Friend in the Black Market: Difference between revisions

Personality wise, like Honest John, they can fit anywhere into the [[Character Alignment]] spectrum. (Although the fact they deal in quality products usually puts them at least chaotic neutral.) If the character is part of the main cast, then they'll usually be Chaotic or Neutral Good. In a war situation, they also tend to [[Screw the War Were Partying|screw it and party]], unless the action is centered on the military in which case they'll be [[The Scrounger|doing this work on the side]].

* Private Walker, the spiv in ''[[Dads Army (TV)|Dads Army]]''.

** And when that didn't work, more than a couple times Father Mulcahy was the go-between between the camp and the ''actual'' black market.

* The ''[[Spyro the Dragon]]'' series has Moneybags, who will perform various services for you for, "* ahem* , a small fee." It's usually anything but small (not to mention sometimes the price is insane for what he does), but if you want to finish the game, let alone get [[Hundred Percent Completion]], you'll have to pay up.

** You {{spoiler|[[Pay Evil Unto Evil|get your]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|money back]]}}.

* [[Soul Brotha|Drebin]] in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots]]'' is named for ''[[The Naked Gun (Film)|The Naked Gun]]'' character due to what he sells; 'naked guns' - the arms he sells are not ID-Locked, and so can be used by anybody, which comes in very handy for Snake. Also plays the [[Big Damn Heroes|Big Damn Hero]] at times, and serves as [[Mr. Exposition]] in relation to the backstories of [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|the Beauty and the Beast Corps.]]

* In ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'', Irish and Seth are this for Nigel West Dickens. Of course, West Dickens is a [[Snake Oil Salesman]].
