Biography

Felix Vogel comes from solid gentleman stock in the Eisen town of Freiburg, and took a thorough course of study in Eisen's military academies, including a grounding in the basics of the Drexel school of zweihander fighting. One may speculate whether Felix chose the zweihander because of his large stature, or grew so bulky because he spent his adolescence learning to maneuver a six-foot-long sword with grace, speed, and precision. Whatever conclusion one draws, the fact remains that Felix makes an impressive physical specimen.

If his height and brawn did not make strangers nervous, his dour mien would. He habitually wears a slight frown, and tends to fix on a person or thing to stare at, fully evaluate it, and then move on without hesitation. People can tell that they have been weighed, and his dour look makes them feel they have may been found wanting. To this forbidding air, add Felix's dark eyes, black hair, and full mustache and beard, and indulge a metaphor from another century: In uncertain situations, Felix is a black hole, taking in all around, but yielding nothing.

When surrounded only by those he trusts, Felix reveals an entirely different side to his personality. He laughs easily, though his humor tends toward the cynical. He rarely has money, because when he has it, he does not hesitate to loan it to his friends. Despite his youth, he acts as the old man of the bunch, pointing out the risks others have not considered and the horrible fate awaiting those who take too many chances. Having inevitably failed to persuade his friends of the value of a quiet night in, he then follows them out into trouble, firmly believing that they would be lost without someone to keep an eye on them.
