Felix Trevelyan's page

Felix’s life began full of opportunity and promise. The eldest child of three to the Trevelyans of Korvosa, a wealthy and powerful merchant family with ties to Imperial Cheliax, in his early years he lacked for nothing, including fine foods, extravagant clothes, tutors and instructors in all the varied topics he might need someday to take over his father’s role. In time, Felix enrolled in the University of Korvosa to pursue a formal education. A middling student, he much preferred pursuing romantic entanglements with coeds and playing his mandolin at taverns close to the campus.

Unfortunately such positions are not without their dangers, and Felix’s family was implicated in a plot against King Eodred II. Whether falsely or in truth, it little mattered as all were put to death in the purges that came quickly after. Felix was fortunate enough to be traveling between their city and country estate when he learned the news.

Without money and subsequently forced to abandon his studies, Felix lacked guidance or anywhere to turn. The years that followed were hard as he took to the streets and road, earning coin or a roof over his head when he could and however he could, stealing when he couldn’t to get by. Still, some of the skills he had acquired from his education were not completely wasted and overtime he managed to refine and hone some of those skills to earn himself a fairly steady, if not glamorous living.

These days Felix travels the roads, lean and hungry oftentimes, sword in one hand, mandolin in the other as he seeks out new tales and new songs to incorporate into his performances, leaving audiences spellbound. His travels have brought him to Sandpoint, where he hopes to make some coin with his musical talent, or failing that, his bow.

Felix is a rake, having developed a womanizing reputation in school. His recent life in the rough has done little to discourage this behavior. The bard often seeks the company of a pretty serving girl, novitiate priestess, or farmer’s daughter. That they might offer him a bed to spend the night in is only a perk.

Despite everything Felix is an outgoing and genuinely warm person who is inordinately grateful for any show of assistance or aid and goes out of his way to return the favor to those less fortunate than himself, with a particular soft spot for street children and the like.

Always happy to try and get by with a night’s food and lodging for a song and story and maybe a earning a little coin as well Felix finds himself unable to settle, always moving on to seek the next story or adventure.

Standing at 5’8” with brown hair and blue eyes Felix has the sort of features than invite more than a second glance by members of the opposite sex when they’re creased by a warm smile.

Though his old habits towards fussy cleanliness have shattered on the rocks of reality he still makes an effort to present a clean and well groomed appearance and his clothes in good condition, mostly through heavy use of the spells mending and prestidigitation.
