An experienced crook who takes in street children, usually orphans, and coaches them to steal for him, usually through pickpocketing, The Con or both. Like the original Charles Dickens character (from Oliver Twist), this trope is subject to two distinct interpretations. Sometimes, the character will be a Lovable Rogue and will be presented as essentially giving these homeless kids the best life possible. On the other hand, other versions of this are cruel exploiters (who usually claim to be the former) and function similarly to the Orphanage of Fear. Less sympathetic examples may qualify as a Babysitter from Hell or even worse. Sometimes, just sometimes, The Fagin may actually love the children who work for him like a father, and there are few things scarier than a Papa Wolf Fagin, who is not above using his extensive underworld connections to torture to death those who harm his children. Expect to find The Artful Dodger, a wily young thief, among his crew. If the Fagin's charges grow up successfully, they will likely become Satisfied Street Rats. Related to the Thieves' Guild. The children involved automatically qualify as a Tyke-Bomb. Compare King of the Homeless. See also Evil Orphanage Lady. The trope is named after Fagin, a character from Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist who is so associated with this trope that his name is actually next to it in the dictionary. He even fulfills both interpretations, depending on the adaptation. |

Genshin Impact: Arlecchino, the "Knave" currently oversees the House of the Hearth, an orphanage that takes in orphans from all over Teyvat and, after they become adults, they are trained to become Fatui soldiers and sleeper agents in other nations. However, it's said that those "with potential" are the ones who are trained to become Fatui agents. Her wards are encouraged to form strong emotional bonds, viewing each other as siblings and her as a figure of both love and fear. The teachings of the House encourage them to enjoy their brief innocence as children, before embracing their duty to become the worst of the worst in the service of their "family" and motherland. She also plays with the trope: considering that she is raising these orphans to commit war crimes, which at least two are shown to be uncomfortable doing, she leans towards the 'exploiter' version of the trope, but she's neither cruel nor unreasonable. She would comfort her children in their final moments and mourn for them. If any of her children could not handle the stress of their role, she gives them an option to walk away with their lives but not memory, and she made a deal with Neuvillette for these children to have new, normal lives. | |

Boo Boom! The Long Way Home: Episode 11 features a husband and wife couple of smugglers, who force orphans to help them with their business. Boo-Boom is also drafted into their group, despite attempts from Viola (who, at the time, was also working for them after abandoning the others) to prevent this, but in the end both villains are arrested and all orphans freed from their clutches. | |

In the Heralds of Valdemar novel Take a Thief, Skif falls in with a group of young thieves led by an adult man (Bazie), who is unfortunately crippled; he gives them food, shelter and lessons (both educational and in how to be a good thief) in exchange for helping him out with his daily life and stealing for him. In Closer to Home, a man named Gripper has a group of boys that steal for him. However, he's mean and abusive to them, so when Mags rescues them and recruits them to be messenger boys (and keep an ear out for any useful information), they're quite willing to do so. In Closer to the Chest, it's established that there are other men like Gripper. Mags rescues the groups of boys that are forced to steal and adds them to his gang of messenger boys/informants. Early on in the book, Mags has to deal with three of men trying to get the boys that used to work for them back. |

Bleak Expectations: Parodied mercilessly with Abraham Bagel, who has a gang of cockney thief boys, and blackmails a despondent Pip Bin into working for him by supplying him with opium. He has a ludicrously exaggerated Yiddish accent... but he's Catholic. Also, the thieves are Pip Bin's nephews, abducted several episodes prior, while Bagel is Mr. Benevolent in disguise (which he soon drops on account of Pip getting too out of it to notice). | |

Runaways had Provost, the sewer-dwelling self-proclaimed headteacher of the School of the Seven Bells; he forces runaway children to steal for him and uses a wand to turn the children who refuse into stone. When he takes in Molly, she rallies the other kids against him, eventually leading to him turning into stone himself when two of the kids break his wand. | |

Played with with Sully from Uncharted, who quasi-adopted the protagonist Nate when he was fifteen and taught him treasure hunting. However Nate's biological mom was one as well, and he learned a lot from her before her death. Sully also does genuinely love Nate as his own and is upset with him when he comes out of retirement in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End . All he wanted for Nate was to marry a nice girl and live a normal life and he thinks Nate is throwing it away. | |

