It was established in Another Place (that we can't get to at the minute) that the serial henchmen of Acheron known as Felixes were named for Felix Topolski, artist and illustrator and friend of Jasper's grandfather.
A little googling reveals that Topolski was well named, being a top drawer; see

for more info and pics.
Jasper’s grandfather Joseph Retinger is even more interesting - see
