Despite their young ages, Billy and Johnny worked their way up to become president and vice president, respectively, of the chapter. He viewed Billy, however, as very foolish and never became as well connected to him. Jim became very close friends with Johnny, who was 12 years younger and likely saw him as a role model.

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. 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 was likely a member of The Lost by this time. Jim's criminal record dates back to 1987, when he was arrested for assault at age 24. Though he acts distant towards his wife while talking with other Lost members, Jim demonstrated that he really loves and cares for her during conversations with Johnny when alone, for example in Liberty City Choppers. Jim also married a woman named Jackie at an unspecified time. 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 Fitzgerald was born and raised in Acter, Alderney, as were most other members of The Lost. James "Jim" Fitzgerald was a character in the GTA IV era, appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV as a minor character and The Lost and Damned as a main character.
