"Getafix, the venerable
village druid. Gathers mistletoe and brews magic potions.
His specialty is the potion which gives superhuman strength.
But Getafix also has other recipes up his sleeve."
Without Getafix the village of "indomitable" Gauls
would have been conquered long ago. If it wasn't for Getafix
Asterix would be a tramp begging for food to feed his frail
body and Obelix - he would be a Roman Menhir Delivery man.
Getafix is my favorite character - I don't know why, he just
is.
It would seem that Getafix is the most famous of the Druids.
Not just for his amazing magic potion, but for his knowledge.
In Asterix and the Big Fight, the druid Psychoanalytix said
"Getafix? Dear old Getafix who taught us everything
we know? Getafix who has secrets known only to himself?"
From what this druid says, it would seem that Getafix started
the whole "druid" sect.
But if this was true, why isn't he the "head"
druid as seen in Asterix and the Goths? Maybe he just wanted
his life to be simpler. Getafix has won druid of the year
many a time. Winning a Golden Menhir and Golden Cauldron among
many things. Don't ask me what a menhir has got to do with
the druid occupation....
