Felix
Episode: DS9 556 - Treachery, Faith, and the Great River
Friend of Julian Bashir who created the Vic Fontaine holosuite program which proved to be very popular at Deep Space 9. Felix designed Fontaine to be self-aware as a hologram, believing it would give the character an attitude appropriate for the 1960's era he represented. Felix also inserted a "jack-in-the-box" in Vic's program — a deeply buried surprise algorithm to keep things interesting — in the form of Frankie Eyes, a mobster character who threatened Vic's life and livelihood. The jack-in-the-box would not allow deletion of characters, and resetting the program would eliminate all of Vic's memories, so users were forced to help Vic defeat Frankie Eyes in a way that was period-specific.
