## Professor X

### Childhood: 1963 - 1976

Charles was born into wealth and education. His father, Brian, was a doctor and his mother, Sharon, was a wealthy heiress with a passion for philanthropy. Charles had an older half-brother, Cain Marko, a child born from Sharon’s previous marriage which split his time between his two parents’ homes.

Brian Xavier died when Charles was eight. While Sharon Xavier didn‘t remarry, she did become quite close with her first husband, meaning that Charles’ older brother Cain was around more often, especially after his father moved into the ancestral Graymalkin Estate. This would lead to an intense rivalry between the two half-brothers. Though Cain had a truly remarkable athletic ability, Kurt Marko favored the gentle, smart Charles over his own son, which led to Cain cruelly bullying Charles. This went on until Cain went to fight in the final days of the Vietnam conflict. Cain didn‘t come home.

Cain was reported as KIA and as a result, Sharon became distraught and began to drink.

### Coming of Age: 1976 - 1979

Charles' telepathic powers began emerging after his thirteenth birthday. As he grow older, he learned to control them. He tried to help his mother recover from the loss of her son, but no matter what Charles tried, it was not long before she returned to the bottle.

Using his powers, Charles discovered that Kurt Marko planned to kill Sharon for her money. Charles was able to foil the murder attempt by compelling Kurt Marko to surrender himself to the police and confess.

Returning from enrolling for college, sixteen-year-old Charles came home to find Sharon dead in the kitchen, having overdosed on pills.

### Education: 1979 - 1987

At Empire State University, Charles studied genetics and education. As he worked on his doctorate’s degrees, Charles became involved in the Human Genome Project, hoping to discover the secrets to finding more like him. While working in this capacity, Charles met Erik Lehnsherr and Moira MacTaggert. It did not take long for a psychic such as Charles to discover that Lehnsherr was a man who possessed unique abilities, different from Charles’ own. The two became quick friends. When the two found evidence that there was an entity involved in the project that was interested in finding ways to identify mutants, the two became paranoid and left the project, taking some stolen documents with them.

### Xavier's Dream: 1987 - 1995

At Charles' family estate, Erik and Charles used the stolen files to locate other mutants. Erik brought his children to the estate and also contacted some other mutants he had encountered in his past to aid them, while Charles invited Moira MacTaggert to help. Moira was a non-mutant, but she had learned of Charles and Erik’s nature and was sympathetic - and Charles had taken quite a shine to her.

With their collected data, Charles and Erik were able to locate many teens and through some telepathic persuasion, Charles and Erik were able to relocate the children to Charles' estate which they transformed into a private boarding school for 'Gifted Youngsters'.

Soon after the first classes were held, Charles, Erik, Moira, and student Hank McCoy began working on a machine that would enhance Charles' telepathic range, allowing him to find more mutant children to help.

## Analysis

* **Mutant Level:** Charles is an Alpha-Level Mutant with Alpha-Level projected potential.
* **Mutation - Telepath:** Charles is quite possibly the world's greatest telepath. He is able to read minds and project his own thoughts into the minds of others within a radius of 120 miles (193 km), though much closer proximity allows for a far greater level of precision.
	+ ***Astral Projection:*** Charles can use astral travel and communicate with others astrally. In the astral realm, he could use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects. However, Charles rarely does so, citing a bad past experience on the astral plane with another mutant.
	+ ***Illusions:*** Charles has the ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring. Charles can also telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around him quite different.
	+ ***Mask:*** Charles can mask his presence from being detected by others. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well.
	+ ***Memory Alteration:*** Charles has the ability to alter the memories and perceptions of others (whether an individual or group). This includes causing loss of particular memories or total amnesia.
	+ ***Mental Detection:*** Charles can sense the presence of another within a radius of himself. He can also filter the sensation to detect mutants.
	+ ***Mental Link:*** Charles has the ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a telepathic anchor, allowing Charles to find their mind easier over great distances.
	+ ***Mind Blast:*** Charles can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness. It is quite possible these could be fatal.
	+ ***Mind Control:*** Charles possesses the power to control the minds of others with concentration. Though Charles rarely forces his will directly on others, he does make use of this power often to allow him to stall the minds of others around him, making it appear as if time has stopped.
	+ ***Possession:*** With continued concentration, Charles can possess the mind of another and use that being's body as his own.
* **Expertise — Professor:** A natural genius, Charles is a recognized leading authority on genetics. He has written several books on the subject and often is called upon by others for consulting. He is also an expert in other life sciences, particularly mutation and psionics. He is highly talented in devising equipment for utilizing and enhancing psionic powers. Charles is also a masterful tactician, strategist, and an all-around excellent educator.
* **Background — Wealth:** Charles has been able to travel, learn other languages, afford an incredible education, and build a school to help others of his kind.
* **Secrets:** Though he is quite wealthy, Charles obviously does not have the resources to afford some of the state-of-the-art equipment incorporated into his mansion, particularly in the proposed sub-basement expansion. Most of his students and fellow faculty recognize this but Charles refuses to discuss such matters, even with me.
* **Faculty Duties:** In addition to working as Headmaster of the school, Charles also teaches courses in Literature, Ethics, Psionic Principles, and Arithmetic.
