], Jim was once a US Marine as early as [[1981]] (when he would have been 18) but was kicked out, a claim that Jim did not comment on. Jim also married a woman named Jackie at an unspecified time.


Jim Fitzgerald is a senior member and the treasurer of [[The Lost Brotherhood]] and acts as a right hand man of sorts to Vice President, [[Johnny Klebitz]]. Like Johnny, Jim was against the violent war with [[The Angels of Death]] that is reignited in The Lost and Damned when [[Billy Grey]] returns from rehab. Along with Johnny, he does not like the way Billy is taking the gang.
===The Lost MC===
Jim's criminal record dates back to [[1987]], when he was arrested for assault at age 24. He was likely a member of [[The Lost ]]by this time. As he worked his way up from a prospect to a senior member of the gang, two theft charges followed in the next six years. He later met [[Billy Grey]] and [[Johnny Klebitz]], who were childhood friends of each other and both began very aggressive criminal lifestyles at only 16. Jim became very close friends with Johnny, who was 12 years younger and likely saw him as a role model. He viewed Billy, however, as very foolish and never became as well connected to him. Despite their young ages, Billy and Johnny worked their way up to become president and vice president, respectively, of the chapter. Jim was perfectly content and not jealous, and became their treasurer as well as an unofficial advisor to Johnny. Both he and Johnny were opposed to the war with the [[The Angels of Death|Angels of Death]] biker gang, which dated back to [[1982]] and was reignited under Billy's leadership, but complied out of loyalty. He was arrested in [[1999]] and [[2005]] for cooking meth and larceny, respectively, and his wife Jackie had a baby around the same time.


He works closely with Johnny, [[Liberty City Choppers (mission)|stealing a few bikes]] from the Angels of Death. Two LCPD officers take the bikes away from them, and in the process humiliate Johnny and Jim. They decide that they aren't going to put up with the officers behavior, and lead them into [[Bad Cop Drop|an ambush]].
In [[2008]], Billy was arrested for heroin and was sent to rehab, during which Johnny became the gang's acting president. Billy had been excessively violent towards the AOD, including one incident in which he put [[Joe Jon|Joe Jon's]] nephew in a coma, which directed Johnny to give Billy's [[Revenant]] motorcycle to the AOD as a peace offering. That same year, Billy returned from rehab and became president again, and Jim/Johnny did not like the way Billy was taking the gang. As tensions and arguments over leadership between Billy and Johnny escalated, Billy was eventually [[This Shit's Cursed|arrested in a failed heroin deal]]. Billy blamed Johnny for snitching on him to the police, although it is [[Chinese Takeout|later revealed]] that Billy conspired with the heroin buyers to kill Johnny. [[Brian Jeremy]], Billy's most loyal and sycophantic follower, [[End of Chapter|wages a civil war]] against Jim and Johnny's faction with a noticeably larger faction of other Billy loyalists. Jim had befriended [[Pegorino Family]] [[Ray Boccino]], who assisted Johnny in [[Bad Standing|killing Brian]].


Jim is present when the deal with the [[Algonquin Triads|Triads]] is taking place, along with Johnny, Billy and [[Brian Jeremy|Brian]]. Johnny and Jim [[This Shit's Cursed|get-setup]], and Billy gets arrested. They escape, and start their feud with Brian, who no longer wants to be a part of the gang. However, he then makes a truce with The Lost, and Johnny and the gang arrive, as a [[End of Chapter|violent shootout]] between The Lost and Brian's faction takes place.
In The Lost and Damned, Jim is one of Johnny's good friends you can hang out with and Johnny can make a call to Jim to arrange for a loaded weapon to be left in a corner in the second floor of [[Lost MC Clubhouse]]


After Johnny [[Bad Standing|kills Brian]], they start working with [[Ray Boccino]]. During the [[Collector's Item|deal]] involving the [[Jewish Mob]] and [[Niko Bellic]], when they are ambushed by the [[Ancelotti Family]] and [[Luis Fernando Lopez]]. Niko escapes with nothing, Johnny escapes with the money, and instead of sharing it with Ray, brings it to Jim. Ray thus captures Jim, and one of his goons tortures him. After Johnny shows up, Jim escapes using a switchblade, and takes Ray's handgun. Jim slits Ray's goon's throat, and runs away, along with Johnny. Ray runs up to his dead goon and clutching his dead body, yells "I'll see you later!". After this Jim rides off on his bike and (off-screen), he meets up with another biker in an alleyway. Niko returns to see Ray, who sends him to kill Johnny. However, he only finds Jim and the biker. The two try to escape, and get chased by [[Niko Bellic]], one hits a train, and Jim is killed by Niko.
===Death===
Sometime after the civil war, Boccino recruited Johnny to protect a [[Collector's Item|diamond deal]] between his party and the [[Jewish Mob]]. After surviving [[Not So Fast|an ambush]] at the deal, Johnny returned with Boccino's stolen money and entrusted it to Jim. Boccino captures and tortures Jim back at his restaurant, before Johnny rescues him. Jim parted ways with Johnny to meet with an unnamed Lost biker in an alleyway, when [[Niko Bellic]] pursues the two after [[No Way on the Subway|a bike chase through the subway]]. If Niko doesn't shoot Jim before a certain point, he will accidentally have a head-on encounter with a subway train, his motorcycle explodes instantly. Ironically, Niko assisted Johnny during the diamond deal, a prior heroin deal, and anonymously killed their fellow Lost biker [[Jason Michaels]].


A Weazel News report after the mission confirms that Jim has been killed by Niko and when Johnny meets up with Ashley at the end of the mission, she reveals to him that Jim is dead. Johnny later says that Jim is the greatest thing that has happened to the gang. Johnny states that he will send money to Jim's wife and kid, he owes them that much, and more.
After his killing his picture is hung on the Lost clubhouse's [[The Lost MC Memorial Wall|memorial wall]]. Johnny later said of Jim that he was the greatest thing that has happened to the gang and "the man we all wanted to be". Johnny states that he will send money to Jim's wife and kid, he owes them that much.


Early in the game when arranging an activity with him, he and Clay bicker about the army and its revealed that Jim was in the Marines.
