History
Early Life[]
Brian was born and raised within the esteemed halls of the Xavier Mansion, inheriting not only the grandeur of his family's estate but also the weight of their legacy. As the son and heir to the Xavier fortune, he was instilled with a sense of responsibility from an early age. Showing promise from his earliest years, Brian displayed an innate intelligence that set him apart. Entering college, he studied physics and through dedication and hard work, Brian distinguished himself as a renowned scientist, making significant contributions to the advancement of science.
World War II[]
During World War II his father worked on the first A-Bomb at the Manhattan Project.[2]
In 1945, Brian was serving as a lieutenant in the US Navy, he found himself stationed aboard a US Navy aircraft carrier in the Pacific amidst the chaos of war. As the ship became a target for the Japanese air force, danger loomed on the horizon. Little did Brian know, one of the enemy pilots harbored a sinister agenda, possessed by the time-traveling entity known as Omega Red. Omega Red's nefarious intent was to eradicate Charles before his birth, altering the course of history. However, another traveler through time, Logan, intervened. Despite the complexities of temporal manipulation, Logan managed to intercept the enemy plane, thwarting its destructive mission and safeguarding the future.[3]
Post-War[]
After the conclusion of the war, Brian Xavier's pursuit of nuclear research led him to the Alamogordo, New Mexico nuclear testing facility, where he eagerly delved into ground-breaking scientific endeavors. At Alamogordo, Brian forged a professional partnership with Dr. Kurt Marko, a colleague whose expertise complemented his own. Together, they embarked on ambitious projects aimed at pushing the boundaries of nuclear science and technology.[4] Dr. Alexander Ryking worked at the Alamogordo alongside Brian and Kurt.[5]
Marriage to Sharon[]
He met and eventually married a woman named Sharon, who quickly became the center of his world. Their happiness multiplied when Sharon became pregnant with twins, a prospect that filled them with joy. Little did they know, both of them harbored latent mutant abilities. As their unborn children grew within Sharon's womb, an unexpected revelation unfolded. Charles, the boy, manifested his psychic sensitivity, detecting something amiss with his sister, Cassandra. Unbeknownst to them, Cassandra was not just a typical fetus; she was a malevolent psychic entity known as a "Mummudrai," wielding formidable powers even in utero. Sensing the imminent danger posed by his sister's malevolent presence, Charles instinctively utilized his nascent powers to protect himself and his mother. In a desperate psychic struggle, he managed to suppress Cassandra's lethal intentions, preventing her from harming Sharon from within the womb. However, the psychic confrontation took its toll on Sharon, overwhelming her with a surge of chaotic energy. In her disoriented state, she lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs, only to be discovered by Brian, who arrived just in time to witness the aftermath of this harrowing ordeal.[6]
Birth of Charles[]
One evening, as Sharon Xavier went into labor at the mansion, attended closely by the local midwife, Brian paced the study with a drink in hand, eagerly awaiting news. Despite his butler's offer for another, he declined, seeking solace on the balcony for some fresh air. Suddenly, he narrowly avoided being struck by a pair of gardening shears, only to be rescued by a mysterious man who introduced himself as Logan. The assailant was revealed to be the possessed gardener, host to the time-traveling consciousness of Omega Red. Logan, too, found his mind traversing time, inhabiting his younger self. As Brian rushed to protect his wife and unborn child, he was ambushed by the now-possessed butler, who shot him on the staircase. Amidst the chaos, Cassandra, one of the twins, was born stillborn. Yet, as Brian reached Sharon's side, the midwife succumbed to possession, turning on them both. Logan sprang into action, engaging Omega Red just as Charles entered the world. In the confusion, Sharon fired at Logan, unaware of the circumstances, but Logan intervened, knocking Omega Red out of the window. With Charles cradled safely in his arms, Logan ensured the newborn's well-being amidst the tumult.[7]
Black Womb[]
Brian collaborated with esteemed scientists like Dr. Alexander Ryking, Dr. Kurt Marko and Irene Adler within the clandestine corridors of Project: Black Womb. This covert government initiative, spearheaded by Amanda Müeller and shrouded in secrecy, delved into the study of thousands of children, primarily mutants, without directly altering their genetic makeup.[5] Despite his wife Sharon's objections, Brian consented to subjecting their son to testing and experimentation, given the presence of his latent X-Gene.[8] The project, overseen by the enigmatic Dr. Nathan Milbury, (alias Mr. Sinister), maintained these young subjects within postnatal holding tanks, a haunting testament to the depths of their research. During their tenure at the facility, Dr. Xavier and Dr. Marko found themselves embroiled in a tumultuous search when Marko's adolescent son, Cain Marko, was discovered wandering the premises. Unbeknownst to them, the shape-shifting Mystique operated covertly within their midst, her true identity concealed beneath layers of deception. The facility harbored secrets beyond imagination, including the presence of a young mutant named Toad, confined within its containers.[5] Events took a surreal turn when Mystique, alongside the formidable Juggernaut and the diminutive Toad, found themselves propelled back in time, inhabiting their younger selves. Their mission: to unravel the mysteries of Project: Black Womb, a journey fraught with peril and the weight of unspoken truths.[5]
Death[]
Later when Charles and Carter Ryking were young children, the scientist became involved in Shiva Scenario which became part of the Weapon X program.[5] Dr. Ryking's son Carter manifested mutant powers he placed him under heavy sedation. While in the medical induced coma his father was killed in a accident in which Carter speculator Kurt was involved.[5] Later an exceedingly perilous experiment, Brian and his colleague Kurt found themselves engulfed in a catastrophic nuclear explosion, transforming their workplace into a scene of fiery devastation. Trapped amidst the rubble, Brian's desperate situation contrasted sharply with Kurt's freedom of movement. Despite having the opportunity to rescue Brian, Kurt callously abandoned him to his fate, sealing Brian's tragic demise. With Brian's untimely passing, his widow, Sharon, was left to grapple with profound grief and loss. Seeking solace in their shared sorrow, she found comfort in the company of Kurt Marko, unaware of his ulterior motives. While Sharon believed their bond deepened through mutual mourning for Brian and their fallen coworker, Kurt harbored more sinister intentions, driven by a desire to win Sharon's affections for himself. The loss of Brian had a profound impact on their son, Charles, shaping the trajectory of his life in unforeseen ways. As fate would have it, Kurt and his stepson Cain eventually came to reside at the Xavier mansion, intertwining their destinies in a complex web of familial dynamics and unresolved emotions.[4][9]

Dr. Xavier's son would become a professor and use the considerable amount of inheritance and the family estate to found the X-Men, a group of young mutants taught to use their powers for the benefit of mankind and fighting for the peaceful co-existence of the two races.[2]Attributes
