Actor: Jackie Earle Haley, Ref: Human Target

Concept

The King's Shadowy Fixer

Tropes

Born to low-born servants to the king's household, raised up in and around the royal court—seems like he's always been lurking at Castle Royal in some capacity. His parents are both long deceased.
Married 4+ times, though not currently. Has five daughters he knows of (and one he doesn't), three of whom are legitimate
Served as seneschal under the King's father for some years, and was kept on after His Majesty acceded to the throne. He is well liked and trusted by the king, though not so much by many at court.
He has an informant network he calls his “Little Birds.”

Primary: Has become the subject of Heirant Pompus' late efforts to rid the king's court of "bad influences"; the Heirant's open condemnation, and related gossip/suspicion is making it difficult to do his "real job" of finding out secret threats.
Secondary: Freed by the death of his lover's husband, he is now able to be seen openly with her, though it might be seen as inappropriate so soon, and some might question whether her husband was "helped along"
