History: Obelix was born and raised in a small Gaulish village that resisted Roman occupation. His father was a menhir deliveryman, and Obelix followed in his footsteps, becoming a deliveryman himself. As a child, Obelix fell into a cauldron of magic potion, which permanently gave him incredible strength and endurance. However, due to the potion's effects being permanent on him, Obelix cannot drink it anymore.

Obelix became best friends with Asterix, another Gaulish warrior, and together they defended their village from Roman attacks and other threats. Obelix was known for his love of food, particularly wild boar, and his habit of breaking into song and dance in the midst of battles. He also had a pet dog named Dogmatix, whom he loved dearly.

Obelix and Asterix embarked on numerous adventures beyond their village, fighting Roman legionaries, pirates, and other enemies. Despite their conflicts with Julius Caesar, Obelix and Asterix sometimes found themselves reluctantly aiding the Roman Empire in their fights against foreign conquerors.

Personality: Obelix is known for his huge appetite, love of food, and jovial personality. He has a heart of gold and is fiercely loyal to his friends and village. Although he is not the brightest person, he has a kind heart and a strong sense of justice. Obelix can be stubborn at times, but his determination and strength make him a formidable opponent in battle. Despite his size and strength, Obelix is often childlike and playful, enjoying simple pleasures like food and music. He is also fiercely protective of Dogmatix, whom he considers to be a member of his family.
