Felix is the eldest surviving son of the house of Duke Fraldarius, and is [[Dimitri]]'s childhood friend. Felix had an older brother named Glenn, who died in battle while protecting Dimitri during the Tragedy of Duscur. Felix interpreted his father [[Rodrigue]]'s remark that [[Glenn]] "died like a true knight" regarding the honor in his brother's death as detached, so he developed a resentment towards his father and nobility in general, and became disillusioned with concept of chivalry. In Imperial Year 1178, he fought alongside Dimitri to suppress a rebellion. Dimitri's enjoyment of the bloodshed and slaughter horrified Felix and led to their friendship being strained, and Felix began to contemptuously refer to him as the "boar prince". In 1180, he enrolled in the Officers Academy at [[Garreg Mach Monastery]] and joined the [[Blue Lions]], studying and fighting alongside them.

Felix is a starting playable character for the Blue Lions route, a recruitable unit on the Black Eagles and Golden Deer routes and a recurring enemy should he not be poached during Part I.

Felix is a ruthlessly strong unit on par with the likes of the lords of each respective route. From the start, Felix is incredibly strong with good bases, one of the best [[crests]] in the game, and a strong personal skill for the early game. With his personal skill of [[Lone Wolf]], which boosts [[Might|might]] by five if he has no [[battalion]] equipped, Felix has amazing damage output as it boosts his strength to an effective fifteen which is even higher than [[Dimitri]] and [[Edelgard]]'s respective bases. However, in the long term, bonuses granted by even D-rank battalions will wildly outstrip the five point bonus to damage output or give other desirable boons, so you are best off reaping the benefits for the first few chapters then developing Felix's authority rank to at least C-rank. Felix's other major boon is his major crest of Fraldarius. The crest grants him a 40% chance of boosting weapon [[Might|might]] by five during normal weapon attacks. The crest of Fraldarius adds to Felix's already high damage output and has great synergy with [[brave weapon]]s and [[Brawling|gauntlet]]s as Felix's crest has an 87% chance of procing at least once in a string of four attacks. The combination of all these factors make Felix dominant in the early game and thanks to his excellent growths in both [[strength]] and [[speed]] he will maintain his lead throughout the game. Felix's only shortcomings are his average [[defense]] and [[HP]] and his low [[resistance]], though these can be mitigated later on by equipping the relic of Fraldarius, the [[Aegis Shield]], which grants Felix [[Pavise]], [[Aegis]] and six defense, boosting Felix's staying power on the frontlines provided the shield does not [[weight (weapon)|weigh]] him down enough to get doubled. Overall, you will likely find that Felix can easily dispatch most enemies in lower difficulties and, barring that, has enough speed to prevent [[AS|double attack]]s from many faster enemies on maddening mode while dealing high damage in retaliation.

It is also worth noting that Felix can perform adequately in magical classes despite a low growth in [[magic (stat)|magic]]. Felix's [[budding talent]] grants him [[Black Magic Crit +10]] and has good synergy with Felix's high [[critical hit|crit]] spells of [[Thunder (tome)|Thunder]] and the excellent three-range spell of [[Thoron]] allowing him to turn out high damage, albeit infrequently. Due to the fact that magic-enabled classes before the master tier are limited to four movement, unless you want a side promotion to [[Mage]] for [[Fiendish Blow]], it is still best to lead Felix down a physical class promotion path then promote him into a [[Mortal Savant]], [[Dark Knight]], [[Trickster]], or [[War Monk]] (the latter two if one has DLC) if you are set on having Felix use magic. That being said, there are many drawbacks to using a magical-oriented Felix. The most notable downside is that Felix's black magic spell list is very small, learning only two spells, preventing him from effectively capitalizing on the increased magic crit. Along with his Faith spell list lacking [[Physic]], a magical Felix is a somewhat inferior option for him, especially when his excellent combat prowess means that he has better performance in physical-based classes.

Felix was first added to the game in a special winter variation as part of the [[A Festival Miracle]] update, and was made available to players in the thirty-fourth edition of the [[Tempest Trials+]], "Burden of Gifts", which initially ran from December 18, 2020 through December 28, 2020. The aforementioned winter variation of Felix is the only one currently available in ''Heroes'', and is based on his ''Three Houses'' Part I incarnation.

Felix is a character set to appear in {{FEWA2}}; he was first shown in the "Kingdom of Faerghus" trailer, where he was shown to be playable. Like most other characters, he has a new design.

==Personality and character==

Felix is somewhat hard to approach. He is obsessed with honing his skills with the sword, and will challenge any worthy-looking opponent he meets to a duel.

 

He can often come off as cold and unforgiving, not willing to hold a conversation unless it is important or involves possibility to improve his own strength. He is intimidating, shown in his support conversations with [[Bernadetta]], and often misunderstood, and his honest opinions are mistaken for sarcasm by [[Annette]].

Despite seeming unsympathetic and cruel, he is secretly caring, valuing his allies and friends lives dearly. Though he hates to admit it, and tries to hide it out of embarrassment, he loves his friends greatly. He also has a soft spot for cats.

His need for strength and haste to challenge anyone he deems a worthy opponent stems from him sparring with his late brother Glenn, and vowing to win against him, although he says it feels like fighting a corpse. Regardless, he stills pursues strength, as he vowed to continue.

He strongly disagrees with [[Faerghus]]'s ideals of chivalry, believing that dying honorably does not justify a death, and despises it when his father [[Rodrigue]] refers to Glenn's death by saying that he "died like a true knight".

Although once close friend with [[Dimitri]], their relationship is strained after he witnessed his lust for blood during their part in suppressing a rebellion in the kingdom. After the timeskip, when [[Dimitri]] shows his other side, Felix has even less respect for him. He often refers to him using derogatory terms such as "Beast" and "Boar Prince", even going as far as to refer to him using the pronoun "it" instead of the masculine pronouns he prefers, as if he isn't human. Once Dimitri finally calms down and atones for his past behavior late in Azure Moon, Felix begins referring to him by his name again, as a sign of their friendship healing.
