Fel Ix was a Kessarine male, belonging to the Path of the Open Hand. He was a partner of Ferize, along with Er Dal, and in 382 BBY, they saw the birth of five children. Subsequently, these children were celebrated in a Naming ceremony conducted by the Path. During the ceremony, the Mother, a leader of the Path, bestowed a blessing upon them, formally inducting them into the Path.
Marda Ro, a fellow member of the Path, shared a close friendship with Fel Ix and his family. She played a supportive role in both the Naming ceremony and the upbringing of their children. In the same year as the Naming ceremony, she paid a farewell visit to the family, as she was departing from the Path compound located on Dalna. Upon hearing her express that they were also her family, Fel Ix offered her comfort, acknowledging and affirming their bond. Subsequently, Fel Ix and Er Dal assembled their children, while Ferize and Ro proceeded to investigate an unusual noise.
