Jeremy Fitzgerald II

* Current
* Teen
* Guard

*Not to be confused with Lil' Jeremy Fitzgerald, Jeremy Fitzgerald Sr., or Jeremy.*
**Jeremiah "Jeremy" Fitzgerald II** is a reoccurring side character in the undeniably canon series.

Having originally been friends with Michael Afton, he would find himself working for Fazbear Entertainment twice. The first time, as a security guard, having his frontal lobe bitten out by Balloon Boy, leading to the pizzeria's closing, the event dubbed "The Bite of '87". He miraculously survived, with his brain growing back.

40 years later, he would work for the company again, now as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place manager #4. He lost the job after reading Henry Emily's secret diary, currently being lobotomized by Henry and seen as insane by other people of Hurricane.

## Appearance

Jeremy seems to be mixed-race, based on his and his younger brother's consistently darker skin tone and his father's lighter one. He has maroon eyes, him seemingly having inherited his father's eye-exclusive albinism, and raven black hair. He has his lower lip pierced on the right side and two additional piercings above and below his left eye brow.

As a teen he was exclusively seen wearing a bright red shirt, dark cyan shorts and light gray shoes, having his hair styled in a short manner. His face was never shown, but it can be assumed he didn't have piercings yet.

As adult in '87, he seemed to be of average height with fit build. He wears a standard lavender Freddy's employee uniform shirt, sleeves rolled up below elbows, with a golden badge, dark gray pants and black belt. He also has his late father's rabbit tie, as well as blue and red wrist bands.

After the bite of '87, his frontal lobe was completely bitten off, a giant hole was left in his forehead and a chunk of brain missing. After Doctor made his frontal lobe grow back, three scars can be seen.

Currently, Jeremy is an old man, with visible wrinkles under his eyes and graying hair. He wears an orange suit, with lavender shirt and his old, darkened tie. He still has his piercings.

## Story

### Early childhood

Little is known about Jeremy's early childhood. He was most likely born in Hurricane, around 1970 (Him being close to Michael Afton's age, stated as 50-ish in 2023) to Jeremy Fitzgerald Sr. and an unknown mother. He, Mike and their Uno buddies have probably met during their early childhood.

### Teenhood

One day in summer 1983, after Trevor Rovert turned into a shadow creature, Jeremy and his Uno buddies danced conga with him in Fredbear's Family Diner.

~~The next day, Michael asked Jeremy and their Uno buddies to help him bully his younger brother. They barged into his room, took him to the diner and started laughing at him for all to see, Jeremy himself calling the child "kind of a baby". They would then carry him to Fredbear in order to shove the boy in the bear's mouth. The 4 teens got terrified for about 5 seconds as Fredbear clamped his jaw on the child's skull, until the boy hopped out of the animatronic's mouth unscathed, saved by machine's rubber teeth. When the livid child threatened to "do the job again", Jeremy, panicking, knocked the child unconscious with a chair.~~

The next day, Fredbear's Family Diner would get shut down, with the media spreading rumors about some non-existant bite of '83, leading Jeremy to lose contact with his Uno buddies, as Michael was sent to collage by his father and the other two moved out of Hurricane. His father would also be killed by Ferdinand Von Bernard, Jeremy kept his dad's tie (the only thing Ferdinand left of him) and would always wear it for the future, in his father's memory.

On Jane 26th, 1985, Jeremy's younger brother, Lil Jeremy Fitzgerald, would go missing, never to be found. It is unknown how this event affected Jeremy.

### *Five Nights at Freddy's 2*

When the second Freddy Fazbear's Pizza location opened on **October 31st, 1987**, A graffiti text "Jeremy was here" can be seen on the roof, most likely left by him.

A week later, on **November 7th**, Jeremy applied for the job of a night shift security guard, getting hired by the junior manager known by other employees as "Phone Guy".

On **November 8th**, at midnight, Jeremy began his first shift. After getting a call from Phone Guy, teaching him about the pizzeria, the advanced tech of Toy Animatronics, how Dave Miller complained about animatronics trying to get into the office, explaining how to wind up the music box in order to keep the sock puppet asleep, repel other robots by wearing his spare old Freddy head and use the flashlight, Jeremy experienced his first spectral encounter, as Marionette, Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica tried to attack him. Although only the Puppet was haunted, the three AIs became aggressive due to joining a coup staged against Jeremy by the oversoul of chaos possessing Balloon Boy. He survived the night without much trouble.

On **November 9th**, during Jeremy's second shift, Phone Guy called him again. He told him about the old animatronics, what became of them, to use the mask if they show up, his love for Foxy the Pirate, how he won't be tricked by the spare Freddy head, how to use flashlight in order to fight off the machines, reminded Jeremy about music box, went on about his dislike for Marionette. During this night, Fritz Notsmith, haunting Foxy, would join BB's coup, with Balloon Boy, though not feeling like killing Jeremy themselves, helping the old fox out by attempting to steal Jeremy's batteries. Jeremy was still doing decently at that point.

