Magistrate Higgins, portrayed by Gregory Itzin, is the final word of law on Higgins' Moon, a small moon that has a primary export of mud. He treats his workers, known as "mudders", harshly, almost as slaves, and metes out strict punishment to any who cross him, as evidenced by the confinement cage in which he imprisons Stitch Hessian after he and Jayne Cobb robbed him. The concern over his son Fess's virginity causes him to hire Inara Serra to turn Fess into a 'man', but the attempt is more successful than he'd expected; Fess openly defies his father and allows Serenity to lift off.
