Farah/Felix Hauville

Farah/Felix Hauville is an Agent of Unit Bravo, and a potential love interest to the Detective in The Wayhaven Chronicles.

Book One
Agent Hauville was called into Wayhaven as part of their current mission: stopping a dangerous vampire who has been experimenting and killing humans with a certain blood mutation. His latest and final target is Wayhaven's new detective and Unit Bravo's handler Rebecca's child.

They are introduced, along with the rest of Unit Bravo, as a federal agent working on the same case as the Detective, who are there to aid in the investigation. Hauville and Agent M ignore the Detective's explanation of the case in favor of receiving Agent du Mortain's instructions. This in part leads to the Detective's frustrated outburst, much to Hauville's delight. Agent Sewell smooths things over by offering to accompany the Detective on whatever task they deem most important. If the Detective chooses to return to the murder scene, Hauville accompanies them as well. While they are out, Dr. Solomon Verda calls to inform the Detective of the blood results from the murder victim. Sewell attempts to convince the Detective that the results are a flimsy clue at best and they return to the station.

A second murder in Wayhaven occurs, and this time the victim is a young boy named Garret Hayes. When the Detective leaves to inform his mother of his death, du Mortain insists that they take a member of Unit Bravo with them as back-up. One of the options is taking Hauville.

If taken to deliver the news, then Hauville asks whether the Detective has ever done this before. If the Detective answers yes, they assert that it will make the whole thing easier. If the Detective admits they have never done this before, they quote Sewell. Once they see Kate Hayes, Garret's mother, break down, however, they freeze and are uncertain how to behave. When the Detective states that it's time to leave as they won't be able to get any answers from her, Hauville is indignant and eases the woman's grief using their pheromones. Afterward, they return with the Detective to the police station where Agent du Mortain and Agent Sewell meet them in the lobby.

After a story released in the paper sends the town into a panic, the Mayor demands that the Detective goes on patrol to ease everyone's mind. Agent Sewell declares that Unit Bravo would be happy to accompany the Detective. The rogue vampire that Unit Bravo has been hunting makes an appearance and attempts to track down the Detective. If Hauville is with them, they attempt to use their pheromones to cover up the Detective's scent.

The following day, they observe du Mortain and Sewell's argument over whether to tell the Detective the truth. They voice their support of Sewell but point out that when the two go head to head, Sewell always folds. After du Mortain has an equally disastrous argument with the Detective, they sarcastically congratulate them on their people skills. When it turns out that the unit has lost track of the Detective after they stormed off, the go looking for them. Shortly after they manage to locate them, the identity of the vampire is revealed and the five are attacked by a hoard of thralls.

When the Detective comes to, the truth is revealed. Hauville jokes about their vampirism and offers to place bets on whether the Detective will handle the existence of the supernatural or crack. After the group returns to Wayhaven and settles into the Detective's apartment, Hauville makes a point of visiting them to make sure they really are handling it. A few days pass before the rogue vampire Murphy makes a move and attacks the Detective's apartment.

(if Romanced)

Hauville escapes the apartment with the Detective and defends them from attacking thralls while they try to get to their car. Murphy captures the Detective and subdues Hauville. By the time they recover, Murphy and the Detective are gone and Hauville returns to the apartment to report what happened to Rebecca and the rest of the Unit. Du Mortain comforts them, assuring them that they will rescue the Detective.

(if not Romanced)

Hauville remains at the apartment while the Detective escapes. The agent who tried to get the Detective to their car returns to report that Murphy has kidnapped the Detective. If the agent is Agent M, they ask if losing the Detective upsets them.

The Unit finds the Detective in an abandoned warehouse and have a showdown with Murphy while the injured Detective rests. However, they are unable to defeat Murphy. The Detective comes up with a plan, and regardless of whether the plan works, Hauville visits the Detective in the hospital with the rest of Unit Bravo, bringing them a bouquet of balloons.

Personality
"'I always think you're more fun.'"

