Jeremy Fitzgerald (1968 - 2024), later known as Fritz Glade or Fritz, is the overall main protagonist of the POPGOES fangame series.

He is the deuteragonist of the POPGOES 2016 continuity, serving as the deuteragonist of POPGOES, the posthumous overarching protagonist of its cancelled sequel POPGOES 2: The Dead Forest, and the main protagonist of POPGOES Finale. He is an inventor who is the manager of the Popgoes Pizzeria.

As a teenager, he used to be a nightguard at Freddy Fazbear's New Pizzeria during the events of Five Nights at Freddy's 2. During his final shift, in an incident known as the "Bite of '87", he was bitten by Toy Bonnie. He lost his frontal lobe in the bite, but was healed by his older twin brother Simon, though this was done by transferring the blood of multiple children Simon murdered into him.

After the pizzeria was closed for good, Jeremy renamed himself as Fritz to avoid bad publicity from the media, before moving to the United Kingdom, where he would marry and have a daughter, whom he would name Bonnie to get over his trauma from the bite. However, he would accidentally kill her after she triggered his trauma. Years later, after discovering that Simon had become Springtrap and died, Fritz decided to open the Popgoes Pizzeria.

He is voiced by James Roberts.

Background
Jeremy Fitzgerald and his twin brother Simon were in November 1968 in Texas. He was considered by many to be an optimistic yet unlucky boy, in contrast to his pessimistic yet lucky brother. Growing up, Jeremy became a massive fan of the Freddy Fazbear restaurants, collecting toys from the separate locations. Unaware to him, Simon went on a killing spree, murdering many children at the restaurants with the intent of extracting their blood to extend his own life.

In 1987, a 19-year-old Jeremy took up the job of nightguard at Freddy Fazbear's New Pizzeria. During his work week, he encountered the animatronics possessed by the victims of Simon.

Appearance
Fritz is a middle-aged man with light skin and black hair. He has a moustache and stubble covering his chin. He wears a brown jacket and trousers, a white shirt and a black tie. He also wears a black bandana to cover up his scar from the Bite of '87.
