"....Slowly the Bloodthirster faded from
view. But Felix could still see the daemon's blazing eyes and its last words still echoed inside his head: I will remember you, mortals, and I
have
all eternity in which to take my vengeance.
Wonderful, thought Felix, that's all I need.
The enmity of the favoured of Khorne!..."

| Felix Jaeger
reflecting on The Terror's final promise and his own ability to win friends.. |
Born the younger son of a
wealthy Altdorf merchant, Gustav Jaeger and his wife Renata, Felix Jaeger
always had dreams of becoming a famous poet and scholar. Unfortunately, his
promising career was cut short when he found himself expelled from University
after accidentally killing a fellow student in a duel. He then became involved
in the infamous Window Tax Riots where he met Gotrek Gurnisson under somewhat
fortuitous circumstances, when the Slayer pulled him out from under the hooves
of one of the mounted cavalry officers sent in to break up the fray.
Unfortunately, the Slayer then took exception to nearly being trampled
himself, so set about breaking a few heads. Unsurprisingly, both soon found
themselves wanted by the authorities.
Later that evening in the Axe
and Hammer tavern, Felix heard of the Slayer's quest to find a worthy doom,
and being slightly worse for wear at the time, swore a blood oath to follow
the dwarf and record his demise in a suitably epic poem, never dreaming just
what this would entail.
The duo’s adventures have
seen them journey extensively throughout the Empire, battling the forces of
Chaos wherever they find them. Felix acquired the mystical dragon-hilted
blade, Karaghul in a troll's treasure hoard under Karak Eight Peaks and has
used it to great effect against the numerous enemies he has fought since,
particularly the dragon Skjalandir. Since teaming up with the Slayer, he has
also thwarted a Skaven invasion, an assassination plot and a great Chaos
incursion, and battled true Terror in the lost Dwarven city of Karag Dum. He
has also found time to meet and fall in love with Ulrika Magdova Straghov,
though the affair has been a bitter-sweet experience.
Tall, broad-shouldered and
blond, probably the most notable thing about Felix’s handsome features is
the long, thin dueling scar which mars his cheek, a legacy of his student
dueling days. He wears a tattered, red Sudenland wool cloak and though his
clothes are of good quality, they have all seen better days; much like the
poet himself, in fact.
