Color Fixers are the Fixers that the Hana Association has deemed to be above and beyond their typical grading scale.[4] These Fixers are expected to perform at a level that makes them the ideal choice for dealing with Star of the City level threats.[5] Color Fixers are not only the most successful, but are meant to be looked up to and admired by Fixers of lower ranks. The Hana Association chooses Color Fixers based not just on their abilities, but to inspire other Fixers to improve their abilities and climb the ranks to as high as they can go.[5] The title of a Color Fixer is given by force to any who the Hana Association deems qualifies as worthy of it, meaning that it is impossible to turn down the role.[5]

To the average Fixer, the life of a Color Fixer is one of absolute freedom, and the only thing that properly delivers on the promise of independence and self-sufficiency that many young Fixers are sold on.[6] Color Fixers are not only strong enough to protect themselves from nearly any threat, but also wealthy from the work they do and are able to pick and choose the contracts they take freely. Some Color Fixers have been seen pursuing their own, personal goals that are completely unrelated to their Fixer work, such as the Purple Tear's pursuit for her missing son. Despite this general perception of Color Fixers, some question if they can be considered truly free, as the title is forced on them with no say, and can be taken away by the Hana Association if they deem their behavior or performance unfit of such a prestigious title.

The Hana Association, as part of their general management of Fixers, assigns grades to both Fixers and Offices based on their performance. Fixers operate on a system of meritocracy, with more capable Fixers being rewarded for their work and assigned higher grades, which then allows them to charge more money when accepting contracts and being seen as capable of taking on more dangerous work.[1] When evaluating an Office or Fixer for promotion or demotion, the Hana Association makes use of the reports submitted to them by Fixers are the completion of a job, and assesses their performance.[2] Grades are based not only on strength, but also intelligence and other important factors.[3]

Fixer are ranked on a descending 9 to 1 grade scale, with new Fixers being assigned Grade 9 by default. Higher grade Fixers are expected to be capable of dealing with higher risk level threats and take on more challenging jobs. The Hana Association can demote a Fixer's grade based on poor performance or unprofessional behavior.

Fixers act as contractors that cover a wide variety of roles in society, working on commission. They often handle lines of work which are considered more dangerous or more specialized than those of average citizens, including direct combat, assassinations, or protection, as well as less violent roles such as trading information, espionage, investigative work or enforcing contracts. To some level, they may act as peacekeepers, being hired to take up jobs more specific to those that hire them. The specialization and accomplishments of Fixers in fields that a majority of citizens do not have allows them to garner great bounds of attention and popularity.

Despite the belief of Fixers being noble, many of them simply view the job as a way out of typical civilian work, such as Ishmael boarding The Pequod to obtain a Fixer license as a way to escape what she viewed as a monotonous life in the safety of a Nest, while also finding a quick way to make good money. The job is not without difficulty, however, as many Fixers face danger in their work, and are sometimes made targets of Syndicates, other Fixer Offices, and in the worst-case scenario, a Wing.

Many Fixers must go through rigorous training or augmentations, making use of peculiar and experimental technology or weapons to do their work more easily, safely and efficiently.

Siegfried is a tall, muscular man with white eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair with two plaits. His most notable feature are his prosthetic arms made of an engraved wood or brass-like material. The right arm ends in a massive fist whereas the left possess a normal-sized silver hand capable of firing energy blasts; both are attached to prosthetic shoulders with two thin joints and three cables. Siegfried wears a blue bodysuit with green details on the torso, lower legs and neck and a green domino mask with a yellow border. Additionally, he wears a large black fur coat (with two massive clawed paws still attached) fastened at the neck by a silver brooch with eight small fastenings on the left.

Siegfried is energetic and enthusiastic with a flair for showmanship. He enjoys attention, attending magazine interviews, and encouraging witnesses to spread stories of him. He even encourages the Sinners to take photographs of him before he defeats them, despite photos normally requiring permission from K Corp. Siegfried appears to hold no grudges against his opponents, allowing Don Quixote (whom he had just killed) to acquire an autograph. He is rather flippant, teasing Sinners while fighting them and complimenting Vergilius for his sharp tongue after being insulted.

Siegfried tends to speak in an archaic and formal fashion and refers to his actions has "heroism".
