"Power is not meant for saving the weak. Why you ask? Because making money is all about exploiting them. Even if you use that money to help the powerless, it's simply one more jaunt around the revolving door. Power must be used for loftier goals." — Fitzgerald to Atsushi

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (フランシス・スコット・キー・フィッツジェラルド,, Furanshisu Sukotto Kī Fittsujerarudo^?) is the latest leader of the American organization known as the Guild until its eventual dissolution and split, upon which he currently leads the Renewed Guild. His ability name is known as The Great Fitzgerald.

Appearance

Fitzgerald is a tall and slender man who has short combed blonde hair, and clear blue eyes. He wears a properly buttoned pink shirt with a tie, and creamy yellow tailored suit and trousers. When his ability is activated, green tattoo-like stripes appear all over his body and outfit.

After the Guild war, he wears a brown suit over his black long sleeve polo shirt and a cream colored tie.

Personality

Being the wealthy person that he is, Fitzgerald is very proud, boasting about his fortunes very often. He is extremely arrogant and possesses a lot of confidence in himself.

He dislikes when his offers are rejected. But he is a determined man who would do anything in order to get what he wants.

Nevertheless, he is not outright evil, because it's seen that he cares about his subordinates, always taking the best course of action for their safety, and he does even more for his family, caring genuinely about his beloved wife and his deceased daughter.

Ability

Main article: The Great Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald's ability, The Great Fitzgerald (華 (か)麗 (れい)なるフィッツジェラルド,, Kareinaru Fittsujerarudo^?) allows Fitzgerald to gain more physical power according to the money he spent; while the final battle over the Moby Dick, Francis showed strength, speed, agility, and endurance far beyond the human level. Simply by throwing off his cheques is also counted as 'spending' his wealth and activating his ability. It is noted that to activate his ability, it is not restricted to his own wealth, or even to something that cont as money itself, like a wedding ring.

Francis is also a moderated hand-to-hand fighter, as showed against Atsushi and Akutagawa when he combated just bare hands.

Background

Fitzgerald mentions that "before being rich," implying that he was poor, he worked for two whole years in order to buy a gun; later, he killed four people to get more money.

At some point, he married a woman named Zelda and had a daughter. Nevertheless, his daughter died, and unable to accept this, Zelda fell ill and still believes that she's still studying abroad. Resolved to bring her back to life with the power of the Book, he plans to raid Yokohama in order to find it to bring happiness to his family once again.

It is known that he is the owner of three conglomerates and five hotels under his name; and an airline, and a railway company.
