ABOUT THE SERIES
First Look:
J.C.Bannister is a contract assassin.
He prefers words like 'solutionist' which is an actual real word (I looked it up) but it is used far more often for people who solve puzzles, not people who kill people. Bannister's take on the matters is "Sometimes the solution to a person's problem is a dead body. Sometimes dead bodies occur on the path to said solution. But killing is rarely the goal. Solving the problem is."
Bannister is really good at solving problems. He modestly attributes his success to working "with a loose team of other specialists whose skills compliment my own. Where I have deficiencies, they have strengths, and vice versa". He further specifies to a client that he does not "kill indiscriminately. There are lines that I will not cross".
Bannister is a former Army Ranger who was taught how to kill by the military and more or less when to kill by the Agency. He learned how to make it all profitable mostly on his own.
He has three very close friends working with him and having his back and so much more. Duke, Joan, and Kowalski make up Bannister's team and together they are one heckuva force.

The Fixer: Season 1
Written by Rex Carpenter

J.C. Bannister was no stranger to killing, for country or for money. When he is offered to kill a U.S. Senator for a good deal of money, he might have accepted the contract if the politician was not a friend. Before anything was agreed upon, Bannister and his people were double-crossed and on the run from just about everybody. So the time was right to find the ones behind it all.

The Fixer: Season 4
Written by Rex Carpenter

It would take quite a bit for J.C.Bannister to accept a job that took into the most inhospitable country in the world, North Korea. But the money was good and so was the need to get out of the way for a while, considering he had several people out to kill him at home.
