James "Jim" Fitzgerald (1963 - 2008) was a character in the GTA IV era, appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV and The Lost and Damned.

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.

He works closely with Johnny, 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 an ambush.

Jim is present when the deal with the Triads is taking place, along with Johnny, Billy and Brian. Johnny and Jim 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 violent shootout between The Lost and Brian's faction takes place.

After Johnny kills Brian, they start working with Ray Boccino. During the 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.

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.

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.

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 the Lost MC Clubhouse.

Trivia

  • The Jim in the Beta version and in the trailers has no bandanna around his head, and the final one has a bandanna, with the American flag on it.
  • Jim appears different in GTA IV than he does in The Lost and Damned. In GTA IV, he's a white bearded man but in The Lost and Damned, he appears to be mixed raced. Seeing as TLAD is the latest, it can be assumed that his appearance was retconned. Jim is the only member of the Lost to still ride a black Zombie with red trim wheels.
  • According to in-game dialogue, Jim was once in the US Marine Corps. Clay claims he was kicked out, though this is not confirmed true or false by Jim.
  • Jim's e-mail address is jimfitz@LOSTMC.com
  • Jim's appearance probably based on Sonny Barger, biker world legend, who is Caucasian too, but looks very similar to Hispanic.
  • The Lost only seem to call him Jim, however Johnny calls him James.
  • Jim's nickname, 'The Fitz', is a likely reference to Arthur 'The Fonz' Fonzarelli. The Fonz was a biker and character on the long running sitcom Happy Days.
  • Jim's colors are very unique to the other Lost members, he does not wear either a denim vest or a leather jacket. He also wears sports camo pants and brown hinterland boots.
  • In Clean And Serene, when all the characters are being introduced, his name says Jimmy Fitzgerald, despite him never being called Jimmy in the game.
  • Jim was charged with assault in 1987 when he was 24, he was also charged with hijacking in 1989 when he was 26, grand larceny in 1993 when he was 30, unlawful manufacture mathamphetamine in 1999 when he was 36,
