Overview

When Felix first presented himself in the show, he was an unknown figure stalking the reds and blues. He introduced himself as an ally working for the New Republic as a freelancer (Gun for Hire). Claiming to be a mercenary with a heart of gold, he assisted Tucker in his training of the recruits to go on a rescue mission. He stated his reasons for helping were to keep his bitter rival, Locus, from winning along with the other side. Felix had told the New Republic that Locus and him had been in the same squad during one of the bloodiest battles of the Great War and that is where their rivalry began.

When the two teams reunite we learn that Felix has really been working for Charon Industries to make the civil war on Chorus continue indefinitely. Locus has really been Felix’s partner this whole time.

Because of Felix’s gloating and monologuing, the Reds and Blues were able to escape before the mercenaries killed them, later exposing both Felix and Locus to all of Chorus. Felix reveals himself to be both cynical and sarcastic, his humor becoming more dark as the show progresses.

In the end, it is Locus’ betrayal that kills Felix with the help of the Reds and Blues.

Orgins

Season 14 gave us a bit more insight into Felix’s past and revealed that after the war he worked as a bounty hunter with Locus and their third partner, Siris. We learn Felix’s real name is Issac Gates, but already see how the pair started going down a darker path that led them to the Chorus genocide.

Relationships

Locus

Felix’s relationship with Locus was almost parasitic in the way Felix kept Locus from healing from the Great War. As their work got messier, their relationship deteriorated from its already poor starting point. With the help of the Santa AI, Locus came to realize his toxic relationship with Felix and terminate it.

Personality

Felix is cocky and arrogant, believing himself superior to others. He is cynical and shares a dark sense of humor with the rest of the world. He takes pleasure in tricking those he sees as lesser and putting on a show to twist thing in his favor. Selfish and greedy, Felix shows no problems in committing genocide for a large sum of money.
