Real Name: Remy Ettienne LeBeau
Code-Name: Gambit, Weapon IV
Team Affiliation: Weapon X
Age: 26
Height: 6'1'
Hair: Brown
Weight: 175
Powers: Gambit has the mutant ability to tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy. When Gambit thus charges an object with kinetic energy and throws it at a target, the object releases this energy explosively on impact.
Fighting skills: Excellent hand-to-hand combatant, utilizing street fighting techniques and acrobatics. He has fine honed into a living breathing fighting machine by Weapon X.
Special skills and abilities: Bilingual in English and French, ability to throw small objects, including knives, throwing spikes, and playing cards, with extraordinary accuracy.
History:
A homeless boy wandering the streets, Gambit was adopted by Jean-Luc LeBeau, head of the council of the Thieves Guild, a criminal organization based in New Orleans. As part of a peace pact between the Thieves Guild and their rivals, the Assassins Guild, a marriage was arranged between Gambit and Bella Donna Boudreaux, the granddaughter of the head of the Assassins. However, Bella Donna's brother Julien objected to the marriage and challenged Gambit to a duel. Severely wounding Julien, Gambit was forced to flee New Orleans to prevent war between the two guilds.
Gambit wandered the world as he plied his skills as a master thief, aided by his mutant power to charge objects with explosive energy. He employed playing cards he charged with kinetic energy as his trademark weapon. He was caught during a job gone horribly wrong he'd been hired to do in Canada. Arrested and sent to jail, Remy was approached by a man he thought there to represent him in court. That man turned out not to be a court appointed attorney at all but rather Colonel John Wraith with Weapon X.
Hardly in any position to refuse, his hands trapped within specially designed gloves to keep him from using his powers, Remy agreed to go with the Colonel thinking he could make his escape as soon as he was outside the jail. Things didn't go that way. He was drugged as soon as he said yes and taken to the secret base for Weapon X. Soon he was brainwashed and became one of the Weapons his superiors knew that they could count on.
((I went with the Weapon X history rather than the canon because I read your Sub Plots forum and figured it would be cool and a nod to the canon history if he was a major part of this massacre too. He can always join the X-men after the plot completes.))
"Sides...Remy gotta have sum'ting to do, non."
