Felix Philip

Felix is a student at Brooklyn House. He is ten years old, making him one of the youngest recruits. He would like to follow the path of the Egyptian ice god, even though there is none, so instead he follows the path of P'tah. He has an obsession with penguins.

## The Throne of Fire

Felix arrives at Brooklyn House at age nine. Sadie notes that he loves penguins and had transported a winter wonderland into the fireplace. When Sadie tells everyone one about her dream, Felix asks if they are all going to die when everyone else was afraid to. He also starts singing "Happy Birthday" when Sadie mentions it's her birthday, but no one joins in.

In Carter's lesson, Magic Problem Solving 101, Felix uses a basketball to make a shabti lose its balance, causing it to shatter into pieces. When the three headed snake attacks Carter and his other trainees, Felix takes off his left shoe and throws it at one of the heads.

In the The Battle of Brooklyn House, he summons a squad of penguins, which are quite effective as the magicians who were sent to Antarctica seemed to be terrified of them.

## The Serpent's Shadow

Felix had summoned several penguins while raiding the gift shop with his fellow trainees as Carter and Sadie were outside. These penguins, when discovered, were wearing King Tut masks. He fended off evil spirits in the brief battle against Apophis with a powerful aura. However near the end of the battle it started to fail. After the failed attempt at Texas, the next morning he carved mini penguins shabti out of his mashed potatoes and brought them to life.

In the final battle, Felix encases his enemies in snowmen with an army of penguins that pecked at enemy magicians and stole their wands. At the end of the book, he says that he was meant to follow the path of the ice god, much to Carter's confusion, as Egypt is a desert, and there would be no ice. Carter asked if there is a god of ice and Felix replied enthusiastically that he had no idea

## Personality

Felix has an innocent, somewhat playful personality, and is viewed as a little brother by most of the Brooklyn House. He is also known to be talented at playing basketball. He prefers to use things like shoes, penguins, and basketballs as weapons, rather than magic. He likes to use magic for practical jokes and summoning magical penguins, but not really for combat.
