Felix: The Contrarian

Felix made a name for himself by getting shit done and crushing competition. He knows how to spur people to action but not how to motivate or inspire them. He's not an imposing figure – less than average height – but his bright and icy eyes grace him with an outsized presence. He can play the game with the customers and competitors, but he knows they're all shit heads he won't feel guilty about screwing. 

For a long time, he had no purpose higher than making buckets of money as fast as possible. But something happened in his mid 30s, soon after he got his first executive level job. He found himself in a room full of these guys – yes, all guys – and felt a flash of anger like he had back in college at a fraternity house. He never joined a fraternity because he didn't want to waste his time with those douche bags. He spent his career up to that point admiring these men – well, their position and power – but now saw a small space infested with rapacious halfwits. The lot of them. Racist, misogynist, queerphobic fucking fucks. 

He could play the game. He could make money. He could be ruthless. But he would not do any of that or burn himself out for those assholes. He was now with them, but he was not one of them.

Soon after his promotion, he left the company and started his own financial services firm focused on high-risk, high-yield investments that bet against the ass clowns. And when they tanked in 2008 he made more money than he could ever use, then sold his company and made more money. And now as a rich, influential, pissed off motherfucker, he works in any way he can to annoy, heckle, harry, and vex the corporate jackalopes.

He lives in his gated estate alone – no kids, no family, no significant other – and he likes it that way. He doesn't have friends so much as aligned business partners who needle the oligarchs because they think it's fun. This is what makes Felix the anti-hero: doing the right things for the wrong reasons. 

He's been known to spend too much time on Reddit, and he hates LinkedIn.

When he looks out at the state of the world, he kind of enjoys it because he sees the long game. He sees that in the end these powerful bastards will eat it. He tries to be patient, to let them create their own complicated fates, but, man, he wants to help them along.
