If you could have one hire "for free" right now, what would it be?

This question is mainly for early stage startup founders but others, feel free to answer. Assume you have just saved a wizard's life and, as a reward, he's going to give you a free hire.

All you have to do is write down the job description and he will manifest you a competent, 10X person with that skillset that is willing to work for free on whatever you task them to. There's no secret ironic twist to this, you will get what you're looking for.

Do you want a really great designer? A scalability engineer? Someone who has a lot of contacts in your target industry? An operations person? The sky's the limit but you only get a single hire.
