- "After I take you, I'll take her. Oh, yeah, and her time. And then I'll collect my reward for making everything right in the world."
- ―Fortis' future plans
Fortis was a street thug who would, along with his gang, the Minutemen, steal as much time as they could from the citizens of Dayton. So long as they only target the lower-class citizens of Dayton, the Timekeepers would not bother them.
Fortis first appeared in the bar when Henry Hamilton attempts to spend all his years. Fortis noticed him and challenged him to a time fight. Before the fight could start, Will intervened and saved Henry. Fortis and his men lose sight of them and drive off, disappointed.
Fortis and his Minutemen make a brief reappearance when Will and Sylvia become wanted fugitives. Fortis discovered the pair after a car crash knocks them unconscious. While the two are incapacitated, Fortis noticed Sylvia's time and steals her decade, promising to share it with his men. However, before Fortis could completely zero out Sylvia, he noticed the Timekeepers approaching, Fortis was forced to stop early, leaving Sylvia with half an hour of time left.
Eventually, through torture and murder, Fortis tracked down Will and Sylvia to a motel. Despite his upper hand, Fortis challenged Will to a time fight. During the fight, Will uses his father's strategy to let his clock nearly reach zero. Fortis and his men were distracted long enough for Will to pull out a concealed gun and shoot the guards. Will then simply waited for Fortis to time out and die.
