History Main / TheFixer

** An Iranian helps them evacuate most of the EDS staff when the revolution starts, but gets a small tip so refuses to have anything further to do with them. One of the executives makes a formal apology and places a large sum of cash on the table to reestablish relationships.

* This is the role of Ash "Three Socks" Morgan in ''Series/{{Hustle}}''. Whatever the team needs to sell the tale, Ash provides: websites, fake antiques, an empty stately home, dead rats, etc.

* Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck from ''Series/TheATeam'' does this, but like Sam Axe above, he also gets his hands dirty.

* ''Series/{{Breaking Bad}}''. Saul Goodman is this to Walt and Jesse, and Mike is this to Saul.
* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Wilson Fisk has a few fixers on his payroll. In season 1, the role belongs to James Wesley, who is responsible for intimidating and strongarming Fisk's enemies and underlings. After Wesley's death at the hands of Karen Page, the fixer duties are given to [[EvilBrit Felix Manning]], who spends season 3 taking on both Wesley's and Leland Owlsley's old duties (as a strongarm and money man, respectively). Though Felix is quick to say when intimidating Karen in her attempt to talk to him that 'fixer' isn't how he thinks of himself.
-->'''Felix Manning:''' Off the record, you are incorrect. About what I do for a living. I don't fix problems. [[ImpliedDeathThreat I make them disappear.]]
* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' has an arc involving a fixer named Ann Steele and a flash drive on which she keeps records of all the movers and shakers in NYC whose problems she makes disappear. She gets killed and someone steals her flash drive from the evidence locker. A sleazy newspaper magnate then begins publishing dirt on various politicians she'd worked for, including the Chief of Detectives. He'd sexually harassed his secretary, who threatened to sue him, Steele had "fixed" it, but word gets out after the theft, and The Chief's wife leaves him over it.

* The 5th Edition of ''TabletopGame/BloodBowl'' introduces the (In)Famous Couching Staff character Fink da Fixer, a highly intelligent goblin who is renowned for getting his colleagues absolutely anything they want a few seconds before they want it. In-game, Fink's abilities count as three regular assistant coaches and he has the special ability that help with bribing the referee.

* In the online detective game ''Sleuth'', your character's license as a PrivateDetective will be revoked if you make three wrongful accusations. However, you can go to the shady character who hangs out in the back of the downtown bar and pay them to clear your record to avoid this. The more often this happens, though, the more expensive it gets. The flash version of the game specifically calls this character The Fixer.

* Maku the Fixer in the ''Blade of Galadriel'' DLC of ''Videogame/MiddleEarthShadowOfWar'' is an orc who serves as a general troubleshooter and problem solver for other Orcs. For some reason, he decides to throw in with Eltariel and act as her lieutenant, helping her formulate plans and sabotage her enemies.
* Both Neville and Samson in ''Videogame/NeedForSpeed Carbon'' are classified as fixers. Neville prevents the heat level of an area from rising after races whereas Samson lowers the heat level of player-controlled territories. They also provide cash bonuses for winning races.
* The main character in ''VideoGame/Persona5''. His tasks, outside of leading his team, include dealing with ex-yakuza for weapon modifications, cutting deals with back-alley doctors for experimental drugs and manipulating the newspapers.
* In ''Videogame/Cyberpunk2077'', Fixers are underworld figures who serve as middlemen between mercs and the people who hire them. They serve as a source of sidemissions for the player character and the story is kicked off by attracting the attention of a particularly prominent Fixer who hires them for a big heist that inevitably goes awry.

* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', Harry is an important figure in Chicago because he's the most knowledgeable and neutral consultant there for all things supernatural. (There are more knowledgeable people, but they demand things like souls or political allegiance in exchange for any help they provide.) Want a cure for werewolf fleas? He can do that. Want to get in touch with the mafia? He can do that. Want to kill a child-devouring monster that predates electric lighting? [[{{Badass}} He can do that.]] This is one reason why [[spoiler:his death]] in ''Changes'' causes so much trouble; it's not that Chicago's groups are any less strong individually, but he was the guy keeping them all in contact, and now the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing.

* Pretty much Sam's job in ''Series/BurnNotice'', he provides Michael with the tools he needs to do his work, as well as using his many "buddies" to get info from legal channels. Unlike most fixers, Sam actually does do fieldwork too.
* Private Walker from ''Series/DadsArmy'' is the town spiv, being able to get pretty much anything off the black market. He often wrangles the other characters into storing or buying his wares.

* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Wilson Fisk has a few fixers on his payroll. In season 1, the role belongs to James Wesley, who is responsible for intimidating and strongarming Fisk's enemies and underlings. After Wesley's death at the hands of Karen Page, the fixer duties are given to [[EvilBrit Felix Manning]], who spends season 3 basically taking on both Wesley's and Leland Owlsley's old duties (as a strongarm and money man, respectively). Though Felix is quick to say when intimidating Karen in her attempt to talk to him that 'fixer' isn't how he thinks of himself.

* The Imperial Intelligence in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' has an entire division of "Fixer" agents (Fixer One, Fixer Two, etc.) who have various technical expertise and take it to the field to assist more action oriented agents, like the Ciphers. Fixers are usually the ones to provide Ciphers (including the PlayerCharacter of the Imperial Agent storyline) with technical means and support for their infiltrations, with companion character Dr. Lokin being a [[RetiredBadass formerly retired Fixer]] turned MadScientist.

* The main character in ''VideoGame/Persona5''. His tasks, outside of leading his team, include dealing with ex-yakuza for weapon modifications, cutting deals with back-alley doctors for experimental drugs and even manipulating the newspapers.

Call up your Fixer if you need a fake storefront for a day, convincing counterfeit money, {{squib}}s for the blow-off, a credible-looking Ming vase to con an art dealer, or a CIA-grade cellphone jammer. You also call them in as a consultant if you need to know how to get fake passports, find a BackAlleyDoctor to do an emergency operation, remove an ankle monitor, or... well, anything else of an illegal nature that needs "fixing". The weirder, the better. Live {{jackalope}}s, a specialty.

* Big Hollywood studios use fixers to smooth over their movie stars' sex scandals and boozy misadventures. A brown envelope here, a call to a Police Commissioner there, and the problem vanishes.
