Biography
Gabrielle is a survivor of Dachau who became a trauma specialist. She went to grad school with Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr and lived with them for a time around 1980, becoming active in civil rights movements and conducting research into the mutant gene. She had an affair with Charles during that time, but the couple's ambitions and personal missions caused them to separate amicably. At a chance meeting at a conference in 1981 led to a one night stand which resulted in the conception of David Haller: it was decided the child would be raised by Gabrielle's brother and his wife and his parentage kept secret.
She eventually became a medical doctor and worked full time at the hospital, becoming a celebrated name in the field of psychology. She also lectured extensively on the subjects of terrorism, genocide, and bigotry. She was named Israel's ambassador to the UK in the late 1990s. She remained in contact with Charles, and in October 2005 she asked him for help with a difficult situation involving mutant terrorists.
Gabrielle is both a psychiatrist and a politician, so she knows exactly what to say in order to manipulate a situation until she gets what she wants. Not that she's cold-hearted or ruthless, and she desperately wants to believe the best in people, but rarely finds herself in the position to do so.
Powers/Abilities
Gabrielle Haller is a baseline human with no powers. She is, however, a skilled psychiatrist and politician, and has considerable influence in mutant-related matters in Israel.
