“There are worse things than dying.”
Felix Alexius is a Tevinter Mage, son of magister Gereon Alexius and friend of Dorian Pavus.
Background[]
Felix is the only child and heir of magister Gereon Alexius and his wife Lady Livia Arida. Though he showed signs of magical ability, his talent proved so limited his grandfather tried to have him assassinated for being "just barely more than a Soporati". His mother countered the attempt, and then had her father in-law killed to safeguard her son's future.
Since Felix couldn't learn much in the way of spells, his father brought in tutors to teach him history, art, music, literature and anything else he wanted to study. Felix eventually showed a talent for mathematics, and was sent to the University of Orlais to study with the best.[1]
When Felix' father took Dorian Pavus on as an apprentice, Felix would secretly sneak him treats when Dorian was up late studying.
In 9:38 Dragon, while Felix was making the trip back to Hossberg from the university for the winter holidays with his parents, their party was attacked by hurlocks. Though the creatures were driven off, Livia was killed in the attack and Felix caught the Blight sickness, condemning him to a slow death.[1][note]
Involvement[]
Felix accompanied his father to Redcliffe, where Alexius had forced out Arl Teagan and manipulated the Rebel Mages into servitude. While Alexius was in the midst of negotiations with the Inquisitor at the Gull and Lantern, Felix feigned illness so he could pass a note to the Inquisitor, instructing them to go to the village chantry. Afterwards, Felix ditched his father and attended the meeting with Dorian and the Inquisitor. He reveals that his father is part of a Tevinter supremacist cult called the Venatori and are very interested in the mark on the Inquisitor's hand.
Ghoulified Felix
After defeating Alexius, the Inquisitor and Dorian return to the exact moment they left, and force the magister to surrender. Alexius bemoans his inability to save his son, but Felix states that he accepts his impending death.
Felix soon returned to Tevinter and informed the Magisterium of what occurred at Redcliffe, but died soon after.

- Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 2 states that the darkspawn attack occurred in 9:35 Dragon.[2]
- It also states that they were travelling to Minrathous, not Hossberg.
