Felix is originally from a different Prime Material, where magic is far less of a presence and most politicking is done with the steady knowledge that whichever Duke or Duchess is proclaiming decrees and laws has enough sword arms to actually back it up.
Felix grew up in that environment, coming eventually to be in charge of a keep and it's surrounding town, on behalf of his liege lord. In his final months on his Prime, a Planar wizard made his services available, which the highest bidder made certain to retain. That patron just so happened to be in conflict with Felix's lord.
The short, brutal war that took place cost Felix not his place in society, but also to his knowledge, the lives of his two daughters and his wife. Without due consideration, Felix tracked down the wizard, and followed the fleeing figure through a Gate - without question.
That single act led Felix to Sigil, where he remained - surviving as best as he could manage while still trying to track down that one, particular wizard. His efforts eventually took Felix from the Planes to Faerun, specifically along the Sword Coast. He continues his hunt there, following whatever lead he can find.
Goals: Find the wizard "Movas" and bring him to justice.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
Hook: Felix is hunting a wizard, and though for him it is near enough to revenge as it is justice, he doesn't intend to hack him apart - he means to see him arrested and brought to trial for his crimes. However there are numerous complications - the proof, the fact that it happened worlds away, Felix's zeal could just as likely complicate the matter. If there were to be a plot with this, it would probably be best as a background piece, slow cooking so to speak.
Hook: One of Felix's daughter's is very much alive, and in the past decade and change has become quite the adventurer herself - tracking down her father as she lives with a slightly different narrative than the one Felix is perusing.
Fact/Hook: While in Sigil Felix joined up with the Bleak Cabal, and found himself doing well within their order, though when "Movas" appeared and the chance to confront or follow him appeared, he had to take his chance. Now some time has passed in Faerun. It's hard to maintain those beliefs, so far from the Cage. Especially his personal (former?) belief in adherence to the law. The Coast has brought it back, but that doesn't mesh at all with the Bleakers.
Fact: A life of regimented discipline is hard to step away from and though he is often left to his own devices, making his own choices rather than taking commands, he still tries to adhere to certain protocols. At the very least he stands rather rigidly for a man out of uniform.

A very emotional dramatic shot!
