Recruiting the Criminal	comment	Sometimes the criminals make the best heroes. They don't have reservations on certain things such as "morals" and they have no qualms with going around the proper channels to accomplish their goals. But since they also have skills that have gone around the more natural education system, they are brought in as specialists. There is practically a built-in subtrope here specifically where hackers are brought in to do some uber-hacking for the good guys. Supertrope to Boxed Crook, when they are offered immediate freedom upon succeeding at a Suicide Mission, and To Catch Heroes, Hire Villains, tasking The Hero's former foes to bring them to justice. Compare Trading Bars for Stripes, where freedom is offered after going through a tour of military duty (although in that case, it is more because they are "expendable" than just because of their skills). See also Condemned Contestant, Doctor von Turncoat, Consulting a Convicted Killer. Contrast Reformed Criminal, when the character serves the law because of a genuine Heelâ€“Face Turn. One inversion is From Camouflage to Criminal, where a member of the military turns to a life of crime after leaving the service; when the soldier-turned-criminal is the protagonist (especially one who was persecuted or wrongfully convicted, e.g., Rambo, The A-Team), expect this to get doubly inverted with their former commander trying to make a deal with them. Another inversion is Hired by the Oppressor, when a group of Hired Guns are hired by, well, an oppressive faction, for certain goals, and rewarded. Sometimes overlaps with the Token Evil Teammate, depending on how self-serving they actually are.

One such mission type is to hunt down a notorious criminal hanging around. Often, when brought to low enough health, they will surrender and ask you to put your weapon away to accept. Sometimes they are then recruitable as ship crew for your spaceship... or they call you an idiot and summon in allies to help finish you off.

He claims the only reason Soul Society hasn't executed them already is because of their combat prowess. Unohana agrees. Kisuke Urahara's backstory shows that he recruited Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who was at that point locked up in solitary confinement, as his personal research assistant, with the clincher being that were he to die, Mayuri would become Captain.

So she requests that the bosun find her some people with, ah, personal familiarity with the smuggling process instead. (One of whom becomes a series mainstay and, among other things, uses his sneakiness and computer hacking prowess to pull off a truly phenomenal rescue later on. So good move there.)

While he continues to nurse his mortal grudge against Bart and winds up escaping before he can be imprisoned again, he does help Homer as intended and successfully brings the other criminal to justice. Principal Skinner has been known to recruit noted hellraiser Bart Simpson against the rest of the school's ne'er-do-wells. In "Separate Vocations" Bart temporarily gains the Yellow Sash of Power by busting petty criminals around the school, while 24 parody "24 Minutes" sees him being pulled from detention to aid an all-hands-on-deck effort to prevent bully trio Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney from ruining the school bake sale.

A criminal that used stolen 3D Maneuver Gear to commit crimes, his skill caught the attention of Erwin and resulted in Levi's gang being hunted down. After being given An Offer You Can't Refuse, Levi was recruited directly into the Survey Corps and would eventually become Erwin's Number Two and humanity's strongest soldier. Kenny Ackerman, Levi's uncle, gained a reputation as a Serial Killer due to his efforts to protect his relatives from the Secret Police hunting them down. When he tried to assassinate the king, he was swiftly defeated. Rather than kill him, the king instead made Kenny the leader of the very same Secret Police who had hunted him. He and Kenny also became friends and confidants.

The two end up in jail and are given a choice: be Power Rangers or rot in jail. Z readily accepted and Jack reluctantly followed later. In fact, Jack was given the red ranger powers, to the annoyance of Sky. When assembling a team of treasure-hunters as the Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, Andrew Hartford included the thief Will Aston for his skills. Given the franchise's usual approach to morality, we're supposed to assume he's a Reformed Criminal, but it was never specified - during a 10-Minute Retirement, he was shown doing a legit job testing a place's security, meaning it's entirely possible that he's a professional security systems tester.

