John... is another Mr. John.
John is one of Mayor Wade's important subordinates, a member of the interest group, often helping Mayor Wade with some dirty work.
In this terrible, yet best of times, any glamorous figure will need to do some sordid things, some dirty deeds.
The little fairy is not only cute but also has to poop.
Things always have two sides.
The little fairy's poop cannot be done by someone else, but work that can dirty one's hands can be outsourced.
John is just such an assistant, his hands full of blood, his whole body reeking and dark, he knows very well he may not meet a good end.
The more dirty work he does, the more private matters he handles for Mayor Wade, those things that might be detrimental to Mayor Wade will transfer from those people to him.
Originally, he played the role of a violent bomb squad guy, but eventually, he himself would become a huge bomb.
