History
Gabrielle was a woman of Roma descent who during World War II was imprisoned in a german concentration camp.[1] Following the war, the traumatic experience she endured left her in a vegetative state and spent time in a mental institute, where she met another patient named Charles Xavier. Harrowed after discovering the cause of Gabrielle's broken mental state, Xavier entered her mind and destroyed the trauma, personified in the form of a Unteroffizier, that haunted her for years. Having her mind back, the two fell in love and after Charles left the hospital, he took Gabrielle with him to live in his house. The couple eventually married and had a son named David Haller, who inherited his father's telepathic abilities. Charles believed himself to be the only one of his kind in the world until he sensed another telepath in Morocco. Despite Gabrielle's pleas Charles left to meet the man, who turned out to be Amahl Farouk, a very old and powerful Mutant.[2] Charles battled Farouk on the Astral Plane and eventually was able to separate Shadow King's consciousness from his body, diminishing his threat. However, Farouk instead attached himself to Charles' son, which eventually led to him and Gabrielle giving David up for adoption in an attempt to hide him from the threat.[3]
Notes
- Stephanie Corneliussen portrays Gabrielle Xavier in the third season of the TV series Legion by FX.
- Because this version of the character is Romani instead of Jewish[2] and David's name "Haller" has already been shown to come from his adoptive family,[4] Gabrielle's maiden name remains unrevealed.
