YOU KNOW I'M BORN TO LOSE AND GAMBLING'S FOR FOOLS But that's the way I like it, baby. I don't want to live forever.

PERSONALITY Words that describe Gambit: Show-off, sneaky, under-handed. You only know Gambit if Gambit wants you to. To most people, Gambit comes across as a flippant, sarcastic rebel who rarely thinks about anyone but himself, and that’s exactly what he wants you to think. If you’re busy thinking he’s up to no good and just in it for Remy, they don’t tend to want you around, which leaves him free to assist from the background where no one would think to look for him. As much as he prefers a more subtle approach to most situations, Remy loves the limelight. When performing any action, be it battle, a date, or washing the car, his first focus is doing it with style. Ever the showman, Gambit is always quick with a snide comment, flourish, and twirl of his bo-staff. Remy leBeau isn’t a thief because it’s a great way to make money, which it is and he knows it. He’s a thief, and the best damn thief in New Orleans, thank you very much, because he can make it look good. Remy has the sort of cocky swagger and irrepressible self-confidence that makes men hate him and most woman fall at his feet. Remy will always be a flirt, but his heart will forever belong to Rogue. She captured his full attention as soon as he laid eyes on her, and he’s spent every waking moment sense trying to be the man he thinks she deserves. Sometimes he falters, and sometimes his past has come to light to her in very bad ways that have pushed her away from him, but he still fights. Earning the right to her love has become his main purpose in life, and he would wait for her to the ends of every Earth they've ever visited, as well as any they haven’t seen yet. He differs from the other x-men in many ways. He’s always been somewhat of an outcast among them because of differences of opinion. He sees the good in people’s actions, whether part of the team or no, whereas most of them think that events and happenings should stay with the team. He gained a sense of family, albeit dysfunctional, from his being raised by the Thieves’ Guild, and that proved to him that humans could, in fact, accept a mutant into their ranks, welcome them as one of their own. This leaves him much more open-minded to outsiders than most of his teammates, and leads to quite a bit of contention among them as well. That coupled with the fact that Remy is willing to steal items and information to accomplish his goals leads to any of the x-men mistrusting him, even his precious Rogue, though she understands his reasons much more intimately than any of the others, and is more willing to accept his methods. His methods are what have always made him a questionable ally to the x-team. As a whole, Team X stand for equality, freedom, and righteousness. For the most part, Remy agrees with their goals, but his childhood and the harsh truths it instilled in him have taught him that, to attain ones ends, sometimes, subtly and subterfuge are required. He knows that the altruistic way is not always the best way, and that the most rewarding effects are often attained by the most illicit of processes. In essence, Remy understands that the end will justify the means. That and his secrecy lead to their mistrust. The secret to any successful sabotage is to keep your adversary guessing. When those adversaries have several powerful telepaths on the payroll, it’s useful to keep the information in as few heads as possible. He doesn’t usually share the information with anyone because, due to the very nature of his power, his mind is very difficult to read, or even locate. For the most part, the information is safe with him. He knows that, and doesn’t trust the others not to try to stop him. He’s given them plenty of reasons to try, after all. Besides, once a thief, always a thief.

ABOUT "Every man's got a price to charge and a price to pay, but forget it...as of today, you can't afford me no more." Born an orphan, Remy was marked at birth by his red eyes as "Le Diable Blanc", the White Devil. A prophecy stated he was destined to unite the Thieves and Assassins guilds after centuries of bloody feuding. Remy's marriage to Belladonna of the Assassins seemed poised to fulfill that destiny until her brother challenged him, rebelling against the union. Remy's power's were nigh uncontrollable and he ended up killing his new brother-in-law. Expelled from New Orleans, he traveled the globe, fighting to control his overwhelming power, until Nathaniel Essex, aka Mr. Sinister made him an offer he couldn't refuse: lead my people to the Morlocks and I'll make your powers easier to manage. Remy accepted. He hadn't expected the Marauders to murder them to a man. Remy was able to lead one girl to safety, but the atrocity of his act, his unwitting destruction of so many lives, still haunts him. He wants nothing more than to one day, redeem himself for his selfishness. He's not sure it's possible. Words that describe Gambit: Show-off, sneaky, under-handed.