Gentleman Bastard: Locke is raised by both versions as a child: The Thiefmaker is the evil version, buying orphans to indoctrinate them into lives of crime from a lair dug into a disused cemetary. Although he's superficially friendly to his children, he brutally enforces his rules and murders any who step too far out of line. Father Chains is the good version, taking in the most promising prospective thieves and raising them in comfort to be the best in the business. They get a comprehensive education from him, become True Companions, and genuinely mourn him when he passes away. |

Yondu, from Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), leads a band of Space Pirates known as the Ravagers, and abducts the young Peter Quill from Earth - first to eat him, but then to raise him as one of his own. In a lighter take on this trope than most, it's revealed he was hired to bring Peter to his alien father, and decided to spare the kid the experience of being raised by "a jackass". The "eat him" thing was actually a joke, but Quill didn't understand that as a child. | |

Referenced in the Temps short story "Sortilege and Serendipity" by Brian Stableford when the hapless hero, whose job is testing Talented kids, is mistaken for the super criminal known as the Taxman, and finds himself spinning a yarn about being a Fagin-figure using his work to recruit powered youngsters into his gang. He briefly wonders why he's never actually done this, before remembering that all the kids he works with are mouthy pains-in-the-neck with useless powers. | |

Pathfinder The adventure path "Curse of the Crimson Throne", this is the occupation of Starter Villain Gaedren Lamm, and the PCs can be former wards of his. Even crueler than most examples, Gaedren regularly feeds members of his "Little Lambs" to his pet alligator when they disappoint him. The book notes that it is very likely that this same alligator will end up being Gaedren's doom as he attempts to flee the player characters. In the city of Absalom this role is filled by Doctor Bensi Skule, a famous alchemist who never leaves his lab, and employs a vast gang of street urchins, collectively known as Skule's Army, to gather information for him, which he then barters for cash. He's implied to be a fairly benevolent example, which is fairly surprising given that he is also an eight-foot tall male troll (hence why he never leaves the lab). |

Fallout 2 has a merchant in the Den who sells the stuff children steal for him. You could kill the kids to recover anything they pickpocket from you, but that gets bounty hunters gunning for your head. Everyone else in the game will hate you on sight. If you've got the skill, just steal back what they took; Turnabout is fair play. | |

In Cartouche, the King of Thieves Malichot has all the theft job done by his thieves, from children to young men like Louis-Dominique Garthausen (later known as Cartouche), while doing nothing in the field by himself. He punishes them with his whip if they don't bring enough stolen goods or money to him (or if they hide some for themselves). Cartouche puts an end to his reign and methods later on, introducing more team work in which he contributes and a much fairer allocation of stolen resources ala Robin Hood. | |

Vampire: The Masquerade features an entire clan-specific subculture known by this very name. Born from the sewer-dwelling Nosferatu Clan, the Fagins are distinguished by their practice of forming gangs of impoverished mortals and transforming them into ghouls, essentially enslaving them through addiction to vampire blood. Having emerged in the Victorian Era, the Fagins earned their title for the practice of ghouling street kids; however, in the Modern Nights, Fagins will use just about anyone desperate enough - drug addicts, the homeless, prostitutes, and of course, the classic option. However, Mexico By Night features a different sort of Fagin altogether in the form of Szechenyi Jolan, the Mother of Horrors. A Tzimisce elder, she's in the habit of "collecting" children suffering from serious birth defects and adopting them into her coven. Thanks to her judicious use of the Blood Bond, these kids were in love with Jolan even before she used Vicissitude to correct their deformities; by now, they'll do literally anything for her. The strongest and healthiest of these kids serve their Mother's interests throughout the city, gradually maturing into ghoul bodyguards for their immortal mistress; the luckiest of all are Embraced. The unlucky kids end up as test subjects in Jolan's attempts to create a master race of Vicissitude-capable humans - or building material for a Vozhd. Oh, and for added creepiness, Jolan likes to accessorize the youngest of her children at parties, toting around limbless conjoined infants and breastfeeding them vampire blood. |

