Gambit

Very little is known about the man who calls himself Gambit and really, thats just the way he prefers it to be. Gambit often times keeps to himself and doesn't stay in any place longer than he has to. He doesn't keep a cell phone or credit cards so that people can't track him. Gambit very seldomly lets anyone into his private world. Typically only females have any dealings with him and more often than not, he'sgone in the middle of the night without a trace. Anyone well connected to the criminal underground networks would know Gambit simply by reputation only. He has a master thief and he's willing to steal anything for you assuming you can pay his fee. Trained by the world famous Thieves Guild and supposedly a member of the most prestigious House of LeBeau. A clan of thieves known for their skill.

Background
The baby that would one day grow up to be Remy LeBeau was kidnapped from a hospital ward in New Orleans by members of the Thieves Guild. They believed the baby with the red eyes was the fabled one who was prophesized to be the one person that could unite the guilds. They referred to him as le diable blanc (the white devil). The child had a rather hard upbringing, he was aggressively abused by his father His parents often left the baby unattended and unloved. At the age of 11 years old Gambit's parents were killed while on assignment for the Thieves Guild.Gambit was now orphaned and since he was stolen he had no paperwork with his identity. The boy was left to fend for himself on the mean streets of New Orleans. Gambit became a street urchin willing to do anything for money and food. He learned to steal and pray on the kindness of others. Life was rough to say the least. He'd eat whatever food he could find in trash cans or in the back of restaurants.

Gambit's life would change forever while out on his usual runs picking pockets of tourists. He would stick his hand into the pocket of the most well known thief in all of New Orleans. Jean-Luc LeBeau catches the boy trying to lift his wallet and decides to take him into his clan and giving the nameless boy the name of Remy LeBeau. The young Remy would be then trained in the arts of being a master thief in the House of LeBeau he became an official member of the Thieves Guild. Just because he now had a home and purpose didn't mean life was easier on the young Remy. Jean-Luc much like every other male adult in his life was very abusive of the toy. Because it was believed that Remy was supposed to be the chosen one to unite the Guilds, he was trained and worked even harder than any others to maximize his potential. This was also the time he was introduced to a girl from the Assassin's Guild. She would become Remy's only friend as they were not allowed to interact with the other kids outside of the clans. Her name was Bella Donna. As thekids grew up together they often found themselves spending more time with each other.

At the age of 17 Remy was old enough to go on his first job for the Thieves Guild. Remy's mutant powers would manifest themselves while the boy was training for his first solo mission. While tossing throwing knives at a target, one of them would get charged and explode. Then Remy realized the hidden power within him and trained himself to focus and control his ability to charge objects. However, he found traditional throwing objects to be so boring and as of late he had gotten pretty good at throwing playing cards. For Remy the idea of throwing charged cards was a lot more impressive and awe striking than knives or the such. After deciding that the cards would be his trademark he takes on the name of Gambit.Remy's first task was to go steal a secret formula from a brilliant scientist by the name of Nathanial Essex. Remy was unprepared by how well guarded the information was and got caught by Essex. It turned out that Essex was a mutant by the name of Mr. Sinister and he saw the mutant potential in the young Gambit and performed some experiments on the boy to help hone and strengthen his mutant powers. Sinister enhanced Gambit's powers to a degree that he could not attain on his own through training alone.

Essex gave Remy a copy of the formula so that the boy could return to the guild if he promised never to tell anyone what happened in the Essex mansion. Remy returned home with the formula and was celebrated as a master thief. Soon after Remy was to be married to his childhood friend. Remy's life would forever be changed on the day of his wedding to Bella Donna Boudreaux. Shortly after the ceremony Remy was challenged to a duel by Julien. Julien Boudreaux was Bella Donna's little brother and he had always protested their relationship. Remy killed Julien in self defense. To preserve the truce between the two guilds.. Remy was excommunicated from the Thieves Guild and banished from New Orleans. Taking what little possessions he had he jumped onto his motorcycle and decided to travel to New York City to start a new life for himself.

Personality
There are many sides to this troubled child of the streets of New Orleans than meets the eye. Gambit tends to portray himself as a confident and almost narcissistic southern gentleman. He tends to say what he means and almost always means what he says. Gambit can be rather blunt about things as he doesn't see the point in beating around the bush. Its the truth, like it or leave it. Sometimes it seems as if he just enjoys talking to hear himself talk. Often times he'll refer to himself in the third person, some may thing its because he's in love with himself but when in fact, its just how they talk in the area that he grew up in. Gambit seems to have an eye for the finer things in life, and that being women. Gambit may seem to be a shameless flirt when in the presence of a pretty face. He simply enjoys the company of pretty women around him at all times. Perhaps he's trying to fill the void left in him by the lack of motherly love with affection from random women. Gambit is an attention whore when it comes to females. But other times, he'd prefer it if the attention weren't on him as it tends to draw too many questions about his past which he'd prefer to leave a secret. Gambit is still relatively young and can't see himself giving his heart to any one woman at this stage in his life. So he prefers to bounce from relationship to relationship in hopes of finding that special someone he can some day settle down with. He's already had his heart broken once by his childhood sweetheart and he's in no rush to relive that emotional pain and anguish. Gambit is a proud man, he doesn't like to admit defeat or that he may be wrong about anything. He is determined and strong willed especially if he has his heart set on something, he'll go at it with everything he's got, not holding anything back. If he wants it, he'll find a way to get it. Be it a woman or jewels.

Aside from Gambit's self love, he does have a very big heart and is very protective of his friends and loved ones. Gambit does have a soft spot for the less fortunate citizens since he used to be one. He'll often go out of them. Gambit has abandonment issues since it seems he keeps losing the people he loves in his life. Often times, he'll be very cautious of who he lets into his life which can sort of make him seem snobbish. For all of his cavalier attitude towards women, he can be a real southern gentleman towards them. Just because he often times manipulates them to get what he wants or needs out of them doesn't mean he doesn't care. In fact, he often times feels bad for leaving women in the middle of the night and never letting them hear from him again. In the end its best for Gambit to leave on his own terms that way he can spare himself any heartache of a lengthy farewell. Gambit is extremely hard working and never takes anything for granted. He's had to earn everything that he has in life through years of hard work and dedication to his craft. Gambit isn't overly aggressive nor is he a pacifist. He's not really the type of person to want to start a fight but he won't back away from one if he has to. Gambit is both brave and courageous, however he also knows when to call it quits. In poker terms, he knows when to lay down his cards. Gambit is smart enough not to get himself into no win situations.Gambit considers himself to be a professional and often takes offense to being compared to a common thief or refered to as such. Even tough he isn't ashamed of being a thief its just not something he likes to let people know about him since its more hassle when people know your business. Gambit usually doesn't care what people think of him, or at least he doesn't care what men think of him.. he wants women to have a high opinion of him.
