Lord Esterwall Fitch is a Gilnean noble of the House of Fitch from the Fallow Crest. Having escaped to the Ashen Coast during the Forsaken invasion and later escaping Gilneas completely during the Orc attack, Fitch has always been a survivor. A cunning man, he later found himself amongst Lord Xavier Greydon's courtiers and later served as a councilman to Godrick Darkwater along with Simeon Houndsbane, Adam Finnick, Eylas Tolert, and Taren Borin.

Irritated with the lack of Godrick's early progress in nobility and management of the Range and his disregard for his responsibilities, Esterwall, alongside several other councilmen, laid the foundations for the First Range Rebellion. Esterwall personally waylaid Oliver Greydon upon his return, allowing the other councilmen to use Oliver's name for their own schemes while he was misled by Simeon Houndsbane in Hound's Ward. While not all of the councilmen supported the scheme, such as Adam, Fitch was able to bribe Taren and convinced Eylas. However, the councilmen were betrayed by one of their own. Near the apex of the scheme, Simeon Houndsbane locked them away and took full control, later leading to the Second Range Rebellion during which he took control of Oliver Greydon using the magic of Ca'ries.

The councilmen were later freed, and Fitch presented himself and the other councilmen to Liara Houndsbane as having not involved themselves in the two rebellions. He and Taren plotted to manipulate the baroness, although they soon found out she wasn't quite as pliable as they thought and decided to assassinate her instead, planning on having Simeon's bastard son Kryen legitimized. However, their plan was revealed by one of their former co-conspirators, Councilman Eylas Tolert. Always concerned with the management of lands rather than who controls them, he revealed the plan to Liara along with the council's involvement under Simeon.

Following the failed assassination attempt that led to Taren's death, Fitch fled to his final holdout, an old villa just past the Greymane Wall, hidden away on the border of Forsaken territory. Led there by Eylas, members of the Blades attempted to take him into custody by sneaking in with the help of former General Thargear Whitebraid, who defected from his forces along with most of his guardsmen. The Blades attempted to arrest him by capturing Esterwall's son Casseric, but after Cladriah Felweaver accidentally knocked him out in a manner that looked like he was dead, Esterwall went berserk, drinking the contents of a vial that mutated him, and the Blades were forced to fight him.

Ever the survivor, however, he was merely on the brink of death was left for dead by the Blades, who were forced to evacuate as a result of the commotion of the fight attracting the attention of a nearby Forsaken force. Esterwall made his escape, but he was later captured and incarcerated in Gryphonvale for his crimes. However, following a prison breakout orchestrated by the Crimson Hive to liberate the disgraced ex-Inquisitor Genevieve Halifax, Esterwall was found to be unaccounted for when order was restored.
