Fears: grandfather's assistant, heights, werewolves, loneliness
Strengths: Traveling in his life a lot and so changing homes left him with being a skilled multilingual with good ability to read people. Due to his observational skills and having a good role models he has become adapt in telling lies while maintaining a trustworthy aura of a good, proper young man. One of his biggest curses, being stoic is found to be one of his greatest blessings at the same time giving his adversaries hard time predicting his reactions. However, above all else he is a fast and accurate reader. Skill that makes him 'literaly' eat books for breakfast and remember well what he read about. Unlike edictive memory, he don't remember word by word, but have a deeper understanding and it is easier for him to recall what he read about. Furthermore, he seems to make connection between seemingly unrelated things with ease where others may need some considerable time.
Weaknesses:
He is slow to trust others so befriending him, or actually making him to trust anyone is a hard nut to crack. Most likely he will seem snobish and be machiavellian at heart. The type of a person that closes to himself and remains stoic as if to not show any emotions in public while craving attention. Above all however, he is an extreme case of night-person. He could stay awake all night, and most probably take a nap or two during breaks at day, or extremely boring theoretical lesson. Boring, that is, those he read about before and knows what it all is about. Not to mention his rather below avarge constitution that marks him more like a chess than a quidditch player.
Personality:
Felix is one of those nice and proper young people that have high ambitions and equaly high drive to acomplish their goals. When he sets his mind on something he knows he will succeed, it is only a matter of time, resources and doing what it takes to make it. As he is nice and kind towards people he however can't stand being ordered and would rather walk away than comply. It all changes when he see that doing so would move his plans forward, then he merely 'compromise' taking an appropriate mental note for future reference.
Due to some accident when he was younger he is not only preety much afraid of werevolves, but has a limited trust towards other people, but still remains mostly kind (that is, unless his grandfathers influence does not come into play). It is an achivement of sorts to get him highly emocional about anything. Nonetheless, he loves to be noticed and asked for help. Nothing makes him more happy than to know that there are people that counts on him and looks up to him for help or direction.
However, if there is nobody to be there for, he close in to himself and go into scheming to become a Minister of Magic or other person of great power and wealth. Not that he does not do this when there are other people around, for when there are other people around his ambition takes more friendly approach and leads to lighter end than if he was left alone with his distaste for muggle technology and lack of possitive supportive influence.
He has no delusions about magic and equality of muggles and wizardkind, but would rather stay away from muggle technology which he considers disturbing and somewhat distasteful taking into account it's destructive nature and lack of refinement. After all, muggles build things with purpose, magic have multiple-purposes. Wand is not a gun, but may be when one wants too, but muggle weapons were made for sole purpose of killing which he takes as unsettling. Why kill when one can interrogate and obtain vital information that would lead to greater success than mindless murder?

Overall history:
Born and raised up in Den Helder, Netherlands till he was 7 years old and his familly moved to Saint Petersburg in Russia when his ambitious father was offered a diplomatic position within Russian Ministry. Living a new life with learn as you go dictrine yound Felix found himself in totaly different world with people he would once upon a time consider odd at least and for next three years spend his time mostly helping his grandfather, a russian researcher, to whom he took a great liking from day one. Unfortunately, young felix would not say the same of his grandfather's assistant, a slimy character called Michail Dungonov who seemed to be obsessed with the research to the point of being unstable and incomprehensive at times.
Durring those times he spend with his grandfather and thankfully to his young age he have learnt to speak fluent russian and some understanding of Russia and Soviet Russia history. Immersed in new environment not actually understanding his grandfather's research young Felix become interested with books that his grandfather recomended him and whose later became one of his passions. That new found general knowledge, his natural gift for reading people and practised skill of telling lies (which he unknowingly got from a prime role model of his father) soon started to shape young lad's mind and his ambition to become a leader and an important figure was born, wheather he would go into his father's or grandfather's steps, or both.
Durring summer when he was ten he got into an unpleasant situation when wandering out at night with some of his colleagues and one of them appearently was suffering from lycantrophia. Nonetheless, if It was not for a passer-by wizard he's days would be counted. Fortunately, resulting incident left him only with scars that were too severe to mend spotless on back and deep trauma which needed to be obliviated. Unfortunatly, his fear for werewolves remained for it reached to deep to be cured easily. After that situation his parents decided to spend more time with him and his sister. Since that time he was accompaning his father in some of social functions he was expected to attend because of his occupation.
