Personal Life
Early Life
Born in the picturesque town of Huntsboro, nestled in the Goh River Valley, in the Harpersville Municipality, Fitzroy spent his youth helping his father tend the family’s herd of goats. Fitzroy attended the parish’s school located in Matherinesville, roughly 10 km from the farm. In primary and secondary school, he showed immense aptitude in history, law, and politics.
Seemingly bored of the herding lifestyle and wanting better for his and his family’s lives in the latter years of his teens, Fitzroy chose to enroll in the University of Noursala’s Law School. A seemingly impossible prospect for a simple farm boy as he was, he was surprisingly sponsored by religious leaders in Matherinesville Parish to attend the University.
Early Career
After obtaining his Doctorate in Law, Fitzroy joined the Berkwitz Law Group, based in Bergen. He became one of the key members in their Appellate Division, handling cases in the Appeals Courts of both the Bergen and Noursala municipalities.
His most famous victory from this point was the case of Justin Ceresa. Ceresa, a steelworker belonging to Gold Star Steel Corp., became paralyzed from the waist down after a catwalk collapsed in their Syrenea plant. The municipal court of Syrenea ruled in favor of Gold Star, Fitzroy managed to get the verdict overturned, and Ceresa was awarded F15 Million in compensation. This move became one of the final nails in the coffin of Gold Star Steel Corp. went bankrupt, and its assets amalgamated into the Noursala Military-Industrial Company.
Entry into Politics
After a 23 year career at the Berkwitz Law Group, Fitzroy was selected to become a judge in the Municipal Court of Harperville. However, after a five year period, he resigned his position and ran for the National Assembly seat of Matherinesville on the Reform Bloc ticket. Winning the seat, he traveled to Noursala to claim his seat in the Assembly, taking his oath of office.in late 1718 AN.
