==Description==

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'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. Jim had befriended [[Pegorino Family]] [[Ray Boccino]], who assisted Johnny in [[Bad Standing|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]]

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]].
