Tabletop Lore

Son of a lesser noble from the North, Felix lost everything during Dragonblight. He has endured, however. Completing his studies despite the adversity, and the loss of his parents, funding and home. Compassionately, the University of Canos offered him employment when he completed his studies in a bid to pay them back. Thus he is now contracted to five years working under the Proctors of the university, providing security and overwatch to threats within and outside the campus.
