What a Fixer Does

Information Broker: Fixers often gather and sell information, whether it’s finding out secrets about a competitor, identifying someone’s location, or learning about upcoming deals or events in the underworld.

Problem Solver: If someone has a “problem” they want to disappear, fixers handle it. This can range from locating missing people to managing threats or blackmailing someone to keep quiet. Fixers often take on tasks that others don’t want to be publicly associated with.

Connector: Fixers know people in all corners of society. They act as intermediaries between clients and individuals who have specific skills or resources, like smugglers, hackers, or mercenaries.

Negotiator and Mediator: Fixers can act as neutral parties in deals, ensuring both sides get what they need and diffusing tense situations. They may also help settle disputes that could otherwise spiral into violence or larger problems.

Handler of “Dirty Work”: Fixers sometimes deal with unsavory tasks, like cleaning up after crimes, disposing of evidence, or arranging alibis. They don’t typically handle the “muscle” work themselves but know who to hire to make problems disappear.
