* ''Literature/TheHalfMadeWorld'': John Creedmoor begins the book as one of these, with the added wrinkle that his [[CapitalLettersAreMagix Gun]], Marmion, is a magical EvilWeapon (one of many) and technically his boss. Previously a famous outlaw, he “retired” to wander the West after the last mission Marmion sent him on ended so badly it soured him on working for the Gun ever again. Surprisingly, it let him live peacefully for years, only to pull him back in for OneLastJob. Creedmoor is torn between how much he dislikes being an Agent of the Gun and how much he enjoys the power and freedom it grants him.
