Harold Ferrick

Harold Ferrick is a ferret and a low-level money courier for the Lynxley Network in We Can Fix Pawbert. Found hiding at the Sunset Motor Lodge, Ferrick is notable for his insistence on cooperating exclusively with Precinct 99---reasoning that "They're too weird to be corrupt." His intelligence reveals the existence of "the Reserve," a $60M+ slush fund used to pay for network fixers.

"They're too weird to be corrupt." --- Harold Ferrick, on why he trusts Precinct 99 (S01E11)

Background

Ferrick operated as a low-level money courier within the Lynxley network, physically transporting cash between network nodes. Despite his low rank, his work gave him knowledge of the network's financial infrastructure---specifically, the existence of a massive slush fund known as "the Reserve."

Personality

Ferrick is paranoid, street-smart, and unexpectedly perceptive. His refusal to cooperate with any precinct except Precinct 99---on the logic that their eccentricity makes them incorruptible---reveals a mammal who has survived in the criminal underworld by reading mammals accurately. He understands that the Lynxley network has corrupted institutional channels, and his instinct to seek out the one precinct too strange to be bought proves sound.

Series History

Season 1

S01E11 "Precinct 99"

Ferrick is found hiding at the Sunset Motor Lodge, clearly frightened and aware that the Lynxley network is collapsing around him. He refuses to cooperate with standard law enforcement channels, insisting that only Precinct 99 can be trusted. His reasoning---"They're too weird to be corrupt"---becomes one of the series' most memorable lines.

Once in protective custody with Precinct 99, Ferrick reveals critical intelligence: the existence of "the Reserve," a slush fund exceeding $60 million. The Reserve is used to pay for network fixers identified by codenames---Brushfire, Coldsnap, and Undertow. This revelation expands the investigation's understanding of the Lynxley network's financial depth and its capacity to deploy specialized operatives.

Key Relationships

Precinct 99

Ferrick's trust in Precinct 99 is built on their reputation for eccentricity rather than corruption. His insistence on working only with them brings the precinct into the Lynxley investigation and provides them with high-value intelligence.

The Lynxley Network

As a low-level courier, Ferrick existed at the network's operational base---moving money without necessarily understanding the full picture. However, his knowledge of the Reserve demonstrates that even low-ranking operatives possessed dangerous intelligence about the network's financial infrastructure.
