Gotrek and Felix are a pair of characters in the Warhammer Fantasy setting, appearing in a series of novels written primarily by William King, secondarily by Nathan Long.
The novels chronicle the adventures of a Dwarfen Slayer named Gotrek Gurnisson and his poet/insurrectionist companion, Felix Jaeger. As a Slayer, Gotrek seeks a glorious death in battle to atone for his unknown sins. Felix, bound to him by a Dwarven blood-oath sworn after a drinking binge, is tasked with writing and recording his heroic exploits and ultimately his death. Felix, however, has long since come to adopt the opinion that "anything capable of killing The Slayer would finish me off shortly afterwards". Together they have rid the Old World of trolls, skaven, beastmen, orcs, mutants, dark elves, goblins, chaos worshippers and other monsters beyond count, on several occasions they have also destroyed other much more powerful beasts such as dragons, giants, vampires and daemons, but seem doomed never to be recognized for their heroic achievements.
As well as appearing in the novels they have also been incorporated into the Warhammer Fantasy Battle game appearing initially as hero characters for the Dwarf army and then later in the Dogs of War army book.
The characters also make an appearance in the Warhammer Fantasy MMORPG Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

Famous quotes containing the word felix:
“There is no call for indignation or resentment at anyone whatsoever inquiring, holding,
or propounding views concerning the divine, for it is not the authority of the disputant, but
the truth of the disputation that is in the request.”
—Marcus Minucius Felix (2nd or 3rd cen. A.D.)
