Personality
For most of his life, Felix has been a shy kid who compensates by being something of a sarcastic pain in the ass. He dealt with the death of his father and the subsequent loneliness of his years of state care by cultivating a persona of easy humor, always quick with a snarky remark or a caustic comeback. This attitude also resulted in a deep hatred of bullies, as he was beaten up. A lot.
Under his attitude, however, Felix is a rather sensitive kid. He empathizes with others on a deep level, and when he sees someone in trouble he can’t help but feel like he has to step in and help, especially if the person in trouble is a woman or child. He looks out for the little guy, no matter the odds. His father raised him to be a gentleman, and he took those lessons to heart. He has a great deal of courage, though some would call it insanity, and won’t back down if he thinks the cause is right.
However, when he had first arrived at The Conclave, he had been through a great deal of trauma that had left him sullen and withdrawn, wracked by guilt for the lives he had taken, and the pain of losing his second family. He tended to sit off to the side, trying to keep from attracting attention. He feared social contact, both because he never had much experience with large crowds or children his own age, and because he was afraid of being hurt again.
He has now come out of his shell and is the ever snarky smart ass who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. It became evident early on that he has a major problem with authority, or how he likes to say "Authority has a problem with me." He will never back down and would sooner punch you in the face than let an asshole win an argument. He has a good sense of humor and can take a joke, as long as your prepared to receive one back.

History
Felix was born to a human father, Jason Fletcher, and a human mother named Margaret "Lefae" Gwendolyn who had the gift of Sight. Sadly Margaret died in childbirth under mysterious circumstances before she had a chance to tell Jason about her true nature. Therefore, Felix spent his early childhood completely unaware of his heritage as his father and he traveled the country side performing his father’s act as a stage magician.
Sadly these good times were not to last, and when Felix was six Jason died of a brain aneurysm, leaving Felix an orphan. He was bounced around state care facilities and horrid foster homes until he was 12 years old, when he was finally adopted by a Vampire named Damian Grimoire, along with another potential human, a girl named Rebecca. Grimoire introduced both of them to a skewed view of the Shadow World, and tried to turn Rebecca and Felix into his darkling enforcers without their knowing. The training was grueling, indeed abusive and damaging, but Felix was happy in his own way, and he and Rebecca even began to fall in love.
This happiness was not to last, however. One dark day when Felix was fifteen years old, Grimoire revealed the true reason he had adopted him. Grimoire, a rogue Vampire, had adopted Felix and Rebecca to raise them to be his darkling enforcers. Felix managed to escape that night through an odd clarity that let him see past the blood and fled. Grimoire dispatched a darklingl assassin after the young man, but he was fortunate enough to find a powerful fairy who owed his mother a favor named Leanansidhe. She granted him a boon that allowed him to defeat the darkling, but promised she’d return to collect his debt one day. After receiving information from Lea, he purged himself of the blood by drinking a massive amount of Holy water until he was human again.
At this point Felix could have fled and disappeared into the mass of humanity, but he couldn’t leave Rebecca in Grimoire’s clutches. He returned to save her, and she thanked him by placing him in chains. Trapped and betrayed by the two people he was closest to in the world, Felix was again tempted to give in, but something just wouldn’t let him. Slipping his bonds, Felix rose up and faced Grimoire in a duel, and in the course of the duel Grimoire and Felix accidentally set the house ablaze, causing it to collapse around them, with Felix barely escaping with his life. Felix never found out what happened to Rebecca, but the evidence suggested she died in the fire as well. The whole fight being a blur, Felix couldn't actually remember who originally started the blaze, and that uncertainty has haunted him ever since.
Wandering in a daze, Felix dug himself out of the wreckage of the house, the only thing he had left in the world was his dog Mouse and his mother’s pendant. Felix wandered for a short time, but he did not get far before he was picked up by the Shadowhunters. Felix's mother had apparently served the Shadowhunters for years before vanishing one night. They apparently recognized her amulet for she wore it wherever she went. They listened to his story and seeing the circumstances, allowed him to work at the Institute. They trained him, though he was already experienced in combat training, they honed and refined him.
He is now one of the Institutes drivers, the best he would say and the craziest. Felix is fully prepared to plow headfirst into any nasty beasty that comes your way. he would also stand by you and fight side by side, even though he's just a human. Mouse isn't freaking bad in a fight either.
Extra
Felix received a puppy for his twelfth birthday from Damian. The puppy was so small he could fit into Felix's coat pocket, so he and Rebecca decided to name him Mouse. Though, when he grew older, they quickly learned that Mouse was freaking huge! Mouse is a Tibetan Mastiff who's shoulder blades come up to Felix's hips and weighs over 200lbs. of solid muscle. He is fiercely loyal to Felix and very friendly and sweet to most. Though, he seems to have a nose for danger and really helps out Felix due to the fact that by himself, he would really struggle against just one Downworlder. He is also Felix's official Co-Pilot in the car. When he growls, you swear you were standing next to a lion.
