==History==
Felix is one of the earliest successful [[Primaris Space Marine]]s created by [[Dominus|Archdominus]] [[Belisarius Cawl|Cawl]], having been taken as an aspirant from [[Laphis]] shortly after the [[Horus Heresy]] had ended. He would then spend thousands of years in and out of cryo sleep as he was further experimented on and slept in prolonged hypno-indoctrination. This all changed when the [[Primarch]] [[Roboute Guilliman]] was reborn and became the [[Lord Commander]] of the [[Imperium]]'s forces, during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]]. In order to aid the Imperium in its darkest hour, the Primaris Space Marines were finally unleashed and joined the Lord Commander's [[Indomitus Crusade]], deep into the [[Dark Imperium]]. Felix performed well in the Crusade and rose to the rank of [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] in the Primaris' [[Unnumbered Sons]]. This, however, drew the attention of Guilliman himself, who selected Felix to be his latest [[Equerry]]. To Felix's surprise though, the Lord Commander immediately made the Primaris a [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] in the [[Ultramarines]] [[Chapter]], something Guilliman had never done with his previous Equerries. Even stranger still, Felix was made the Eleventh Captain of the Chapter, which broke the mandates laid down in the Lord Commander's own [[Codex Astartes]].{{Fn|2a}}
Though these decisions would occasionally trouble Felix, he served well in his role as [[Equerry]]{{Fn|2a}} and after the first phase of the [[Indomitus Crusade]] was concluded, he was among the [[Imperium]] forces that [[Guilliman]] led to aid the [[Realm of Ultramar]]. [[Ultramar]] had been suffering a series of invasions known as the [[Plague Wars]] for more than a century, and after Guilliman arrived, he convened a strategic meeting with the leaders of his forces. During the meeting though, Guilliman discussed not only how they would defeat [[Nurgle]]'s armies that were infesting Ultramar, but also the Realm's future. The [[Lord Commander]] stated he had made a mistake by decreasing Ultramar's size in the aftermath of the [[Horus Heresy]] and now planned to make it even larger than it once was. In order to ensure this would take place, Guilliman reinstated the rank of [[Tetrarch of Ultramar|Tetrarch]] and chose Felix to be one of its members. Though Felix felt unworthy of the title, Guilliman claimed that the [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]]'s efforts during the Indomitus Crusade proved he had the qualities the position required. The Lord Commander also stated that he had been preparing Felix for the role ever since he chose the Captain as his Equerry. After hearing this, Felix accepted the position of Tetrarch and was given command of the world [[Vespastor]] and was charged with doing whatever was necessary to expand Ultramar's eastern territories.{{Fn|2b}}
