==='''Biography'''===
 
 
 
From June 1994 through August 2005, David North was an average white-collar employee of Initech, a corporate benefits-management firm. However, after a chance sighting of [[Omega Red | Arkady Rossovich]], he began to have strange flashbacks and breaks with reality that revealed his life to be more complex than he had imagined.
 
 
 
In actuality, David North was really Cristophe Nord, an East German counterintelligence agent and field operative of the Weapon X program. For the past eleven years, he had been operating as David North, even to the point of undergoing deep psionic and hypnotic conditioning to believe his own cover identity. When confronted by Arkady, however, North's conditioning began to break down and he started to remember.
 
 
 
The one overpowering memory was that if things went wrong, to find [[Logan]], his fellow Weapon X operative. At the time, however, Logan was up in Canada, and North was able to contact the school searching for him. Upon recognizing the name Charles Xavier, North requested asylum and protection, and a team of X-Men was dispatched to bring him to a safehouse.
 
 
 
Through an expedient (and painful) psychic deprogramming, [[Psylocke]]'s psychic knife revealed the truth of North's identity, and he began to remember who Arkady Rossovich truly was. Rossovich, the former Russian experiment known as Omega Red, had made his way to America and encountered North totally by chance. It was a failed mission to kill Omega Red that had sent North undercover, and now the Russian was looking to return the favor.
 
 
 
Omega Red attacked the safehouse, engaging [[Jetstream]], [[Juggernaut]], and [[Colossus]] in combat until North seemingly sacrificed himself to destroy the safehouse and Omega Red along with it in a gas main explosion.
 
 
 
After the mission, during the [[Upgrade | medical procedure]] to cure Jetstream of Omega Red's death spores, North called the mansion and informed [[Theresa Cassidy]] of the procedures needed to eliminate the toxic spores. Aside from a bouquet of flowers sent later that week to Betsy, North has remained incognito.
 
 
 
 
 
==='''Powers/Abilities'''===
 
 
 
David North possesses the mutant ability of short-range precognition, limited to sixty seconds and rarely controllable. This minor psychic ability acts as somewhat of a "danger sense", alerting him to the possible outcomes of any course of action. While undercover, North had this ability suppressed by the Weapon X project.
 
 
 
North is also trained in various forms of military tactics, intelligence, and combat. He has displayed knowledge of surveillance and counter-surveillance tactics, as well as expedient explosives.
