Felix was born in the secluded town of Vale at the base of the dormant volcano Mt. Aleph, and for his first fifteen years he lived a peaceful life there with his younger sister Jenna, their parents, and their friends Isaac and Garet. Like his father, Felix is a Venus Adept where as Jenna is a Mars Adept like her mother, and all the townspeople of Vale are Adepts to varying degrees because they live their lives under the influence of a giant Psynergy Stone formation near the town's entrance. Felix was well-liked by the populace and enthusiastically described as a good person.
Having lived at Vale his entire life, at a mountainous area not close enough to the Great Western Sea, Felix has never seen an ocean before, like his friends at that point.
The lives of Felix and many others were changed forever when he was fifteen, when the Mt. Aleph Boulder incident happened at Vale: A terrible thunderstorm struck Mt. Aleph and Vale, and a giant boulder located somewhere on Mt. Aleph named the Mt. Aleph Boulder became dislodged and descended upon Vale, crashing through it. At the time Felix had fallen into the river and was hanging onto a wooden beam, and both of his parents, along with Isaac's father Kyle, were trying to rescue him from the nearby pier of the house; the Boulder proceeded to crash through the house and drive all four of them over the nearby waterfall to what should have been certain death. And they would indeed have died had their unconscious bodies, floating upon the following river, not been retrieved in time by the odd and imposing foreigners Saturos and Menardi. The pair of master Mars Adepts were the ones who triggered the storm and the disaster in the first place, which had occurred in response to a failed raid they attempted upon the mountain shrine hidden within Mt. Aleph, Sol Sanctum. For a reason never clarified (but possibly out of remorse for triggering the disaster upon the town), Saturos and Menardi took Felix and the three adults with them as the pair made a return trip to their hometown of Prox, far to the north.
The ultimate objective of Saturos and Menardi is nothing less than the restoration of the force of Alchemy to the world of Weyard. The mayoral figures of Prox - the Elder of Prox and the chieftain Puelle - gave the pair their objective because they've apparently been able to figure out that the absence of Alchemy as a global presence is somehow responsible for the widening of the abyss at the edge of the world further north that threatens to consume Prox in the future. Alchemy was a force that was sealed off within Mt. Aleph far in the world's ancient past, but it would be rereleased should the four jewels containing the purified essences of each of the four elements - the Elemental Stars - are cast into four towering structures located across the world - the Elemental Lighthouses - to activate and light up their respective Elemental Beacons. All four of the jewels are hidden within Mt. Aleph's Sol Sanctum, and those were what Saturos and Menardi were attempting to retrieve when they raided Sol Sanctum.
As Felix, his parents, and Kyle lived in the unfamiliar society of Prox deep within Weyard's Northern Reaches over the next three years, Saturos and Menardi conducted further research on the Elemental Lighthouses while preparing for a second raid of Sol Sanctum. They discovered that in order to even enter each lighthouse, you need an Adept of that Lighthouse's element. As Felix is a Venus Adept, Saturos and Menardi decided to make use of him by pressing him into their service as a future travelling companion, for Felix will allow the Mars Adepts to enter and scale Venus Lighthouse in the future. To bend him to their will and the purposes of their quest, Saturos and Menardi proposed that Prox keep his parents and Kyle effectively incarcerated, and Felix was promised that the adults will be released to return to vale once the quest to break Alchemy's seal is complete. By the present day, Felix, now 18, is a trained swordsman, and Saturos and Menardi have recruited another young Adept to assist their quest, the Mercury Adept Alex. With Alex now their ally as well, Saturos and Menardi now have the Adepts necessary to enter and activate three of the four lighthouses; they have also discovered, however, that in addition to a Jupiter Adept which they will need to acquire at some point in their quest, they will for whatever reason need an artifact named the Shaman's Rod to properly climb and light Jupiter Lighthouse. Eventually, Saturos, Menardi, Felix, and Alex depart from Prox upon Menardi's Lemurian Ship and embark on their cross-continential quest to break Alchemy's seal.