Batman: Fay Gunn is the most notable of several from the comics because Jason Todd (the second Robin) briefly worked for her after Batman placed him in her care. Subverted in one short story: Batman thinks the Penguin is kidnapping kids from troubled backgrounds to lead them into a life of crime. He's actually giving them a decent education and a pleasant childhood so they can grow up to be outstanding members of society... who owe him a huge favor. Byron Wylie, the founder of Midway Orphanage in the 1990 Batman/Superman: World's Finest miniseries ran it as an Orphanage of Fear which trained orphans as criminals. Long after Wylie was arrested, and apparently died, one of these orphans grew up to become part of the orphanage staff, still under Wylie's control. |

The Equalizer. One case involved a mother who was worried her son was being draw into crime. Turns out this trope was involved, with a criminal using the children for the high risk part of the theft. McCall handles the problem by discrediting The Fagin in the eyes of the children. | |

Final Fantasy IX features the Tantalus gang, led by a boisterous, bearded Beast Man named Baku. It's stated outright that he adopted the hero after finding him abandoned near the docks as a child, raised him and taught him to steal and perform on the stage; and it's implied that the rest of the gang may have been similarly recruited. Baku will knock you cross-eyed if you betray him... but eidolons help anyone who tries to hurt his gang. | |

Richard soon grows attached to the kid and begins to teach him to read, while Philippe begrudges Richard's insistence that they take care of him... until it turns out by chance that the boy is an exceptionally gifted pickpocket. | |

Dutch Van Der Linde of Red Dead Redemption and its Prequel Red Dead Redemption 2 took protagonists John Marston and Arthur Morgan into his gang alongside his partner-in-crime Hosea Matthews when they were street urchins and proceeded to raise them as his own son, teaching them to read and write as well as train them as outlaws who would be completely loyal to him. Due to the character's Ambiguously Evil status, how sympathetic Dutch's motivations were for this is left open to interpretation. Did he genuinely take them in out of the goodness of his heart or did he just need some kids to do his dirty work for him? | |

He also displays some of the Papa Wolf tendencies, calling Parker 'kiddo' and referring to himself as Parker's father. However, the last one is deconstructed: he never took the young Parker home to his white picket fence family, fearing she won't fit in, because even the younger Parker was a sort of Emotionless Girl. | |

This was just one part of his organization, as most of the criminals working for him were adults. One such thief took a liking to Pilou, mentoring him and protecting him from other boys, and when the mastermind did nothing to break that thief out of jail or prevent his execution, Pilou went after him. | |

An article in Pyramid magazine giving worked examples for GURPS Social Engineering: Back to School includes Mistress Blake's Establishment as one of the sample schools. Sarah Brake was a Regency burglar who now trains three to six apprentices and expects them to earn their keep by demonstrating their skills. The article notes that Oliver Twist hasn't been written yet, so calling her a "Fagin" would be anachronistic, and instead uses the word "kidsman". She cares enough about her charges to count as a Patron, but has Minimal Involvement because she can't be seen to be connected. | |

As revealed in The Librarians 2014 "...And the Christmas Thief". Ezekiel was raised by a female version along with three adoptive sisters. They're almost portrayed as following a Religion of Evil, celebrating "Thankstaking" by stealing gifts in honour of Santa's evil brother, the Saint of Thieves.note This is a warped reinterpretation of St Nicholas being the patron of penitent thieves. However, she's also shown as a petty shoplifter, completely unconnected to the society of master thieves and supercriminals Ezekiel became part of, and therefore totally unaware he has a reputation as the greatest thief in the world. She knows he's reformed, but assumed that was because he was just no good at it. Despite this, she does seem to be the "good" kind; at the end of the episode, Ezekiel says he always knew she loved them, and greed and larceny weren't the only things he learned from her. | |

Despite being an adaptation of this trope's namesake, Fagin from Saban's Adventures of Oliver Twist averts this trope. Instead, he offers homeless people, including children, shelter without forcing them into crime. The only thing Fagin does that is against the law, is give potential members a series of tests, which involve stealing the hat of a royal guard, riding a train without a ticket and turning the Big Ben one hour forward. | |
