OVERVIEW
you are born a mutant. there is no hiding it with those blackened eyes and their burning red irises. your parents are frightened of what they brought into the world. they leave as soon as they are able & they leave without you.
abandoned in that louisiana hospital, it appeared like you would be bound for this world alone. but the thieves guild of new orleans would have other plans. believed to be the devil eyed child prophesied to untie the thieves & assassins guilds, you would be taken from your bed in the dead of night.
you would grow up among the thieves guild. learning their ways to become a thief in your own right. you are a cocky little thing at ten years old, trying to pickpocket the very man who runs the thieves guild. jean-luc lebeau catches you easily. but rather than punish, he decides to take you in & raise you as his own son. it is thanks to jean-luc’s tutelage that you become a better thief & a better fighter with him gifting you your first bo staff.
at eighteen, it came time for you to fulfill the duty for which you were taken into the thieves guild in the first place. a marriage would be arranged between you & bella donna boudreaux of the assassins guild. the two of you had known each other since you were children & despite being in rival guilds had maintained a friendship over the years.
opposition to the union didn’t come into play until after you two were married. bella donna’s brother, julien, did not agree with the desire for peace. he would challenge you to a fight to the death. older than you & far more experienced fighter, julien had the upper hand for a vast majority of the fight. it was then when the real lengths of your mutation made itself known. accidentally charging a throwing knife with kinetic energy, you would end up killing julien. despite him issuing the challenge & your actions being in self defense, you would be exiled with your marriage annulled in effort to keep the peace between the guilds.
for the first time in a long time, you were on your own. you adapted & thrived. using the skills acquired from years spent in the thieves guild & your newfound mutant abilities, you would make a name for yourself as a master thief.
the x-men would come to play a significant role in your life. not something you thought possible upon your first introduction to them. you weren’t one for being a team player, but it would somewhat grow on you. you come & go easily from the x-mansion. each stay lasting a little longer than the last.
just over a year has passed since you were last in new york, last at xavier’s. you keep your cards close to your chest about why you were gone for so long. dealings with the thieves guild in new orleans were personal after all. the only thing that matters is that you are back & don’t plan on going anywhere ... for now.
