Claim to Fame
Leopold Fitz is one of the brightest scientists and engineers in the world.
Reputation
Outside of S.H.I.E.L.D., not much is known about Fitz outside of his home town in Scotland. Within the organization, however, he's known as one of their youngest, best, and brightest engineers. Many an agent would love to have him on the team, but you'd better not separate him from Simmons, or you'll have a mess on your hands.
Biography
Leopold "Leo" Fitz was born in Scotland, United Kingdom. His only known relative is his mother. As he grew up, it became quickly apparent that he possessed a genius-level intellect, and worked his way through school quickly, graduating two years ahead of others his age.
He was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., given citizenship, and attended the organization's Academy of Science and Technology. It was there where he became friends with the equally-intelligent, bio-chem expert, Jemma Simmons. They soon became best friends, the attached-at-the-hip type, and eventually earned the nickname 'Fitzsimmons' from their peers.
Both Fitz and Simmons graduated from the academy three years early. Fitz would have been happy to spend all of his time in a lab. However, at the urging of Simmons (and against the advice of Professor Vaughn), the pair put in for a field position.

Character Details
Leopold Fitz is somewhat socially awkward, and he's virtually joined at the hip to his best friend, Jemma Simmons. In spite of his awkwardness, he occasionally surprises others with a clever wit and dry sense of humor. He also has a strange affinity for monkeys.
In spite of his lacking in the combat arena and field experience, he possesses a remarkable level of bravery. While he can be scatterbrained, he is also an extremely quick thinker. He believes deeply in the friendships he creates, and is loyal to the core. He also holds a deep rooted belief that all villains are redeemable, and that people are never "born evil". Thus, he tends to be quick to forgive and understanding of others' problems.
Fitz also tends to go through with his promises… and his threats. If given to violence, you may not need to worry about his fists, but you'd damn well better worry about what he creates.
In spite of what others might think, his relationship with Jemma Simmons has been and very well may always be completely platonic. He cares about her like a twin sister, and he would do anything for her, but romance has always simply been, well, not a factor.
Engineer |
Leo is a brilliant scientist and engineer. His intelligence is well into genius level, and he's capable of developing virtually any kind of technology, given the right resources. Even with limited resources, he's able to perform feats of engineering brilliance in very short periods of time. |
Shield Training |
While Fitz is far from a field agent, he has undergone the basic training in weapons and self defense required of every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. He also has a firm understanding of the organization's rules and protocols. He may not carry himself as one who could fire a gun or defend himself in a fight, but he's not completely defenseless when it comes to fisticuffs. |
Logical |
As a genius-level scientist, Fitz tends to think of life in the order of logic. This gives him the ability to think through any situation logically, without necessarily overreacting on an emotional basis. |
Actor |
Fitz is, surprisingly, a very good actor. He's able to perform various accents and play a role convincingly, which may be his one redeemable asset in the field. |
Simmons |
One of Leo's greatest advantages is his close friend and work partner, Jemma Simmons. They've known each other for a long time, and have developed a strong partnership. Leo may be a brilliant scientist on his own, but when he's working with Simmons, he's that much better. |
Shield Resources |
As an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fitz has virtually limitless resources to work with. He just needs to get clearance for those pesky requisitions, is all. |
Disarming |
By all appearances, Leopold Fitz is absolutely harmless, which is for the most part true. People tend not to expect how ruthless and efficient his creations can be. |
Socially Awkward |
While Fitz may come off as perfectly normal to other genius-level scientists, in most social settings he seems a bit weird. |
Scatterbrained |
Without a project or a job to work on, Fitz is extremely scatterbrained. He'll go without meals, he might miss his dentist appointment, or worse, he might make a tactical error because he just can't stop thinking about his most recent invention. |
Mortal |
Fitz is a mere mortal, with no superpowers, in a field of work that often puts him directly into the path of dangerous metahumans. Even though he's not a field agent, he's always at risk of being put into harm's way. |
Inexperienced |
Fitz simply does not have a lot of field experience. If he's forced to leave the lab and go into the field, he's bound to make any number of mistakes that might jeopardize the mission. |
Simmons |
When separated from his best friend, Jemma Simmons, Fitz often finds himself at a disadvantage. Without their nerdy banter, he finds it harder to focus, and feels a general lack of confidence when she isn't around. He also worries incessantly about her when she's not in his presence. |
Phobias |
Fitz has a number of phobias which all center around germs. For example, he doesn't like corpses, especially when they are in his lab. |

Night-Night Gun (Rifle) |
|
Projectile Weapon |
The Night-Night Gun is a prototype tranquilizer rifle manufactured by Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz. The rifle fires non-lethal bullets with heavy stopping power that break up under the subcutaneous tissue. From there, the bullets deliver a tiny amount of dendrotoxin, incapacitating the target long enough for them to be secured and with no harmful side effects. (Not Cleared for Field Use) |

Type |
Golden Retriever drones (aka 'seekers') |
|
Automated Drone |
The "Golden Retrievers" are mobile independent tracking drones created by Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons. These independent, airborne tracking devices disperse in different directions while searching for their programmed target. They scan for visual data, scent, heat signatures and biological signatures, and are also equipped with a debilitating "scream mode". |

|

The D.W.A.R.F.s (Drones Wirelessly Automated to Retrieve Forensics) are a set of quad-copter robotic drones custom designed by Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons to seek out, analyze and scan forensic evidence at S.H.I.E.L.D. hot-spots. The drones are controlled from a specially designed tablet from which the operator can control the drones movements and organize, classify and prioritize the incoming data. |