In both cases, part of the task at hand is surviving a murderous fraudulent enterprise tangentially connected to both, thus making Moist ideal for the job. Vetinari did this on a grand scale with the Thieves' Guild. Some form of thieves' guild had already existed in Ankh-Morpork, but Vetinari made them responsible for theft in the city, with a professional structure and quotas on thieving. They also have to, and quite take pride in, reducing unofficial theft in the city. Turns out they're much better at reducing crime than the Watch ever were, because all they have to do is work less. It does help too that they have no rules about how they treat unlicensed thieves, who can count themselves extremely lucky if the Watch catches them before the Guild does.

Recruiting the Criminal / int_629cd094	comment	Dragon Age: Origins, You recruit Sten (who has been locked up to die of starvation for slaughtering a family of farmers after freaking out over the loss of his sword), Zevran (an assassin sent after you—just the most recent contract in implied long chain of murders), Oghren (who's a drunken lout and was about to be kicked out of Orzammar anyways) a number of apostates (rogue mages) and even possibly Loghain Mac Tir, the one responsible for King Cailan's death at the start of the game by leaving him to die at Ostagar. As a Grey Warden, you have a right to recruit anyone you wish without regard for local laws. A number of Grey Wardens (including Duncan himself, who was a pickpocket in Orlais) were recruited straight from jail. Depending on the origin, even the Warden can fall into this category. The Dwarf Noble is either tricked into/framed for the murder of their elder brother, the Dwarf Commoner was caught impersonating a Noble in a Proving, the City Elf murdered half of a castle during a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against an Arl's son for raping their cousin, and the Mage Origin is caught helping a fellow Mage try to flee the Circle. All are rescued from a grisly fate by Duncan's intervention, and when you play as other origins it's possible to find signs of what would have happened to you had Duncan not been there, such as finding your alternate self dead in a dungeon cell in Orzammar.

The jailer, and quite a few other Sith, think that she was hired by the Republic, but she reveals herself as a freelancer who works for the highest bidder. The Light Side option is to recruit her into Imperial Intelligence. Your trainer, Overseer Tremel, commends you on the decision, telling you that you should never let an opportunity to recruit a powerful ally slip through your fingers. The Imperial Agent's first companion, Kaliyo, is a wanted criminal and known anarchist who figures out that you're not the Red Blade (your cover identity in the prologue). Keeper offers her a small fortune to keep her quiet and help you out. The Bounty Hunter's companion, Gault. He is one of their targets for the Great Hunt of Act I. He gives you a duplicate body to turn in for the bounty and offers to accompany you in exchange for his life. Regardless of your feelings on the matter, you have to recruit him. Somewhat subverted with Skadge, a former gang boss you cooperate with to deal with a mutual enemy who simply forces his way into your crew whether you like it or not. The Republic Trooper ends up recruiting Tanno Vik, a former Republic soldier turned freelance mercenary to become the team's resident Demolitions Expert. It's stated that despite being dishonorably discharged, his talents as a demoman are such that he's worth recruiting into Havok Squad.

Recruiting the Criminal / int_9e2f90f4	comment	In One Piece, the World Government has the Seven Warlords of the Sea (Shichibukai in Japanese), seven extremely powerful pirates who act as privateers. The Seven Warlords are pardoned for their prior crimes and the Marines will turn a blind eye to most of their future crimes, and in return give an annual piece of their plunder and have to respond to orders from the World Government. It's not a perfect system, however — more than one Warlord has used their position to secretly back even more illegal schemes that the Marines won't overlook (including heinous crimes against humanity), some are shown to hate the very institution they serve, and even the so-called 'loyal' Warlords have their own agendas (barring Mihawk, who's implied to have joined because he was bored and makes it clear that he can ditch them whenever he wants). However, since their job is to act as a deterrent to prevent more piracy rather than to serve the public at large, the World Government doesn't particularly care, and at points even goes to great lengths to protect them and their reputation. Because of these flaws, several of the more benevolent World Government officials would prefer for the Warlord system to be abolished and eventually the World Government can't put up with the Warlords abusing their powers any longer and completely do away with the system. Ironically, many of those same Marine officers who oppose the Warlord system have worked together with and even become almost friends with individual pirates outside the system.

