At his best, he is charismatic, informal, and able to connect with people. He can be a loyal friend and an enthusiastic business partner.

But when he feels threatened (by the police, by the truth, by Jack, or by his own guilt), he becomes evasive, a liar, and capable of obstructing investigations or erasing people from the company's history.

Felix has a severe alcohol addiction, which has plunged him into a highly unstable emotional state. He drinks compulsively, especially when stressed, guilty, or alone. Alcohol makes him more emotional, tearful, impulsive, and prone to memory lapses. He is aware of his addiction (and feels ashamed), but refuses to truly confront it. Alcohol is both his escape and his downfall: it gives him temporary courage, but it worsens all his decisions.

He feels genuine and profound guilt, especially over the deaths of Edd and Molly. He may even contemplate suicide and break down in tears. However, this guilt almost never translates into actual responsibility. He prefers to hide the truth, lie, bury evidence, and protect himself rather than face the consequences. His greatest fear is not just Jack's pain, but what Jack would do to him if he discovered the whole truth.

He tends to victimize himself and see his mistakes as things that "happen" to him rather than as actions for which he is responsible.

He dreamed for years about the animatronic restaurant with Jack and is proud of what they built. He can be warm and approachable with the employees (many call him simply “Felix” instead of “Mr. Kranken”).

However, as a leader, he is mediocre in the long run. He makes impulsive decisions, doesn't plan well, and pushes projects clumsily and dangerously. He is persistent, almost stubborn, but that persistence is usually more desperation than intelligence.

Build: Slim or slightly slim. Not muscular or particularly imposing.

Hair: Short, dark brown. It's usually neatly styled, although sometimes it looks thin or receding. When he's very agitated or drunk, his hair becomes disheveled.

Face: Long and somewhat angular face. Its expression is usually tired, tense, or guilty.

Eyes: Dark.

Glasses: One of his most distinctive features. He wears thick, black-framed glasses.

He almost always appears in formal business attire:
Grey or dark blue/black suit.
White or light-colored shirt.
-Tie (usually dark).
-Sometimes he is seen with his suit a little wrinkled or disheveled when he is in a bad emotional state.

Felix Archer Kranken was born on April 7, 1935, in the United States (possibly in Michigan) into a wealthy family. His father was a successful businessman who owned a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow (the same car Felix would drive years later).

He had a cold and difficult relationship with his family. From a young age, they made him feel that he wasn't enough and that he would never achieve anything important, which left him with very low self-esteem.

At Cleary University, he met Jack Walten and Rosemary Peony. It was there that his big dream was born: to create a restaurant with animatronics. It was also during this time that he began to drink heavily.

In 1962, Felix and Jack founded the Bunny Smiles Company (later Bunny Smiles Incorporated). Felix primarily handled the administrative and management aspects, while Jack contributed the creative vision.

In the mid-1960s, he began dating Linda Thompson. They married, and she moved in with him in 1965. However, the marriage quickly deteriorated due to Felix's alcoholism. He drank more and more, became distant, and avoided confronting his problems. Linda tried to help him many times, but he refused to admit he had a serious problem.

In 1967, the company partnered with CyberFun Tech. The restaurant dream was beginning to take shape. At Christmas 1970, Felix and Jack gave Jack's young children (Edd and Molly) the Rocket rabbit toy.

The Accident (May 2, 1974) – The Breaking Point
This day changed everything.

Linda leaves Felix for good (she goes to Hurricane, Utah) because of his alcoholism.
Jack asks Felix to take Edd and Molly to a school party and bring them back.
Felix accepts, even though he was emotionally devastated that day. He drinks excessively during the party.
On his way home, he drove drunk at high speed. He tried to avoid another vehicle, lost control, went through a guardrail, and the car crashed into Saint Juana's Forest at around 9:54 pm

Edd and Molly die instantly. Felix survives with injuries (broken nose and possible head trauma).

In a state of panic and intoxication:
Bury the children's bodies and the Rocket doll in the forest.
He records a tape confessing what happened (the famous Guilty tape), because he fears he will forget it when he wakes up.
Throw the children's belongings into the river to eliminate evidence.
She lies to the police, saying that she fainted and that the children disappeared.
Days later he tells the same lie to Jack and Rosemary.

Jack and Rosemary are devastated. Although they don't formally report him, they hate him deeply.

They met at university (Cleary University) in the late 1950s. They both shared the same dream: to create a restaurant with animatronics. That idea brought them very close.

Over time, they developed a very close, almost brotherly, friendship. So much so that Jack's children (Edd and Molly) called him 'Uncle Felix'. Jack trusted him completely: he let him drive his children, gave him important responsibilities in the company, and considered him his partner and best friend.

In practice, Felix handled most of the administration and day-to-day operations of Bunny Smiles / Bon's Burgers, while Jack contributed more of the vision and charisma. There was a balance between them.

She majored in business at university.

He hates pizza.

He keeps tools in his trunk and tends not to pick up his things.

I'd probably go out to a bar with Jack if they were having a "boys' night out".

I had a lot of Looney Tunes cartoons from the 60s

His favorite color is blue.

I probably would have hated math as a school subject.

I would lose in a fight against Jack.

I would wear clothes with eye-catching prints, like ties or socks.

Her favorite song is Into each life some rain must fall.

He didn't like disco, but he did like power pop, specifically Badfinger, but also The Raspberries, The Rubinoos, The Flaming Groovies, Cheap Trick, and others. He saw the style as a continuation of the Beatles' musical style when they achieved fame in their generation.

He's not interested in art.

Felix gained weight after the accident.

Felix loves Louis Wain.

Her old cat is named Peter.

Felix did everything he could to hide his addiction from Jack (to stay in his good graces).

Felix admires Jack and sees him as a role model. Despite his affection for Jack, he also harbors a great deal of envy.

Felix is ​​not a religious person, although he is superstitious and during his dark moments he would pray in the hope that someone would hear him.

It is not yet known why he continues to drink alcohol. It is possible that Felix drinks because of something from his past that he is trying to avoid.

He had a bad relationship with his family and his father, and shortly after the latter's death, he broke ties with his family.

Felix loves to play golf.

Felix takes medication to treat his hair loss. However, the medication doesn't stop the hair loss, although it does give him a thicker mullet hairstyle.