Farah/Felix is outgoing and flirtatious. They greet the Detective with a kiss on the cheek or hand (depending on the gender dynamics) and are delighted if the flirtation is returned. They are very observant and appreciate honesty and straightforwardness. Farah/Felix is very talented at finding the right buttons to push when they want to, but they are not intentionally cruel; rather, they seem unintentionally tactless at times. They are very enthusiastic about just about anything and everything, but with that comes a certain naivete.

They have a short attention span and a tendency to move from interest to interest quickly. However, they aren't necessarily flighty. Despite their laidback attitude, they are the most ambitious member of the unit, pointing out that higher positions come with better freedoms.

Because of their flirtatious nature, they tend to be unlucky in love. They tend to attract people looking for something short-term; however, they are a romantic at heart and looking for a committed relationship. They have had many bad breakups, but remain the biggest romantic of the unit.

Appearance
Felix is described as being 5'7" with a lithe (thin) build, dark brown skin, amber eyes, and short afro-textured black hair.

Farah is described as being 5'4" with a lithe (thin) build, dark brown skin, amber eyes, and medium length afro-textured black hair.

Agent du Mortain
Agent du Mortain is Agent Hauville's immediate superior, and Hauville respects them a great deal and views them as a parental figure. However, this doesn't stop Hauville from deliberately pushing du Mortain's buttons whenever the opportunity presents itself. Their flippant, unprofessional behavior annoys du Mortain, but due to their close relationship, they get away with it.

(Love Triangle)

If the Love Triangle route is active, Hauville pities everyone involved and tries to convince du Mortain to be honest about their feelings.

Agent Sewell
Agent Sewell also acts as a parental substitute for Agent Hauville, though of a different kind. Hauville thinks that Sewell is too stiff and formal; however, Sewell is the first person they seek out when they need help or answers. They also seem to be in awe of Sewell's skill with languages and note that Sewell was a better English tutor than the one assigned by the Agency. When Sewell and du Mortain argue, they tend to side in favor of Sewell.

(Love Triangle)

If the Love Triangle route is active, Hauville pities everyone involved and tries to hint to Sewell that du Mortain and the Detective have a connection. They are afraid that if too many secrets are kept, then it will tear their found-family apart.

Agent Morgan/Mason
When Hauville first joined Unit Bravo, Agent Mason/Morgan showed an interest in them that was reciprocated until Hauville realized that Mason/Morgan wasn't looking for a serious relationship. They turned down the offer and instead became good friends. The two get on well and are very close, frequently spending time together and sharing similar humor.

Rebecca
Rebecca is Hauville's handler and the one who suggested they be placed on Unit Bravo. Hauville respects her deeply but wishes she would let her hair down a bit.

The Detective
Hauville flirts with the Detective upon meeting them and continues to do so throughout Book One prior to the Detective choosing their LI. They feel at ease around the Detective, and often let things slip about their true nature. By Book Two, they consider the Detective to be a part of their family and never question whether they belong on the team.

(if not in a romance)

Hauville provides the Detective with honest companionship, and checks in on them after the reveal. If asked, they offer to be the Detective's guide to all things supernatural. If the Detective is in a relationship with one of their teammates, then Hauville is supportive of the relationship and tries to help it along by encouraging honesty and alone time.

(if in a romance)

Hauville becomes very fond of the Detective and is easily caught up in the moment during their romance. They aren't shy about their flirting, but make it clear that they are looking for a committed relationship. If the Detective is equally honest about their attraction, then Hauville is delighted.

Speed and Agility
Agent Hauville is the fastest and most agile member of Unit Bravo.

Strength
They are weaker than the rest of the unit but due to their vampirism, they are much stronger than a human.

Accelerated Healing
Like all vampires, they heal at an accelerated rate.

Pheromones and Heightened Senses
Hauville has stronger senses of taste, touch, hearing, smell, and sight than that of a human. They are also able to use their pheromones to control others, though their pheromones seem to work differently and not as strong as other vampires.

Creating Thralls
One of their unique abilities as a natural vampire, Hauville is able to create thralls.
