===Background===

Jim also married a woman named Jackie at an unspecified time.

====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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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's nephew in a coma, which directed Johnny to give Billy's Revenant motorcycle to the AOD as a peace offering.

As tensions and arguments over leadership between Billy and Johnny escalated, Billy was eventually arrested in a failed heroin deal. Billy blamed Johnny for snitching on him to the police, although it is later revealed that Billy conspired with the heroin buyers to kill Johnny. Brian Jeremy, Billy's most loyal and sycophantic follower, 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 killing Brian.

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