On **November 10th**, during Jeremy's third shift, Phone Guy asked about if Foxy had appeared in the hallway, told Jeremy about the new Foxy, how it came to be known as "The Mangle" by other employees, and assure him that all the rumors and local stories have no biases in reality, with the establishment definitely not being haunted. The ghost count of BB's coup had jumped again that night, with Gabriel Johnson (haunting Freddy Fazbear), Lil Jeremy Fitzgerald (haunting Bonnie) and Susie Smith (haunting Chica) joining in. The Mangle would get recruited as well, although curiously enough T. Freddy had seemingly left group, not moving once that night. Things started getting stressful that night.

On **November 11th**, during Jeremy's fourth shift, Phone Guy congratulated him for doing nice work, updated him about the ongoing investigation, how they would probably be forced to close for a few days, but this being just baseless precaution with FazEnt denying any wrongdoings and not to look animatronics in the eyes that night, as someone had seemingly tampered with their facial recognition, seemingly being the cause of them creepily staring at adult patrons. The tampering seemed to have caused Toys not to even show up that night, seemingly having T. Bonnie and T. Chica leave BB's coup like T. Freddy had the night before.

On **November 12th**, during Jeremy's fifth shift, Phone Guy congratulated him about making it to night 5, asked him to keep a closed eye on things, explained how the building was on lock down, how no previous employees were allowed in, how after this they would probably move him to the day shift, which had just become available, and how the management is still trying to contact the original restaurant owner of Fredbear's. This night BB also seemed to have solved their issues out with T. Freddy, T. Bonnie and T. Chica, as all the previous ghosts and AIs would be active that night. Things were very stressful during this haunting, but Jeremy still managed to beat BB.

Later that day, he would get his first paycheck, welcoming him to Fazbear Family with the minimal wage for his work hours.

On **November 13th**, during Jeremy's sixth shift, Phone Guy called Jeremy surprised to find out he even came to work, as he was sent a memo about the place now being closed down, at least for a while, since someone used a spare yellow suit on the back, with one more event having been scheduled for the next day, Phone Guy then moving Jeremy to the day shift, asking him to make sure animatronics don't hurt anyone. This paranormal encounter was extremely stressful, with all of BB's allies getting very aggressive and a new one, Golden Freddy, joining in. Against all odds, however, Jeremy managed to miraculously survive.

Later that day, he would get his second paycheck, with just $0.10 overtime in addition to the additionally worked hours.

On **November 14th**, as Jeremy was on day shift, BB decided they wouldn't let him off that easily and proceeded to publicly attack him, biting out his frontal lobe.

Fortunately, thanks to Doctor, Jeremy's brain was able to grow back by **December**. He lost the job, though, since this accident lead to the place shutting down.

### 90's

In **1993**, after Michael Afton returned from collage, he and Jeremy resumed their Uno sessions. They soon fell apart, however, after Jeremy went on a rant about how British people cannot exist. He talked about how they must be a meme, how there isn't a single thing about them, how there is no country named "Britain", how if something called "England" was inside Britain they would be called "Englanders" not "British", how the theories about them coming from whales are silly, how the consensus bout them being from Europe is nothing due to continent's size and since every country aside from that mythical Britain has its own dish, like US' hamburgers, and Britain is only associated with tea, which is Asian, debunking them existing in Europe, how there is no British language, with all supposed British people speaking a broken English, outright challenging Mike to find a Brit speaking in their native language, putting "all his money and his ass on the line", since after checking if British just sounded like English, googling British dictionary, he had found that every word was American, leading him to safely assuring Mike that British people do not exist.

Mike, as an Anglo-American, simply responded with "What the FUCK?" and left.

### Pizza Place management

In **June 2023**, Jeremy applied for the position of manager at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, being the fourth one to do so. Little has been shown about his attempt at running the business. Eventually he bought Egg Baby, which lead him to finding data archive inside/packaged together with the giant plastic Matryoshka Doll. Listening to it revealed Henry Emily's secret diary, where he admits to only now realizing what horrors he caused by trusting William, unwillingly helping him, finding out about the ghosts and how he needs to stop it, calling them all to one place. Not wanting anyone to find out about his plan, Henry lobotomized Jeremy, with just a *hummer* and *some other tool the name of which I do not know*, in order to convince Hurricane about Jeremy's insanity, even giving him a certificate of it.

### Future

Nothing has been teased about Jeremy himself being involved in the future UCFT episodes, however seeing as Fritz Smith will be part of the new Fazbear Entertainment, it's reasonable to assume that Jeremy might as well, his brain likely to grow back again. If that happens, judging by the bloodline head trauma curse and Fitzgerald family's affinity for naming every member Jeremiah, it is very likely for the upcoming character of Jeremy from Help Wanted to be Jeremy II's son, or grandson, likely hired through nepotism.

## Speculation

* Jeremy is seen vandalizing Freddy's Location #2 before applying for a job. This could hint at him holding a grudge against the company due to his brother going missing.
	+ This may also be the reason for him staying the additional night against Henry's wishes.
* It is possible that, although it never happened, Jeremy giving Michael's non-existent brother a mild concussion might have been the cause of Fitzgerald bloodline's head trauma curse.

## Trivia

* According to the ooftroop, Jeremy is silly.
	+ This may be why he became a Brit-truther.