A notable serial with this format is "Genesis of the Daleks", in which they try to force him to commit pre-emptive genocide against the Daleks on their behalf. This pattern had started in the Third Doctor days when he was otherwise on earthbound house arrest. In "The Five Doctors", the Time Lords recruit the Master to save the Doctor, who is trapped in the Death Zone on Gallifrey.

This proceeds a lot like other movies with the same theme, however, as he very effectively teaches his new colleagues (from personal experience) how to think like criminals in order to catch criminals. Interestingly, he seems to have expertise in completely different types of crime from his own.

As of Phoenix-fire, he even goes as far as to recruit people that he knows are out to kill or usurp him because they are particularly efficient at what they do.

Recruiting the Criminal / int_e4b1e91e	comment	In Infiltrating the Airship, the government hires Henry Stickmin after hearing about his successes in escaping prison (after a failed attempt to break into a bank vault) and stealing a valuable diamond, all of which happened in the series' previous games. He is tasked with infiltrating the Toppat Clan's airship and either capturing their leader or finding information that can be used to arrest the clan. In exchange, the government promises that Henry's criminal record will be erased. Depending on your choices, this can go in many different ways for the government.

Recruiting the Criminal / int_e7e37776	comment	Firefly. Mal actually recruits Jayne while Jayne and two others are attempting to rob him and Zoe. Granted, technically the whole crew is pretty much composed of criminals since they're smugglers, but Jayne is of the dirtier outlaw type. On a broader note, the whole crew are criminals when necessary, though they range from happy go lucky wouldn't hurt a fly Kaylee to gun-loving hard-living hired muscle Jayne. When Simon and Book sign up for passage on the good ship Serenity, they're unknowingly invoking the trope.

Recruiting the Criminal / int_ecff1d09	comment	In the Lupin III manga, Lupin was hired by the Japanese government to rescue a captured spy and recover the intel said spy was after in return for amnesty for all his crimes up to that point. Here, the reason was simply that Lupin's Impossible Thief talents made him the perfect man for the job; if anyone could covertly steal a prisoner and information from under the nose of somebody who'd already caught a spy and was thus on alert, it would be him.

She comes off as a By-the-Book Cop but still has Blood Knight tendencies, asking V if they enjoy killing like she does.

One of them later turns out to be working with the bad guy. In Mission: Impossible II, this is subverted. Ethan thinks he's recruiting the master thief in order to steal something until his Mission Control reveals they only wanted her because she previously had a relationship with the Big Bad, and they want to exploit that to get a person inside for recon.

He then made the mistake of hacking the STN's computer systems and was caught after he discovered the existence of witches and magic and had his trail traced. Under threat of death because he found out about witches, he instead chose to trade his service and works for STN-J as their literal (as in, he can't leave the office with explicit permission) in-house hacker.

Recruiting the Criminal / int_f4e799ee	comment	Michael from Burn Notice occasionally employs the services of the money launderer Barry and the gun runner Seymour for various jobs. Michael himself is a fired CIA agent, and so without the backing of the CIA, most of his history looks criminal in nature. Because no legitimate government employee wants anything to do with him, he has to rely on the "lesser evil" criminals for help.

Recruiting the Criminal / int_f8956ef3	comment	Hiei and Kurama of YuYu Hakusho were partially pardoned of their crimes in exchange for their services in assisting Yusuke with the Four Saint Beasts. Kurama at the least was never dedicated to the criminal lifestyle, only using it for sympathetic reasons. Hiei was the Token Evil Teammate for a few story arcs until a more genuine Heelâ€“Face Turn. But even well into the series, when the team began to discuss what they planned to do now that a particularly powerful enemy was defeated, Hiei responded, "Various crimes."

Recruiting the Criminal / int_fd7de151	comment	In Psycho-Pass, many members of the MWPSB are Enforcers, so-called "latent criminals" who haven't physically committed a crime yet, but are judged by the Sibyl System to have a mental state that is conducive to crime. Because they're able to more clearly understand the criminal mind, Enforcers are usually the ones who do the real detective work, while their Inspector partners act mostly as a leash to keep them under control.
