!!'''Professor Felix Navarro'''

* [[spoiler:CoolOldGuy]]: [[spoiler:He's really around sixty-two, but hasn't physically aged since at least his twenties]].
* [[spoiler:DarkAndTroubledPast]]: [[spoiler:In the fifties, he was the leader of the Phantom Investigators at the time, also consisting of Daemona's grandparents and a fourth member, Willard Plowright. After Willard made a deal with the [=NetherRealm=] to become a vampire, the other three members linked a portal to send him back to the realm, but not before he bit Navarro, thus cursing him to become a vampire.

* GadgeteerGenius
* [[spoiler:ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty]]: [[spoiler:While he became a vampire around the time he was fifteen, he appears to be in his twenties in the series. It could be possible that it took a few years for his curse to go into full effect. He hasn't aged since the early sixties at the latest]].
* TheMentor: Toward the [=PIs=].
* NiceGuy: A very friendly mentor figure toward the gang.
* [[spoiler:OlderThanTheyLook]]: [[spoiler:Looks like he's in his twenties, but is actually around sixty-two as he stopped aging due to being a vampire]].

* UndyingLoyalty: Especially evident in "From Egypt, With Love". After the Egyptian pharaoh the gang performed last rites on realized that Kira was the reincarnation of his princess, he attempts to take her with him to the afterlife- which she almost agrees to doing. As the gang try to pull her away, he asks why they're protesting so much. Daemona tells him that Kira's her best friend, and if she goes with him, [[{{Determinator}} she'll never stop searching for her]].
