Fitz Baldwin

**Fitzsimmons Baldwin**, better known as **Fitz**, is Scion of the Line of Bors, eleventh-ranked.

## Biography

### Early History

Fitz is a student as UNC. He chose Evan Cooper as his Squire last year. William Sitterson says that Fitz and his family's way of viewing things, with resentment, is considered dishonorable in the Order.

### *Legendborn*

Bree Matthews is introduced to Fitz when she sneaks into the Lodge as Nick Davis' Page. Fitz sponsors Vaughn Schaefer to be a Page. He subtly teases Nick and welcomes him back.

When the Shadowborn attacks the initiation ceremony Fitz fights with his Squire Evan. They attempt to protect Nick but he breaks away. After the attack, Fitz becomes frustrated and calls out the high-ranking Scions for ignoring the war. He's angry at the higher ranked Legendborn because they "get to play around and pretend they're not actually at war, while the rest of the lower-ranked are Awakened and dying every other year." He tells the group that Camlann is coming, whether they want to believe it or not. Despite not being a fan of Bree, when he realizes how little she knows about the Order, Fitz says that he doesn't care if Nick is king, he needs a talking-to for bringing a Page forward without telling her anything.

Throughout the trials Fitz consistently shows support for Vaughn despite already having a bonded Squire. He watches the first trial with the other Legendborn. He goes with the group to Tap Rail the night before the second trial. At the second trial, Fitz is paired with Sydney Hall to monitor her progress on the scavenger hunt. He watches the third trial with the other Legendborn.

Fitz is sullen at the Selection Gala. He's upset Nick made Vaughn sit on the opposite side of the room from the rest of the group. He tries to defend Vaughn, saying he's a good fighter and the Shadowborn don't fight fair either.

He is unnerved by Bree's presence when she returns to the Lodge after Lord Davis had told them she quit. Fitz, Evan, and Bree pair up to take one of the underground tunnels to get to the Cave of the Dragon. While by a giant, deep ravine, they are attacked by imps. Fitz is gouged repeatedly in the chest before an imp hooks its claws into him. He lifts him over the ravine, and while laughing with a sound like nails on a chalkboard, drops him to his death.
