Origin

Gabrielle Haller was a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp in Germany. During her time at the camp, the secret location of a hidden stash of gold was implanted in her mind. A result of this was schizophrenia that caused Gabrielle to go into a catatonic coma.

After the war, Gabrielle was hospitalized in Israel. It was here that a young Charles Xavier (Professor X) first met her. Charles was a mutant with telepathic abilities. He used his powers to help cure Gabrielle. As she recovered, the two fell in love.

Their relationship didn't last long, but Gabrielle soon found herself pregnant with Charles' son (Legion), whom she named David Charles. Gabrielle decided not to burden Charles with the revelation of their child. It wasn't until David's teen years that Charles was contacted in trying to help their child's mental issues.

Gabrielle currently is Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom.
