Because we all love a velvet-voiced British villain, Felix Manning (Joe Jones) is introduced early in the season as a "fixer" working for Wilson Fisk.

As it turns out, he's adapted from a minor character of the same name from the comics, who appeared in Daredevil #230 and #231 (as part of the Born Again arc).

In the comics, he ordered Melvin Potter to create the duplicate Daredevil suit, though rather than be given to Ben Poindexter, a random criminal lunatic was suited up instead. This man soon enough ended up killing Manning.

In the show, of course, Manning survives the season in tact, albeit in custody.
