Jim Fitzgerald: Difference between revisions

Jim Fitzgerald was born 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 is also marries a woman named Jackie at an unknown time.

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.
