Fitch

When Scott gave me this painting I honestly had no recollection of who he was, which is a little surprising since I remember most of the characters with names...but Fitch...I had no clue. So I had to look him up.

Fitch is the editor of The Evening Bulletin, a San Francisco newspaper which was printed in 1859 (actually 1855-1895). He is the editor who received and printed the letter from Joshua Norton proclaiming himself to be the Emperor Of The United States.
